CAS Stencil Challenge Reminder



Hello friends!  Just a reminder that there is still time to link up your card for the March CAS Stencil Card Challenge 
Viv is hosting this month and she is challenging everyone to use ‘Heat Embossing’ with your stencils. As always, there are several links to techniques over at CAS Stencil Blog for your inspiration.


After a few failures, I found that using a make-up sponge works well to apply Versamark to this pattern. Once I got a clean impression, I sprinkled embossing powder and heat to set. I love the shine from heat embossing...it's too bad I'm unable to capture it on screen. Next, I die cut the bunny on the front of the card and stamped her on the inside, then colored with Copic markers. A few sparkly gems and a sweet sentiment, and this card was complete :)

There's lots of Design Team inspiration over at CAS Stencil Blog as well as from our super talented  Guest Designer, Cat ~ And, don't forget there are also links to video tutorials. You have until the 24th to link up your card...I hope to see you there! 

Thanks so much for stopping by...I really appreciate your visits!
Stay safe, be smart, and please don't forget to wash your hands :)






Supplies:
Stamps: MFT - Sweet Somebunny; Clearly Besotted - Accent It
Dies: MFT - Sweet Somebunny
Stencils: SSS - Diagonal Stripes
Misc: WOW Embossing Powder - Bluetiful; Copic Markers; Lucy's Gems

Your bunny card is so sweet, Barb. I love your stenciled heat embossed border that matches your bunny. BTW, I can see a bit of shine on your photo. We all know the issues with photographing shine:-) TFS Hugs and you stay safe too, my friend. Hugs...Nancy

I can see the shine of your embossing, well enough to imagine the true effect anyway. Love that rabbit and the lovely pastel colours xx

A Make up Sponge sounds like a clever idea and looks like it worked well too! Such a cute card Barb and I'm loving these colours too!

I see one cute shopping bunny, your shine, and also think this is the card that you should clip to your mirror, Barb - wouldn't that be the best pep talk a girl could ever need each day?
So very adorable!

What a sweet bunny Barb - so nicely colored in the pastel colors to match your pretty clear embossed slanted line stenciling. How fun to have it stamped inside the die cut out on the front! xx
