CAS Mix Up
Using stamping, canvas, cork, corrugated cardboard, Inca Gold, wire and micro-beads
This month Joanna (Jo-Jo's Spot) is our hostess.
I had some canvas that I'd been hoarding for ?*#!* years!
It has a backing on it so it can go through the printer.
I didn't trust my printer (the one I had then and the couple I've had since).
Hence the hoarding.
Thanks Joanna for the excuse to use this stash!
I stamped a sentiment on the canvas using an Archival ink.
I used my MISTI but it stamped well the first time.
I cut a piece of thin cork that had been given to me as a mat.
The heart was in my Valentine UFO box.
It was cut from corrugated cardboard. Then I used my finger to smoosh
some Inca Gold all over it.
In honor of Joanna, I even pulled out some wire and beads.
I love how she decorates her card with bits of wire and beads!

Love the script stamped on the canvas, Bonnie. Great with the cork mat. But that heart .. it steals the show. So beautiful with the bright satiny red and the texture from the corrugated card. Love your "jewelry" adornments. xx
OMG, Bonnie..you have been so inspired by Joanna's beautiful freestyle designs, including a bit of jewelry embellishments:-) I LOVE your corrugated textured rich red heart, wire and beads. Your canvas and cork framing added even more texture. All these beautiful mixed media elements with a Clean and Simple Style! Wow! TFS my friend. Hugs...

LOVE your corrugated heart too, and the addition of the wire and beads is just the topping on the cake! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! :0)
Bonnie I love it. It's a stunning piece of mixed media, you really covered all bases here and topped it with your little wire embellishment.
Another most beautiful card from you and this one is fantastic. So much texture and it blends together so well. The impact really is amazing. I love the subtle stamping and the gold wire and beads. Great card, Bonnie. I have been meaning to tell you I like your new picture.

You know, I've just gotten into the habit of taking a breath when I come here, cause I already know I'm gonna see something just fabulous. And I did! This beautiful card has so many extra special details, it's just so amazing. Love the wonderful blaze of the corrugated red heart, never worked with either the wire or canvas OR cork (got some cork though!) You've really scored with this gorgeous Valentine! TFS & Happy wkend.
This is absolutely my favourite ever of your cards, Bonnie - it is so beautiful, so perfect for the challenge, and such a wonderful example of CAS mixed media. I love the stamping on the canvas, the gorgeous corrugated heart, and the lovely embellishment of wire and beads.
