Cling Wrap Background

It's January 1st, the start of the New Year and the start of a new CAS Mix Up challenge.  You'd all think it was time to be done with Christmas cards, but sorry, my example for the Design Team is yet another Christmas card!  Hopefully you're all still in the holiday mood and won't mind!

The challenge this month is "Cling Wrap".

I went with a technique that uses Brushos, spray starch, and cling wrap to create my background for this card.

I started by spraying a piece of mixed media paper with spray starch.  Then I sprinkled with a couple of shades of blue Brushos.  I scrunched a piece of cling wrap over the top and left it to dry for a few hours.

I got the most beautiful background that seemed perfect for a winter sky behind my reindeer die cut.

The sentiment is stamped and heat embossed, and the panel die cut with a stitched square and then popped up on fun foam.


There  are several videos to give you ideas over on the CAS Mix Up blog, as well as cards by the rest of the Design Team and our wonderful Guest Designer, Christine of It's a Card Day's Night.  The challenge is open until January 24th.

Please remember to keep your card clean and simple, and include some stamping, a technique that uses cling wrap, and at least one other thing from the list on the right hand side of CAS Mix Up.  I have Brushos and die cutting.

And best wishes for 2018 to all my followers!
