Playing in Challenges

I was finally inspired to join in a couple of challenges.  It seems like it has been forever since I joined in challenges.

I am entering this card in CAS Mix Up; color your die cuts, stamping, plus 1-  I used embossing.  I also liked the idea of the splash watercolor technique [go Loll!] over at the CAS Watercolor Challenge.

I started with my die cut, and pounced the shapes into watered down distress inks.

I used adhesive spray on the back of the image [so all those tiny pieces stay together]. I then stamped and embossed the sentiment from a Hero Arts set.  I'm kind of liking this CAS card. :)

Thanks Challenges!  I had fun.


Thanks for stopping by~
