A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

CAS Mix Up Liquid Colours

Welcome to the first CAS Mix Up challenge of 2017!  We are challenging you this month to use "liquid colours" on your card:

I chose alcohol inks for my card:


I chose alcohol inks as my liquid colours (using Loll's "Alcohol Inks with Yupo" technique - see her video here for details).  My sentiment is stamped and my choice of other element is die cutting.

I used a new die I just purchased and added a sentiment - definitely a Clean and Simple card!

Head on over to CAS Mix Up for inspiration from the rest of the Design Team and our Guest Designer, Trina.  You have until January 24th to enter.  Please remember to keep your cards clean and simple, and include liquid colours, stamping, and something from the list of choices given over at CAS Mix Up.





Supplies:
Stamps -  A Muse sentiment
Ink - Memory Box Cottage Ivy, various alcohol inks
Paper - white cs, Yupo
Size - A2
Accessories - Memory Box trees in a stitched rectangle die

    This is such a gorgeous card Susan ... even better in real life. Thank you! I LOVE your beautiful alcohol ink background. Really shows off with the white die-cuts. I'm going to have to add this die-cut to my wish list! :) xx

    Another AI beauty. Love the bright colours and this works great as a gender-neutral card. Now I definitely have to try these AI techniques sooner than later.

    This is truly a stunning background for those white fur trees. What a perfect combo of colours, fits the wintery mood of this gorgeous CAS card.
