Hello friends and welcome!
Today is a reminder that there's still time to play at CAS Mix Up.
I've had such fun smooshing different color media this month!
This time it was alcohol ink.
Loll has done a fantastic tutorial on alcohol ink smooshing.
I squirted some drops of green alcohol inks and copper mixative
on a piece of aluminum foil, added blending solution and
smooshed a piece of Yupo paper into it.
After it dried, I sprayed some more blending solution (just a little)
to get a little more pattern going.
The die is 2 layers at the top and a 3rd at the bottom to add body to the foil cardstock.
Our CAS Mix Up Challenge is
I used alcohol ink smooshing, stamping, heat embossing and die cuts.
Don't forget that we are celebrating our First Birthday
and we have prizes!
We also have some wonderful inspiration from our Design Team
and Guest Designer, Marcia!
And the gallery has some awesome entries too!
The challenge is open until the 24th.
I can't wait to see what and how you smoosh on your Clean and Simple Cards!
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!
