Exciting News

I have exciting news to share.  My friend Loll (Stamping with Loll) and I are starting our own card challenge.

We have just launched the CAS Mix Up Card Challenge blog.  

Our very first monthly challenge will begin on March 1st.  YAY!

The challenge is CAS (clean and simple) designs with added mixed media products and techniques.    It's going to be a lot of fun.  :)

There will be three parts to every challenge:  

     1)  Stamping; 

     2) Required technique; and 

     3) Your Choice for a third element (product or technique).  

You can add a little or a lot of all three elements, and you can add even more if you want as long as you keep a CAS design.

We even have a list of techniques and products you can select from for the "Your Choice" option.  Or choose your own!

Here's a sample of a CAS Mix Up card......

I have used stamping (the sentiment), Heat Embossing (the sentiment), Dry Embossing,
 Die Cutting,  plus I used Inka Gold on the die cut dragonfly.

I've left lots of white space to let the main image shine (literally).

See how easy that is?  I've actually added 3 mixed media techniques/products

plus the stamping.

Loll and I hope you'll check out the CAS Mix Up blog 

to get more details on our new challenge. 

And we hope you'll come by again on March 1st to see the first challenge and play along.

Thanks for stopping by.

Enjoy!
