Time for the reminder post for the CAS Mix Up Challenge
Fabulous inspiration in the gallery......
Such creative cards from the wonderful design team
and our guest designer Susan from The catsinkcorporated.
Pop across and take a look.....
This is my card......
I have coloured my die cuts with lots of different colours of Lindy Magicals and water.
I have stamped the sentiments and my choice is free hand drawing and water colouring.
You can see the shimmer of the Lindy Magicals in this picture.
I love how you get unpredictable colours.
Even though the die cuts are small I kept going until I got an artsy and wild looking effect.
The stems have been drawn in with a dipping pen and distress stains.
The sentiments have been stamped with the help of the Misti.
I die cut the poppies and then snipped the heads to use as I wanted
and individually coloured the small die cuts.
I have a designer paper that gave me the inspiration for the layout of my card,
as of course I am never going to cut it up x.
Thank you for stopping by
and I am looking forward to seeing your fabulous creations in the gallery.
Challenges I would love to enter....

This looks very like s Memory Box Poppy die that I have, but I would never have thought to chop the heads off and do this with them Mac. The drawn stems with the sentiments vertically up some of the stems looks great. A really pretty effect. x
Love your poppies! Breathtaking card!

Mac, this is stunning. I love the softness of the flowers and the vertical sentiments. There is such a feeling of whimsy about the arrangement. Absolutely gorgeous!

Really lovely. The way you did the stems with the sentiments is a great idea and one I'd like to try. I hope you don't mind I've pinned the photo for inspiration.
Absolutely Magical shimmery poppy flowers using your Magicals, Mac. TFS the photo of your die cut set (Memory Box?) and photo of your individual poppy blooms. I clicked on both to get a much larger picture. I could really see the pretty shimmer on your flowers and the different colors. Such a creative CAS flower design by drawing your stems and added a few stamped sentiments. Wow! Hugs..
Mac, the little sentiments hidden in your flower garden are just the best. Very pretty flowers!
Do you hoard designer paper too, Mac? LOL! When you can come up with designs like this, you don't need designer paper, my friend! Gorgeous flowers and their stems are awesome!
Such a great minimalist look to your design Mac! Love the tall stems - some with sentiments and the beautifully colored flowers teetering on top of them! Frame this up and hang it on your wall!! Julia xx
Such a pretty card Mac, the colours are stunning, must check out these magicals! I laughed when I read you weren't going to chop up your dp, I have a pile of "precious" papers too that i just look at now and then lol! Love your artsy stems too, such a creative design, Cathy x
I'm sooooooooooo glad you showed us the colours you used with those 'Magicals' I know I NEED more. Of course how clever you are to chop the heads of the poppies. I would never think of that. Thanks for enabling here M. Love the wiggly stems and sentiments. Certainly CAS but oh so stunning. Pure magic my friend.
Your Lindy Magicals colored poppies are so shimmery and pretty, Mac! The blend of the colors is beautiful! And It's a wonderful idea to hand-draw the stems and add the sentiments to them. What I most love about this card is the placement of the flowers. It's so pleasing to the eye. Hideko xx
Your card is so unique and artsy, Mac. LOVE the colours of your mix of magicals for those beautiful poppy heads. And such a clever and creative design stamping the sentiment in the middle of some of your hand-drawn stems. Awesome!! xx
Love this, so brilliant and as I have this die, I must say it's stunning..xx
Oh my goodness Mac - this is simply beautiful. This is one of my favourite dies (that actually does get used) and you have presented it so well here. I love it! x
PS - For some reason you are not showing on my reading list so am hoping that I have fixed that little problem.... and am now off to look at the offering below... !
This looks amazing Mac, I love how the sentiments form part of the stems, very clever. Thank you for playing along with the Craft Stamper challenge xx
I love your shimmering and shining poppies. I love to paint created a visible flakes, I was sure that this was the desired effect with a brush ... Great flowers. And I love your little word hooked to the stems. WOW! This is amazing!

I'm in love with this card!! Such beautiful shades of pink and the shimmer must be wonderful in real life. The way you did the sentiments with the hand-drawn stems is fabulous.
I'm drooling, you get the most fabulous finishes with your products, this is an amazing card.

Wow Mac, I love this card! How clever to cut the blooms off and just use them. I love the sentiments in the stems and speaking of the stems, wow, you hand drew them?! I love them!!! They give such character to those beautifully colored blooms! You are indeed a very talented person! Hugs, Brenda
Your card is just magical! Fun to look at AND I love the colors.
Such an amazing card, thanks for sharing!
You shimmering flowers are gorgeous! Gotta get me some Lindy Magicals... I especially love how the sentiments are part of the stems!
Mac I love the way you used the die cut. The hand drawn stems are so clever, and I love the magicals I bet they are so shimmery :)
Wow - what a way to use the die... that sits in my drawer and never gets dismembered!! Thanks for the inspiration with this amazing card Mac
Blessings

This is gorgeous. I love the beautiful poppies. Great job.
Fabulous technique Mable the poppies are just so pretty.

Wonderful card--love those beautiful flowers & the unique stems! Another amazing creation, Mac!
This field of poppies are magical in themselves, Mac. Love the whole concept of your stems, so brilliant. Another stunner, beautiful! xx
What beautiful poppies and such a terrific design Mac... Love this!
What an absolute joy, Mac ... these delicate, shimmery, sentiment-stemmed poppies are simply beautiful ... love this design! Hugs, Anita :)
So pretty, Mac. Those Magicals are gorgeous... love the shimmer they give. Your drawn stems are so fun and creative. xx
How very clever of you Mac to use just the heads of the die cuts and to use them in this way. I love the way that you’ve used the words through the stems of the Poppies and your layout is superb. I really admire the way that you think out of the box to inspire us all, thank you. Crafty hugs, Sandra x
Well, you know, Mac, I really should lecture you about not hoarding your DSP, but when you can make your own gorgeous colored patterns, you don't need to use your beloved paper!! This is a brilliant work of art and I love it! Hugs, Darnell
Your flowers look absolutely amazing Mac! I love the swirls of colors and how you've made them stand out on your clean background! :) Beautifully done! HUGS
What a stunning CAS card! I love all the shimmery colours in the flower petals, Lindy's is awesome! Such a soft garden feel to this, but my favourite bit is the text you incorporated into the stems! Brilliant my friend!!
Apparently it's supposed to cool off and even rain next week. I sure hope they're right about that, we could really use a break from the crazy!! lol. Have a wonderful weekend! hugs :)
This is absolutely beautiful. The colors, the flowers and the design. I am in awe.
This is just gorgeous - so very CAS - love the words on the stems.
Such a clever card again Mac! love your pretty poppies and how you have placed them with the words like that too ;) Viv xx
Certainly can see the glimmer & shimmer on these Lindy colored poppies. That was a brilliant design idea to use your DP as a jump off, and I liked that you used part of teh die and hand drew - very artistic and so pretty as well! TFS & Hugs
I am in love with this FABULOUS card, Mac. I love the free hand drawing and this is a great idea. Hugs, my friend.
