CAS Mix Up August 2021 Reminder

Just a quick little post, with lots of photos - reminding you how fun Jenny's technique is for CAS Mix Up August 2021!  There was just a teensy bit of a mix-up with my cards this month, but it IS a MIX UP challenge, right?  So if my card looks familiar, don't question your memory, okay?  lol
 

While searching through my stencils, I found this one from Altenew, called Rose Bouquet, that hadn't been used!  How did that happen?  It was great fun for blending different colors, and stamping with another never-before-used cling stamp from Hero Arts! The GORGEOUS  Hello is a two piece die from Pigment Craft Co. and was cut directly from my stencil/stamped piece, and popped up with thin foam strips.


I shared my MISTI set up on August 1st.  
It's a time-saver to do your stencil work, and take that grid paper right over to my 
my MISTI for stamping!


Here are is that stamp, and the inks I've chosen today.


After stenciling, don't forget to spritz and save that leftover ink
onto a few pieces of paper for later!  One never knows when the CAS gals
are going to ask for one of these fun mop-up techniques!


It's been so much fun playing along with the CAS Mix Up gals again - thanks a million, Jenny, for the invitation!  Thank all of YOU for stopping by!  Now let's go see all the reminder cards, shall we?

Looks like you have had such fun here Michele, I'm sure that I wouldn't possibly have any products sitting around that I haven't used (wink), but I do love how you made this stencil shine!

First of all, how could I have missed your trick with the MISTI grid paper?
It's pure brilliance and I'm going to use it from now on.
Although I knew about use the leftover ink on stencils, I've always forgotten to do it. GAH! Must be my OCD cleanliness tendencies.
Second, the colors, stenciling, stamping and sentiment treatment make for one GLORIOUS card. The over stamping makes your roses look so textured. Goes without saying, having you as Guest Designer at CAS Mix Up has been a total blast.

TFS the photos of your stamping thru your stencil technique, Michele. Love the colors and texture and your wonderful die cut inlaid sentiment. A real beauty, my friend. It has been great having you as one of our GD this month. Love and Hugs...Nancy

Jeanne said...

This card is just wonderful and showcases the technique beautifully. I really like the subtle look of the stenciling on the flowers and leaves. The way you highlighted the stampset is wonderful. Fantastic work, my friend. Crafty hugs!

Your beautiful roses really show off the pattern of your stamping! Such a pretty stencil and colors, and just look at what you have left over! The mop up created some amazing pieces. You rocked the GD spot this month, Michele!

Cat Craig said...

Fabulous.

Bobby said...

That background stamp adds such great shading to those stenciled roses, Michele. I can't believe you haven't used it or the stencil before. I guess we're both over achievers since we didn't have to do reminder cards but did. lol

Loll said...

This is another gorgeous card Michele. Great work with your beautiful flower stencil and the very cool stamp over top!! Glad we were able to finally straighten out the cards this month. :) Thanks for being our Guest Designer at CAS Mix Up! xx

Love the Altenew Stencil, your colour choice and the stamping on top Michelle, fantastic work. Thanks for the visual photo's of how you achieved such great results.

Stephanie Lanzalotto said...

This is gorgeous, Michele. I have wanted to play this one and have not gotten to it yet. Crazy busy here and gearing up to go back to work. :( Your card is gorgeous and the colors you chose is fantastic.

Linda said...

WOW! This is gorgeous! I love the stencil and the textured look from the stamping. Thank you for being a fabulous GD this month xx

Papercraft Boutique said...

This is a pretty rose card, Michele! You made a great choice for the stencil because it has a good amount of open space.
The soft color combo is so pretty, and the camouflage die-cut sentiment adds so much interest to the card.
And, of course, you don’t waste leftover ink! I'm sure you'll make fabulous cards with these extra backgrounds. Thanks for sharing pictures! I love visual explanation!
