Had fun this past week playing with Frantage and Lindy Magical Powders....
This is My Card....
I sprinkled Lindy Magical powders through a stencil and activated them with water.
I used Creme Brulee, Dark Chocolate Truffle and Sandra Dee Sepia.
The first two have the shimmer in them and if you are looking for a light,
cream like colour then the Brulee is fabulous.
The Sepia is a flat colour with no shine.
The die cut flowers and leaf have been embossed with Frantage Aged Copper
embossing enamel to give a Faux Metal appearance.
Depending how long you heat them you can get a
molten effect or bumps, more textural look.
I did both this time.
I finished off with stamping the sentiment in brown.
You can get a real super shine from the Frantage and the Lindy Powders.
The CAS Mix Up Challenge is on until the 24th so I shall be popping my card
into the challenge for fun....My choice is Stencil, die cutting and heat embossing.
I shall be popping my card into CAS on Friday Challenge, which is to make a CAS Thank You Card
Take It Make It Challenge - Anything goes and to include a stamp
Thrilled to have been chosen as a top four with my card....Thank you x
Stamplorations - CAS without the optional colour twist.
Thank you so much for stopping by.

This is so beautiful I love the heat embossed flower and the bronze colour co-ordinates perfectly with the powders that you've used in the background. Another work of art Mac! x
Just adore the colours in this Mac. Great layout and design. Beautiful.x
WOW Mac, how gorgeous this is, I love that molten copper on the flower and the background stencil and colours are fabulous, Kate x
Oh my word - that copper flower looks just incredible - an extraordinarily beautiful focal point. And when you manage to tear your eyes away from it, you get that wonderful patchwork grid of magical colour blends. I do have some Creme Brulee somewhere - thank you for the nudge to get it out and have a play when I get back to the UK.

Wow Mac, this is awesome! You have used a couple of products I have never seen before, ie: Magical Powders and the Frantage embossing powder, I will have to see if they are available here in Western Australia. Gorgeous card dear friend.
This is so creative and stunning Mac!
I am truly in awe of this card. The copper is so beautiful and the design is so unique. I love everything about this. I've been holding off getting Lindy Magical powders - but now, on my list.
I am in awe at your creation, this is AM-AZE-ING. I am going to have to get down and buy & play, who would know that this can be achieved with ink and powder?

Such impact Mac, the embossed die cut is oozing with melted goodness. It's almost a shame to be a card as it would look fabulous framed. A really striking work of art, thank you as always for sharing. You are so fabulous.
Hugs for a super weekend Tracey xx
Wow, those Lindy's magical powders are just beautiful. I love the way you used the Frantage Aged Copper on your flowers. The look like metal. You did a great job!
This neutral palette is so rich, the background blows my mind with all this granulation happening, I ADORE it! Not to say that your blooms compliment it perfectly. Interesting approach to this embossing powder and very well executed. A unique beauty my friend, xx
This is so beautiful, I love the effect you've achieved. Looks like fun too - think I might have to try something similar.
Beautiful effect . I like that stencil too. I really should bebrave and use my embossing powders ore. Hugs Mrs A.
All I can say is Wow! xxx
Wow, gorgeous neutral Magical stenciled background, Mac! The colors and the visual texture are just stunning. The mix of the shimmer and flat Magicals must look more interesting IRL.
And I love the aged copper embossed flowers and leaf! I feel like reaching out my hand and actually touching the smooth part and the textural part. It's truly a feast for the eyes!
Hideko xx
S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G! Your artistry and creativity is limitless. Gorgeous design. Fabulous dimensions and texture. Love it! xx
I was sure that I was commenting on this divine miracle, but I see that there is no comment, so I probably got stuck in the translator :(
I love every detail of this card. Every stain in the background, both glossy and dull, are wonderful, but your flower, with two different types of surface, is a real revelation.
You are so creative, that always leaves me with their mouth open in awe
Hugs,
BożenA
That is soooo beautiful...thanks for the inspiration. I have a bunch of dies that I don't really like, but would look beautiful done in faux metal.
One of my favorite cards, Mac--just love the copper & the design! I never use my Frantage powders, but you've made me want to get them out!
Your Magical work is soooooo pretty my friend and that embossed die is so dimensional It just jumps off the page! WOW WOW WOW! So cool! Hugs, Autumn
That background is out of this world!!!! Stunning!
Amazing card Mac! Stunning background with the coppery floral diecut, congrats on your shoutout at Craft Stamper too, Cathy x
