CAS Mix Up (W) Off the Edge

Time for the CAS Mix Up Watercolor Challenge: Off the Edge.. hosted by the  
very talented,  Bonnie.  We are very happy to have the awesome CAS designer, 
Michele as our Guest Designer this month.

You are going to be so inspired by our CAS Mix Up Design Team too!


Here is my Off the Edge card..Enjoy

This is a card I made recently for a dear friend,  who has been on my mind!
It seems we all need thinking of you cards often this year.
I was so pleased to use Bonnie's CAS Mix Up "Off the Edge (W)" Challenge.

I used SU "Forever Fern" stamp set to stamp off the edge of SU 100# CS.
I used Distress Oxide Inks: Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade, and
Abandoned Coral.  I love Fall colors.

I  used my MISTI to ink, spritz with water and then stamp the ferns onto 
the 100# cardstock and then moved the ink around with a water brush.
Let each leaf image dry completely before stamping a new leaf image.

Then stamped STAMPlorations "Trendy Feathers" sentiment in MISTI using
Distress Oxide Vintage Photo and then heat embossed with SU 
Clear EB Powder.

Next I die cut card front with Reverse Confetti,  "Lacy Scallop Frame" Confetti
Die.  Then I used the splatter stamp from the "Forever Fern" stamp set
to add splatters with the DOX inks I had used on the leaves.

Attached cardfront to the SU 100# card base and Done!
I was very happy with the Fall colored Off the Edge results.

We would love if you joined us.  
You still have until the 24th to play along.  Love and Hugs..

  1. Wonderful colours and really great use of the splatters to add interest in the white space without subtracting from those gorgeous ferns. Love that frame die too xx

  3. Oh, my! I bought this set and haven't used it yet. Now you've got me all excited about it again. It's so pretty with the inking you did, and I love these colors in particular. I forgot there's a splatter stamp in the set, sheesh. Love the sentiment with it. Your card is going to be very much appreciated.
