Another Ghosted Card and Design Team Call

Do you like to use Mixed Media on your cards?

Do you enjoy making CAS (Clean and Simple) cards?

We're having a Design Team Call at

CAS Mix Up

It's open until October 15th.

If you're interested, just add DT beside your name 

when you add a card to the gallery.

This month we're using the Ghosted Technique on our cards.

I used Stamping, Ghosting, Brusho Background, Dry Embossing and a Die Cut

I sprinkled some green Brusho crystals on a piece of mixed media paper and spritzed with water.

I love the speckles of blue that show in the green!

I used a dark blue ink for the sentiment to accentuate those speckles.

When it was dry, I spritzed water on a stencil and laid it on top.

After a few seconds I removed the stencil and blotted with a paper towel.

I love how it leaves a subtle pattern in the background!

Here's some links for the ghosting technique.
