I chose 'ACRYLIC PAINT' as our theme and we've all been having fun getting messy!
There are so many types of Acrylic paint, so here is a link to explain a bit about their applications.
If you don't have any acrylic paint, you could use a paint pen and remember Tim Holtz Distress Paints too.
I've provided some other links to give you ideas at the CAS MIX UP blog
CAS Mix Up are also celebrating our 4th Birthday this month, so we have 2 prizes up for grabs.
This card was so easy to create. I used a stencil and a sponge and began with the citron coloured paint. When it was completely dry, I sponged the black layer, moving the stencil to a different position.
I love how this turned out and the feel of the the acrylic paint.
I hope you'll join us in this fun challenge and visit our blog to get inspiration from our Design team and fabulous Guest Designer, Betty from Created by BJK.

We asking you to use green or rainbow or Irish related this month, so I've used multiple shades of green on my card.
I used Zig Markers and spritzing to stamp the leaves and blended with a damp brush. The leaf stamps are from Wplus9 and the sentiment from Penny Black.
I hope you visit our blog to see what Hannelie, our uber talented Guest Designer and the rest of the team have created and you can join in the challenge.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog! I love to read your comments:)
