CAS Mix Up Color Your Die Cuts

Bonnie is hosting our July CAS Mix Up Color Your Die Cuts Challenge.

You will be inspired by all the beautiful cards created by our talented DT
and our awesome Guest Designer, Susan Joyce (Cat's Ink Corporated).

You have until the 24th to play along in this fun challenge!



Using Coloured Die Cut with Zigs + Stamping + Dry Embossing and Splash Watercolouring.

I used a Splash Watercolour Background,  
which I die cut with Poppystamps "Floral Stem Collage" Die.

Here is Loll's You Tube video Splash Watercolour Backgrounds 2:25 which I used
for my background.  This technique is also for the
July CAS Watercolour Challenge that I am hosting, starting on July 2nd.

I die cut a SU Whisper White Thick CS with the flower blossom die
and colored with Zigs and spritzed with water using TH spritzer.
Next I used a Signo White gel pen to highlight the veins and added Wink of Stella.

Then I dry embossed SU Very Vanilla Thick CS with SU Brick EB Folder
and mounted my die cut image.  Next popped up
with fun foam onto Very Vanilla card base.

Used a scrap from the background to stamp the Penny Black "Happy Snippets" 
sentiment, attaching with SU mini dimensionals and Done!

Hope you get to play along with us at CAS Mix Up.
Be sure and check out all the beautiful cards by our DT and Guest Designer.

Have fun coloring your Dies.  Hugs...

  12. Oh, wow, another gorgeous creation! Really love the brick wall background, and I see this is the outer frame of your splashy watercolor background. Way to stretch your stuff! By the way, I hope your stamp room purge is coming along. It's a tough job!

    1. Yep..I got 2 cards with one die..negative and positive. Love that!

      I finished purging yesterday and have a friend picking up every thing to resell or keep. That part I don't like doing. We are both happy:-)

      Now I am feeling creative, especially after finding many treasures! Thank you for your sweet comment, Leslie. Hugs...

Also, thanks for the comment on my blog and introducing me to this new challenge site! I have bookmarked it and will try to play when I can! Was so inspired today when I came by!
