It's time for a new challenge at CAS Mix Up.
We'll be cutting all our CAS Challenges short this month. More on that later.
I thought I'd take a break from Christmas cards today.
I stamped this dandelion with whisper white ink on
mixed media paper and heat embossed it.
Then I sprinkled some Brushos on it and spritzed.
To get a good coverage and blending, I used a water brush.
When it was dry, I die cut it, and placed it on a card base
that had been embossed with a larger matching die.
This inspirational sentiment and butterfly in black
added a little drama.
For my mixed media I used
stamping, heat embossing, Brusho, watercolor, dry embossing and die cuts.
This month's challenge will only run for two weeks. The challenge closes on December 15th midnight (PST).
Our Friend Hideko has joined the CAS Mix Up Design team.
We're so happy to have her there!
Another friend, Bozena (ArtCardBox) is joining
our team this month as Guest Designer.
Hope you get to join us.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Such pretty colours on your gorgeous brusho background and love the white heat embossing of that pretty dandelion stamped image. The pop of black from the die cut butterfly and the lovely sentiment looks fabulous. Such a pretty card Bonnie x.

Such a lovely background.
Stunning card Bonnie, and I am now going to have to try and capture one of those beautiful butterflies! It's so striking against the gorgeous background, Cathy x
Lovely card Bonnie. I like your brusho background a the beautiful sentiment that offset a super butterfly.!
Oh, I LOVE the wonderful contrast, Bonnie! Your dandelion Emboss Resist background is so soft and feminine, and the black die-cut butterfly is simply dramatic and striking. The black flowing sentiment works as a beautiful connector. Thank you so much for your welcoming words for me!
Thank you also for your hard work on the CAS challenges and all the inspiration this year. So happy to be on your team again next year!

p.s. I started wondering how many butterfly dies you have! ;-)
WOW! This one is so striking! I love the use of black against a colorful background as well as the wonderful sentiment. I have a hunch I'll be adding to my wish list again! This is fabulous, Bonnie!
Caught up. Love that sentiment and it balances out the butterfly on the brightly colored background.

Gorgeous card Bonnie. The design of the emboss resist is so delicate and pretty with the white embossing. The pretty pink and yellow really bring the background to life and your black butterfly and beautiful sentiment add some wonderful contrast. This card makes me feel good! xx
Fantastic background for your pretty butterfly, Bonnie!
Bonnie, this is such a beautiful background for your butterfly. I love the white embossed image and then the pop of black:)
Adore that punch of black against that pastel background. The dandelion is subtle enough to be seen and adds life to this BG.
