CAS MIX UP...Yes, It's Back

 Hi there Crafty Friends! I'm  excited to let you know that Loll Thompson has resurrected CAS Mix Up Challenge after a 4 year break and I'm so happy to be back on the team. 

It will be a monthly challenge, starting on the 3rd of the month. There will be a rotation of techniques - Mixed Media,(must include stamping), Stencil, Watercolour. This is a Clean & Simple challenge, so remember to keep your cards CAS. 

So today we begin the  challenge with Mixed Media. Loll is our Host and she has chosen 'Eclipse' as the theme. 

Stamping, Die-cutting, Karin Markers, Sequins

I used a new to me die from Craft Addiction UK and a Penny Black stamp to create my Eclipse card. I figured it would be easier to get 2 identical images by using a Brushstroke stamp and it definitely did. 

Stamps:  Penny Black 'The Unfolding'
Dies: Craft Addiction UK  Stitched Lattice Circles; Altenew Sweet Sentiments



There are links to some videos on the CAS Mix Up blog, which explain how to do this technique. 

Our Design Team have
some wonderful inspiration for you.
