There's still some time to join in at CAS Mix Up.
This month we are using stencils and our host Viv challenged us to do...
I used a mask off a rectangle on a card front and sponged Twisted Citron ink
lightly inside the mask.
Then I laid a Tim Holtz mini stencil on top and sponged again.
So easy and it makes a fantastic background.
I watercolored a die cut pine bough and layered it over a die cut branch
with some Nuvo berries all tied up with a bow. (Actually the bow is glued on.)
Check out all the inspiration at the challenge site. You'll be glad you did.
Hope you'll join us at CAS Mix Up.
Challenge ends on the 24th.
