Add some corrugated cardboard to your CAS design, include stamping and then pick a third element from the list on the sidebar of the challenge blog. It's lots of fun!!
My CAS Mix Up card has corrugated cardboard, stamping, smooshing with liquid concentrate watercolours, heat embossing, and watercolouring with distress inks (flower and leaves).
I used a piece of smooshed, watercolour background for my heart. It was a leftover piece from THIS CARD. Always great to keep pieces on hand, even small ones (this is 2 1/4" x 2").
