Hi everyone. Today I'm sharing a CAS Mixed Media card. I started by using a background that's been in my stash for a long time. The background is coloured using blue powdered inks. Once dry, I placed a flourish stencil over top and used glitter paste to fill in the design. It's so pretty in real life ... but glitter is almost impossible to photograph.
I added a die-cut Iris, that is watercoloured using Distress Inks. A simple rectangle frame was popped up over top with the sentiment stamped in purple ink.
