CAS Mix Up Reminder: Print Making with Die Cuts

It's mid-month reminder time at CAS Mix Up!  Our host, Bonnie, gave us the nudge to try our hands at print making with dies.  Turns out it's quite a lot of fun!  Don't forget, this is a 5 yr birthday celebration for the challenge, too, and there are prizes to be won.  I hope you'll hop over and celebrate with us!


 


I made my card about a month ago when I tried the technique for the first time.  Hey, if I can do it. . .

Bonnie gave us a video link for instructions:  Print Making by Kathy Racoosin 9:11




I've used an older Rose Bouquet die and Spectrum Noir sparkle watercolor pens.  I hope you'll take a look at what the rest of the team and our talented guest designer, Ros, are offering up for inspiration.  They've got some beautiful stuff!  Now, let's see yours!

Have a fabulous day!


Stamps:  Lawn Fawn Wavy Sayings  Paper:  Arches 140 lb cold press watercolor, other white card base  Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black (sentiment)  Coloring:  Spectrum Noir sparkle watercolor pens  Dies:  Die-namites Rose Bouquet, Lil' Inker Side Stitched Rectangles, Lawn Fawn Fancy Wavy Banners

    I'm not familiar with this technique, but I do love what you've done with it! I think the soft background makes these tulips so lovely! Pretty stitched details too.

    Leslie, this is so pretty! I love how this techniques makes for such a nice soft background, must give this a try. A very CAS card, love it! Rose bouquet die cut is so pretty, and love the banner how it just nestles under the leaves so nicely. Sorry for such a late comment, life has just been busy. But I'm so glad to see your card today. Hope you are keeping well, and the reno's are going good!
