CAS MIX UP - November

The new challenge at CAS MIX UP starts today.
Hosted by JENNY, the challenge is to use Powdered Inks with your Stencils.


I am not very proficient with Powdered Inks, particularly Brushos where I always end up either soaking the paper or even worse speckling the walls (and anything else in a 10 foot radius) when I spray the water.😟

I remembered seeing a video some time back where Distress Oxides were used with powders so thought I'd give that a go.

The Pixie Powders have a lovely intense shimmer and when mixed with the colour of the Oxides make a really rich deep iridescence.

I used a Waves stencil from Funky Fossil and created a little underwater scene with dies.
I quite enjoyed making this!

Here's a little close up of the shine 

And here's what I used -  the rest of the CAS DT have some amazing inspiration on the Blog  and am looking forward to see what you create! x
