Welcome back to a new CAS Mix Up challenge. Susan is attacking Oxidized Metal. Head on back to the challenge to see all the inspiration from our guest Arlene, the talented design team, plus the videos!
Just like last month, I continued with the monogram theme. This one is for my eldest daughter’s BD. Following the video, I used watercolours straight out of the tube as a substitute. I applied two colours to the foil card stock, heated and then clear heat embossed. The old Cricut machine came out and an M was cut. These square frames from Penny Black were die cut 3 times and glued together (Loll uses them beautifully, hence, I purchased 😛 ). Before assembling the card I stamped Technique Tuesday’s Fanfare set and heat embossed in silver->silver pearl->white EP the card base. Some Spellbinder flowerettes were cut in silver Japanese paper and vellum. Liquid Pearls were added for embellishment.
Hope to see you in our gallery! Thanks so much for stopping by,
what gorgeous coloring on your M Joanna! A lovely metallic look and a beautiful swirls behind the letter and a pretty die cut framing! a special card for your eldest daughter! xx

Fabulous birthday card for your daughter, Joanna! You got fantastic results with the technique and the die-cut initial is stunning. I always love your detailed work – the heat-embossed flourishes, the pretty flowers, and the liquid pearl embellishment. Your new die-cut frame looks awesome too.
