CAS Mix Up Challenge - June 2022

 

Welcome back, CAS Mix Up team - we all missed you so much!  

I dug deep and found that dreamy embossing paste that I had to have after seeing it used the first time by Laura Bassen - yes, I do it, too!  Color me influenced!

I found a way to use it in a fun way ... at the beach!

  

The paste has a pretty pearlescence to it... my little PTI Sandpiper is having a

good time dashing in and out of the receding waves!

Off I go to deliver this to their gallery - have you delivered yours yet?

CAS Mix Up May 2021 - Guest Designer!

Imagine my joy when Jenny asked if I'd like to be a guest designer at CAS Mix Up in May!  YES!  I would, I would!  lol  When I was told it was a stencil challenge, I was a wee bit apprehensive - oh I have plenty of stencils!  I just don't use them very often.  But, here is the clincher... RAINBOW!!!  Susan  is our host with the most, and she has combined that rainbow with ink blending through a stencil!

How could I say no to that fun?!  So I did a little search through my stash, and yes, I found one from Flora & Fauna that hadn't been used:  Leaf Stencil.  Then pulled out these Distress Oxides:  

I mounted a piece of Bristol to my acetate, pulled out my brushes, and added a rainbow of color.  Then die-cut a cute Waffle Flower Magical Flower cut from Bristol, a fun square hemstitch detail, a sweet sentiment stamped, and VOILA!

This wonderful sentiment is from a Stamplorations set - you'll see more of it soon!

Thank you to the CAS Mix Up team for the invitation to play cards!  I had so much fun I hope they ask me for a reminder card!!

I'm betting right about now you have your thinking cap on, right?  Oh we do hope you'll play along, too - remember this is a month-long challenge!
