We're back!


After a long absence CAS MIX UP has returned!
It's great to have the team back together - some old faces/some new ones and I am soooo happy to be back and part of it!
All the info as to what is happening and the rules are also on the CAS MIX UP blog.
Our challenges run for 1 month, all the rules are shown on the challenge blog and there in my sidebar. 

Our first challenge is a mixed media one, simply called 'ECLIPSE'.
Please make sure your creation follows the definition of Clean and Simple and your make must include stamping.
There are some video tutorials to help you along the way on the challenge blog and also some amazing inspiration from the Design Team and our Guest Designer this month  Michelle (I Card Everyone) 

 I really hope you will link up a creation to the gallery. 

This was my very first attempt at this technique - I stamped and heat embossed then watercoloured. 

I have no idea why I have never tried this before as I really like the 3D look.
I was that excited 😄I made two! 
Thanks for stopping by. x

Wonderful eclipse card Viv. Did you Di’s post on how to do EASY eclipse technique using a stamping platform?
Hope you enjoyed your holiday.
Hugs, Sarnie xx

Hi Viv. This is a beautiful card. I love the gorgeous floral image and your colouring is so lovely. I know it's hard to die-cut in the middle of a finished image, but your hugs sentiment looks amazing and adds some wonderful dimension to your card. Great work!! xx

Lovely to see the challenge back on you back on the DT. What a great start with this card. I am loving the soft pink xx

This is a beautiful large floral so prettily watercoloured and with some lovely added splatters Viv, and the 'hugs' eclipse stands out perfectly. If this is your first attempt you did absolutely brilliantly...a wonderful card! x

Isn't it a fun technique? I'm so happy you brought it back to CAS!
Thanks so much for having me as your GD!

A wonderful, delicate, very feminine card. Such a beautiful backdrop for the eclipse technique. Thank you for the inspiration.
