CAS Mix Up - Oct '26 - Mixed Media

 It's time for another challenge at CAS Mix Up and this month it's a Mixed Media Challenge. Linda is our host and the theme is 'BLACKOUT TECHNIQUE'. 

We have videos to show you how to use this fun technique over at the CAS Mix Up blog.

This technique can give you quite a grungy look, depending on the Embossing Folder and the method  used.

I swiped the ink pad over the de-bossed panel. I'm not sure how it would have turned out if I'd used a brayer. I think the grunge suits the Autumn leaves and I've splattered some gold paint to bighten things a bit. 

Our wonderful Guest Designer, Darnell and the rest of the Team have

some fabulous inspiration for you.

I hope you'll check us out and join in at

CAS Mix Up Challenge.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge OCT '26

 Hey there Crafty Friends! It's the first Saturday of the month, so we have a new Penny Black Saturday Challenge up on the blog. 

Our theme this month is 'ANYTHING GOES or the optional twist 'Use Bright Colours'.

I used the gorgeous floral bouquet from

Penny Black Perch Stamp Set

I used Baohong Watercolour Paper and Altenew Watercolour Paints To colour the image.

I mounted the diecut bouquet on Black Card to make the colours pop and added a white splatter and stamped sentiment. 

You can see more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team at our blog. 

I hope you have the opportunity to join in our challenge.
