Our talented Designer, Susan Joyce, is hosting the challenge this month and her theme is Layered Stamping with Heat Embossing. Our wonderful guest designer is Bozena (ArtCardBox).
If you're not familiar with layered stamping with heat-embossing, please check out the tutorial videos provided on the challenge site.
Here's my card:
Using Layered Stamping with Heat Embossing, Die-cutting, and Stamping
[How I made the card]
1. Heat-embossed the layered butterfly stamps in the following order: first, the wing color; next, the wing pattern; and finally, the black outline. (*1)
2. Lightly stenciled the concentric circles with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink.
3. Heat-embossed the sentiment with glitter black embossing powder.
4. Die-cut the front panel and popped it up with craft foam.
*1. It's hard to see in the picture, but the outlines are heat-embossed in glitter black embossing powder (the same as the sentiment).
I like the shine of layered heat-embossing!

Fabulous CAS card, whilst using the fun layering technique. What a striking effect and what wonderful colours you've used. The balance and design of your card looks gorgeous and the pop of black looks terrific. Love the subtle use of the stencil on the background too x.
ReplyDeleteOh Hideko, you know the trickiness of layering embossing powders. The "order" definitely is IMPORTANT and this card is a beauty. Bravo! The sentiment perfectly fits this great composition, I love this card ...spring is in the air xxx
ReplyDeleteYour butterflies are gorgeous, Hideko! Love the bright colors and the soft stenciled background adds just the right amount of extra interest! The rounded corners go perfectly with the graceful curves of the butterfly. You've rocked this one, my friend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - love the layers of embossing and the sparkle in the sentiment and outline!
ReplyDeleteGreat work with this technique Hideko!! Your butterflies are gorgeous! And I love the soft stenciling for the background. Your glitter black embossing powder is pretty ... I have some of that too. It is hard to capture the iridescent colours in a photo. xx

Love your pretty butterflies Hediko, beautiful CAS card.
ReplyDeleteI've not heard of layered stamping with heat embossing but you achieved amazing results! And even with the subtle stenciled background, it's still a CAS beauty!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, Hideko. Your layered embossed butterflies look amazing. You did a fabulous job with this technique. The light blue stencilling is a wonderful touch. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun technique that sounds like it can be tricky to do! I love the colors on your beautiful butterflies Hideko - as well as the curve on two of your corners! xx
