A scheduled post - regular visitors to my blog will know I am on the DT for CAS Mix Up and normally we have a new challenge on the 1st of every month.
If you have visited the CAS Mix Up blog in the last few days you will have seen the little note from Loll announcing that our challenges are temporarily on hold - never fear we will be back as soon as we can!
Some light ink blending for the background in Spun Sugar and Tumbled Glass.
I stamped the image direct on the background, then stamped again onto some card and heat embossed before watercolouring and fussy cutting it out.
This is a really big stamp so there's a little bit of it cut off at the bottom.
Matted onto black card before mounting on the base card.
The stark white base card didn't look right so I blended a little of the same background colours onto it which gave a much softer effect.
Was a quick and relatively simple make too!
Thanks for looking - hope everyone is safe and well in blogland and I'll be back soon! x

Very pretty and I like the pink you have used on the flower. Hope you get your internet sorted out on the 15th. Hugs Mrs A.
Love this one Viv, and it is so good to see you back posting again xx
Beautiful grungy style stamp. Like your idea of making the card base blend in with the rest, I think it gave it a softer look.
Beautiful card, Viv. I love the design. xx
What a super gift of this pretty floral stamp and you have made a gorgeous card with it, and love that you have given it a bit more dimension by fussy cutting it and adding it over the top...the colouring is beautiful and the soft background ink blending really makes it special. x
Not sure how I missed this stunner Viv. It’s AWESOME!
So glad you are now connected and getting sorted in your new home.
Hugs, Sarnie xxx
