CAS Mix Up June

I'm thrilled to be making a guest appearance at the CAS Mix Up challenge this month after having been selected as the top pick for the April challenge with this card. For the month of June, we have the following fun challenge for you:


And here is my card:


I started by die cutting my panel with the journaling card die (Concentric Circles Dies, Neat & Tangled) and repeatedly stamping the Script stamp (Kaiserkraft) in archival ink, before applying texture paste (Ranger) through a flower stencil that came as a free gift with a UK crafting magazine. While the texture paste was still wet, I sprinkled fine glitter (local bargain store) on top. I adhered my panel and the sentiment strip with foam tape for some added dimension.

I hope my card is inspiring you to play along. Please visit the CAS Mix Up blog for all the details, plus more inspiration and a few links to some technique videos.

I'm also linking up my card at:
