Here is my July CAS Mix Up Reminder Card using Stamping + Marker Layering + my choice Die Cuts.
Because the many flowers and leaves are quite small I spent probably an hour of relaxing coloring with my new SU 2016 In Color markers. I used Karen Barber's SCS Marker Layering Tutorial for my marker technique. I stamped my image using SU Archival Basic Gray ink. I colored the leaves twice with Emerald Envy then the flowers twice with Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo and Sweet Sugarplum. I added my Dazzling Details to the centers of each flower, let dry before adding a 2nd layer of DD. I thought it was just the right amount of bling.
I Die Cut my main image and the frame with my SU Square Collection. I colored the frame with my Dapper Denim marker so I could get subtle streaks. I then sanded the frame a bit and inlayed my main image.
When looking for the right sentiment I came across the SU Die Cut Paper Doily, which worked well for softening all the square lines. Added the sentiment and......done! I really liked the results of my 5" x 5" card. It was fun being able to use all 5 of the new In Colors. Hope you like it too.
You still have until July 24th to join the fun at our CAS Mix UP July Challenge. Happy Stamping!

Thank you for visiting and especially for commenting...always appreciated my friends. hugs.....
Beautiful bouquet of blooms Nancy. Great colouring and love the mix of colours. The blingy centers add sparkle and dimension. Great job with the frame. I thought you used card stock, but now you coloured with markers ... so cool. Love the sanded bits to give it little distressing. The doily is a nice touch. xx
