CAS Mix Up June Mid Month Reminder

I chose the word prompt of  'FLIGHT' for my host month at CAS Mix Up  and we're half way through so there's still time to add your make into the gallery!
(It's my birthday today too so it would be a lovely pressie if you fill our gallery with gorgeousness!

Followers of my blog will have seen this sentiment before because I love it!

I black heat embossed the feathers and the emerging birds first.

Smooshed Twisted Citron and Salty Ocean Oxides onto a piece of acetate and then simply pressed the acetate sheet down onto the card where I wanted it.

I like being able to see where I am putting the colours - if I do random smooshing direct to my card when I turn it over it's normally a muddy mess!

Sentiment also black heat embossed.

Please pop in on the rest of my lovely teamies!

Have a lovely day - I am planning on eating cake - lots of it!🍰🍰🎂

Happy birthday, Viv! Only a day late. I think that's the most interesting feather and birds stamp, and certainly true words. The smooshy background is one of my favorites to create, and in my favorite color combo, too. Really love this!

Thanks for the tip about water colouring with the acetate Viv x. Such a beautiful card with great stamping and a wonderful sentiment. I hope you ate lots of cake? x.

TK said...

Wonderful card, Viv, and your tip is quite the trick! I too struggle with smooshing, but acetate seems to help and still have some control. OK I know I'm late to the game, but did I mention I just added my card to the gallery, and a bit of smooshing?!

Belated birthday wishes!! Sorry I'm late....
Terrific creation and so very lovely Viv, I've never seen that sentiment before and it's just perfect!

I don't know what's happened to the time recently, but realise I have missed so many of your posts, so rather belatedly here I am, and this feather and birds with that super sentiment immediately jumped out at me as I was scrolling through. I love the blue and green inked background, and it was also your birthday which I sadly missed at the time, so hope you had a lovely day Viv. x
