Snowflake Border Oops

I made this card for the Memory Box Outside the Box Challenge.

When I went in to get the link I realized I had not followed the challenge.

Oops!

So I used the same idea and did this.

Now it will work at Memory Box Outside the Box Challenge.

I can't believe I missed that very important part of the challenge!

All is well because I changed the sentiment and I can share this with 

Marcia's Merry Monday Challenge too.

Do check out the wonderful inspiration from the DT and galleries at both challenges!

Those snowflakes sparkle IRL.  Couldn't get the camera to see it.

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Dazzling Snowflake for CAS Watercolour

It's time for another challenge at CAS Watercolour.

This month our challenge is

I pulled out my big Dazzling Snowflake stamp, stamped it with Whisper White Craft ink
on Mixed Media paper and heat embossed.

Then I sprinkled some Brusho crystals on it and spritzed with water.
I kept sprinkling more and spritzing until I was happy with the contrast.

A sentiment stamped and heat embossed on vellum and a few sequins finished it off.

I can't wait to see all the beautiful snowflake creations at CAS Watercolour this month.
I hope yours will be among them!

Bejeweled for CAS Mix Up

Time for another challenge at CAS Mix Up!

This month I am the hostess and this is what I chose

We are defining liquid color as any color medium that comes in liquid form.  
It can be Alcohol inks, Re-inkers, Stains, Paints, Sprays, etc.

I used Distress stains.  I hadn't worked with them before and it was fun to experiment on different papers and with different colors.

For this card, with the stamp in my MISTI, I daubed Picked Raspberry on the flowers and stamped.  I moved the color around a bit with my waterbrush and stamped again.  The stamp was still quite wet so I got another good inking.

I moved the color a bit more with my waterbrush then did some thumping with the Picked Raspberry Distress Marker on the still damp flowers and stamped that.

Then I repeated the process with Peeled Paint Distress Stain on the leaves and stems.  I didn't do any thumping on this part though.

I felt that the flowers needed a little more contrast so I put a drop of white acrylic paint on my palette and diluted it with a bit of water to brush lightly on some of the petals.

I die cut a double stitched circle for an aperture and used embossing paste and a small flourish stencil that Loll had cut with her Silhouette.

My mixed media are Stamping, Distress Stains, Acrylic Paint, Die Cutting, and Embossing Paste with Stencil.

The rest of the Design Team has some outstanding designs to inspire you and we have a very talented Guest Designer too.

There are videos at CAS Mix Up to give you some more ideas.

Hope we see you over at CAS Mix Up!
