CAS Mix Up March Card Challenge

Hi friends!  Hope all is well with you!

Bonnie is hosting the CAS Mix-Up Challenge this month and she has a video to share about her technique which is "Print Making with Die cuts"

 

This was fun!  I did what Kathy R did in the video and I laid out a large piece of watercolor paper and then after coloring the butterfly with zig clean color brush pens, I made prints with it all over the watercolor sheet.

I think what it needs is some splatters, but I didn't think of it until right now while I am posting and looking at the card!  LOL, I guess I could always add splatters now, you all just won't be able to see it!

 

So if you haven't already visited the CAS Mix Up Blog, I suggest you do so, this is another way to get more use out of your dies!  And it does make a pretty cool background too!

 Thank you Bonnie for this suggestion, I really enjoyed doing this technique!

CAS Mix-UP Challenge and Color Hues

I friends!  I have one card for two challenges today.  

I am joining in the CAS MIX-UP CHALLENGE  and the COLOR HUES #11

I made my own stencil using an Impression Obsession Heart Die.

After laying it on my cardstock, I smooshed my versamark embossing pad over the stencil (after I used my powder buddy!).  then I added some new to me Distress embossing glaze..the brand new color of Kitsch flamingo, isn't it pretty?

I had the die cut sentiment sitting on my desk that I had not used for another card and thought, VOILA this is where they belong!  And when I used those, it came to me that I could enter this in the Color Hues which is red and pink this time!  Don't you love when things work out like that?

I backed it with a bit of gray cardstock from PTI called weathervane.

You really must go to those challenges and see all the awesomeness from the designers!

 

 

 Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day and a wonderful week!

 

Heart Hugs, friends!
