Hi there. Just popping in to remind you about this month's CAS Mix Up Challenge.
It's a Stencil Challenge this month. Nancy is our host and the prompt is 'Rainbow Ink Blending or Colours'. There are some links to videos on our blog. Please be sure and keep your card designs Clean and Simple.
I made my own stencil with Penny Black balloon die and Yupo. I then stencilled and blended the balloons with Distress Inks. I hand drew the strings and stamped the bows and sentiment.
I have another card to share which was not quite CAS enough to use for CAS Mix Up.
I layered 2 sheets of vellum with different patterns on each.
The butterfly die is from Waffle Flower.
We have the Uber talented Michelle, from 'I Card Everyone' joining us as Guest Designer this month. You can see Michelle's card and more from our fabulous DT at the CAS Mix Up blog.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog! I love to read your comments:)
Those balloons are great and I love the little bows you have added to them. I am glad I am not the only one that makes a card and then rejects it. I seem to be doing it every month. Never mind it all adds to the joy of card making. I like the fact you have used 2 very different stencils on your second card xx
ReplyDelete2 great cards Jenny! x
ReplyDeleteWonderful, festive celebration card. Balloons are always so versatile for special events and your's are ideally rainbow blended.
ReplyDeleteLove your stenciled balloons, Jenny! They are so bright and festive! The stenciled background on the second card is a wonderful place for this pretty butterfly to perch!
ReplyDeleteAll these great ideas... the rainbow balloons make a festive birthday card. Your second card is super pretty, and I really love the sentiment!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rainbow watercolored floating balloons made with your homemade stencil, my friend. TFS the 2nd incredible rainbow colors stenciled on vellum...and 2 layers no less..wow! A very creative mixed media design, Jenny. TFS Love and Hugs...Nancy

Thanks again, Jenny for inviting me to play cards with you, and your fabulous CAS team! It's always so fun, and I learn so much from each of you!
ReplyDeleteI love both of your cards - layering that vellum is genius, btw! I would love a bunch of heart-shaped balloons on my birthday - what a fun rainbow those would be to see floating in the sky! xx
