CAS Mix Up Reminder

It's the Middle of the Month and Reminder Time

for the current challenge at CAS Mix Up Challenge.

Here is my card as December's Guest Designer.

You can find the Details Here

My Mix is *Stamping

*Embossing *Smooching

*Stenciling *Die cutting

I had a lot of fun with this card.  

Thought I would try something a little different

here and got out my neglected Gelatos. 

Unfortunately they don't have the colours

on them but have used just three adding a touch of Inka Gold.

Showing the shimmer from the Gelatos

I simply scribbled them onto water colour paper and then

smooched with a water pen till I got the result I liked.

I then got out my Lavinia Stamp and heat embossed in black.

Touched up the middle with the green gelato and a tiny bit of

 Inka Gold. Added some tiny circles from

Dutch Doobadoo Pop Art stencil with Tim's Black Soot

and added a few circles for contrast with a white uniball pen.

Sentiment is from 

STAMPlorations Fond Expressions 2 

and heat embossed.

This was then cut from a stitched die from MFT and popped.

The Most Wonderful Time...

G'Day Craft Friends - today's post is for our 

New Christmas Challenge over at Happy Little Stampers

This time round the Optional Twist is Silhouette! 

My card above is predominately using products you can

find (or win) over At Our Shop.

I recently bought more Brusho's to calm my addiction

and couldn't go past the 

Happy Little Stampers Christmas Joy Stamp Set 

which I knew was perfect to team together.

Now our Fabulous Leader Kylie has a video on a

Brusho background Here.

 I loved the effect she achieved and tried to copy the result.

I think I did okay!

I heat embossed the poinsettia flower on top of the Brusho's

then did another smooching it adding some shimmer 

with my Nuvo Pen then fussy cut and popped it.

Added the stitched circle of gold from MFT .

The sentiment and tiny star are also heat embossed.

Card base is Metallic Gold. It's been a while since I have

made a traditional coloured Christmas card 

so you will enjoy the change.

You see Christmas here in 'The Land Down Under' is HOT!

so cool colours are my go to!

We eat copious amounts of seafood and I love

to finish off with Pavlova! No Christmas Pudding for me.

Of course there is the chilled wine to go with it.

Sorry - got carried away here thinking of summer!

Don't forget - 

Our winner for this challenge will receive a $20 coupon to spend at the shop! 

Check out all the details HERE

Here are the products I used.

Thanks for peeking in today.

Of course you are now going to head off to see what my 

Team Mates created aren't you?

Then off to play with us for our October Christmas Challenge.

Hope to see you there.
