After winning The CAS Mix Up Challenge last month with this card
I was kindly invited to be Guest Designer this month...
Wow ....what an Amazing opportunity!
The CAS Mix Up Challenge offers tons of inspiration and new techniques to try.
CAS, Mixed Media and Techniques all on one card......Fabulous!
The Team are so friendly and helpful and I love entering the challenge because
of the mixed genre's and techniques x
The Challenge this month is Stamping + Ghosting + Your Choice
You will find links on their blog to try out different Ghosting techniques....
This is my card.....
I started with blending several colours of distress inks quite liberally onto the card.
I layered the flower stencil onto the background and used water to lift the colour
to produce a ghosting effect.
I used minimal water and a small sponge to lift the water to stop the water seeping underneath.
The flower was stamped over the ghosting effect, slightly off-set.
I used white gesso inside the stamped image and then painted with water- colours.
I have used black glossy embossing paste through the love sentiment stencil
and die cut the rectangle with a stitch die.
I finished with popping on a heart stencil and using a darker distress ink in the
bottom right hand corner.
Thank you so much for the opportunity of guesting with you this month.
I love your fun, creative, inspirational and informative challenge.
Thank you for finding time to stop by...

Amazing card Mac. Love the bright yellow and pink together. And the ghosting is so cool with the stamping over top ... just showing sort of a ghosting outline. Awesome design, my friend. Thanks so much for being our Guest Designer at CAS Mix Up this month!! xx
Hi Mac what gorgeous colours and I love the floral stamp, the ghosting technique is marvellous, must give it a go, beautifully designed.
Gongrats on your win and for being a very inspirational GDT. Pleased to hear you had a lovely holiday, Kate x
Absolutely Stunning ghosting card Mac. I loved reading all your details. Sponging your background then ghosting your stenciled flowers was such a creative way to start your watercolored off set stenciled flowers :-) TFS and joining us as our October Guest Designer on CAS Mix Up. Hugs, Nancy
The pleasure was all mine. Thank you so much for the wonderful opportunity...loved it! x

As always, you have come up with an amazing mixed media card, Mac! I love your ghosted flowers and how the ghosting seems to make the colors in the flowers even more vibrant! Thanks so much for joining our team this month at CAS Mix Up!
