CAS Mix-Up...Inky Flowers..

Hey,

Whilst I was looking at some blogs the other day, I stumbled across a link to CAS Mix-up.

I really like the idea and the January challenge was very appealing -

I chose to use alcohol inks as my liquid colour. I like working with alcohol inks, you can create such random shapes and patterns.

I decided I wanted flowers this time and these were really simple to do and I made a few variations, but this version was my fave.

All you have to do is take a piece of glossy photo paper, drop your ink on and blow on it through a straw to spread the colour. Simple.

I added the stamping with my sentiment (by Scraptastic Club) and in the flower centres (by Concord & 9th).

My choice element was the little black pearls to finish off the flowers.

I die-cut both panels using MFT stitched rectangle dies and I love how the small purple border makes the flowers pop.

I am hoping I followed the rules correctly and that my alcohol inks count as an 'art product' for the mixed media part of the challenge, no matter, I still love it and there's always the Feb challenge to master the rules LOL.

Daschund through the snow....

Hey,

Happy Sunday to you.

I am excited as always now that it is Football (NFL) season, I will be spending most of the day watching NFL games with Hubby.

It is also 1 week until my Poppa arrives - CAN NOT believe he is coming...

I made this card last week on the playdate with JT, but felt it needed it's own post :)

The idea for this card came to me on my lounger in Mexico. I love it..good things do come from laying around in the sunshine.

I used 3 stamps - Daschund from Scraptastic Club, Sentiment from set of the same name by Avery Elle and the antlers were a freebie with a magazine in December last year.

I kept it all super simple. I'd love to make more of these, but all the stamping. ugh.

Not ideal for Christmas.

I might try setting up all 3 stamps on my MISTI and see if that works.
