When I saw the inspiration over at the Tag You're It challenge, I knew I wanted to combine this challenge with the current challenge over at CAS Mix Up. I used stencilling (Prima), stamping (PTI), ink blending (Hero Arts), die cutting (Lil' Inker), vellum, texture paste (Ranger) and heat embossing (Ranger Detail gold). So many products and techniques, and I still managed to keep my design CAS lol.
When I was trying to determine how to place my stencil over my card base, I thought those large triangles at the bottom were perfect to stress the sentiment, so I added some texture paste through the stencil to accent the 2 triangles on the right, sprinkled with embossing powder and heat embossed after approximately 20 minutes. Because the embossing paste was still a little wet underneath, it puffed up, giving some wonderful texture. Call it beginner's luck...
With its uplifting sentiment, this card also fits the friend theme at Virginia's View link-up party, and the butterfly fits the theme of the very first challenge at Create With Stamps (my second entry).
Gorgeous CAS mixed media card Marianne. Yes, lots going on, but a perfectly CAS design. :) LOVE the stenciled triangle background mimicking the beautiful colours of your tag. The gold embossed triangles add sparkle and texture and tie in the your pretty gold embossed butterfly. Awesome design!! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! xx
