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
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.

This really is gorgeous. The shade of green is striking with the subtle ghosting over the top. Hugs Mrs A.

Great job with ghosting Bonnie. LOVE the vibrant colours of your brushos background paired with the beautiful white die-cut fern. And love the subtle pattern of the ghosted stenciling in the background. xx

I love that hint of a pattern in your background, Bonnie. I still have not tried that. The white die cut provides such a wonderful contrast. This is so striking!

I love the contrast of the bright green and white, Bonnie. The ghosting adds another element to put your card over the top.

Your ghosting background on this card is gorgeous, Bonnie! Don't you just love Brushos? It's so striking with the white fern die cut, and your embossed border is the perfect touch! A really beautiful Christmas card!!!
