Is it CAS enough? CAS Mix Up July 2022

 

I am my own worst critic when it comes to judging my own use of CAS design!  I sat down today to make another card for CAS Mix Up because I really hadn't given much in the line of water-coloring on my first card.   But then this happened:

Even I know that there isn't enough white space.  I went overboard with

the layers.  Even though I love the card, it just isn't CAS enough to enter.

Back to the drawing board! 

Another pretty painting - but WHY can't I leave well enough [and in this

case leave the white space] alone????  

It's better, and I won't be one bit mad if it doesn't make the CAS cut - I always say I'm here to play, have fun and most of all support my favorite challenges!  Besides that, this beautiful Scarlet Tanager is winging his way to a friend who needs him!

The Flower Challenge #69 - Blue and Yellow

 

Continued support for those brave people of Ukraine, we've chosen blue and yellow for our color challenge this month at The Flower Challenge!   My card started with a few foiled hexagons from Pinkfresh Studios... foiled one at a time, of course...

... and then the fun continued with stamping galore!

I think this is as 'mixed media' as I've ever been! ha!  Only a few shades of blue, and yellow were used to color my flowers, and butterflies.  Then I added bits of stamping in grey, a few random dots of color, and a wonderful sentiment from W+9's Flora and Fauna 3 set - love that there is a die included for that sentiment!

I'm looking forward to all the blue and yellow cards in our gallery this week!  Thank you for playing!  Come see what my friend Nancy Penir, of Artful Notions, has added to our gallery as our featured guest this month!
