CAS Mix Up October Challenge

CAS Mix Up has a new challenge running until the last day of the month and the task is 'BLACKOUT EMBOSSING'


The 3d embossing folder is Spellbinders Beautiful Blooms.

I cut out one of the blooms from the embossing folder and used this for my blackout.
The flower and leaves were coloured with watercolour pencils.

I popped the white piece up on some 3d foam tape so the blackout piece is slightly lower.
I am a rubbish photographer as I seem to have somehow not shown the back matted layer all the way round - trust me it's there! 

I hope you will visit the CAS Mix Up blog and have a look at some of the gorgeous makes from the rest of the DT - they're definitely worth a look!
And then maybe you'll have a go and link up to us - we really like to visit and see what you have created! x

I have yet to try this technique but you've done a grand job of using it combined with a CAS style of card.

This is a beautiful floral EF Viv and so pretty in pink and green with the black ink, and a great idea to cut the piece from the white embossed EF and placed back into the angled square aperture so it seamlessly matches up.. a wonderful card. x

Great CAS design, I love that the whole card is debossed with the blackout portion framed in centre!
