November CAS Mix Up Challenge

Hi everyone.  Today is the start of the November CAS Mix Up Challenge, hosted by Jenny.  This month's challenge is to use stencils and powdered inks.  

I love this time of year, and wanted to make a fall card using my Magicals (powdered inks from Lindy's Stamp Gang).  They have a beautiful shimmer that you'll notice in the photos, especially the close-up.  I used Sunflowers stencil (Magenta), and magicals (Autumn Maple Crimson, Hag's Wart Orange, Witch's Potion Purple).  I just love this combination to make multicoloured sunflowers.  The stencil is a trio of sunflowers and I managed to make two CAS cards from the one mixed media panel of stenciling. :)

I used these fun double-stitched frames I bought many years ago from AliExpress.  I have used these frames A LOT.  They are perfect for framing up CAS designs.

I finished the card with a sentiment (Clearly Besotted - A Little Sentimental) stamped in Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink.
