Hi everyone. Welcome to July's Challenge at CAS Mix Up! We are having so much fun at CAS Mix Up! We really enjoy your creations. Last month we had awesome entries for the Die Cutting challenge. Click HERE to see our June Challenge Pinterest Board ... lots of amazing inspiration!
Speaking of amazing entries ... click HERE to check out our "Pick of the Month" and to see some of the Outstanding Designs we've highlighted from June's challenge.
On to July's challenge ...
This month we want you to use markers on your cards. First, make sure your card is CAS ("Clean And Simple"). Include some stamping (a little or a lot), some kind of marker technique, and then pick something from the "Your Choice" list in the right sidebar to add in.
There are so many fantastic markers available that you can use to add color to your card. There are lots of water based markers including Distress Markers, Tombow, Stampin' Up!, and Zigs. There are also alcohol markers that give a whole different look than the water based.
And we are excited to have Colleen (One Smile Lifts a Spirit) as our Guest Designer this month. Colleen made a stunning card which was our "Pick of the Month" for May. Click HERE to see her card from the heat embossing challenge.
Now here are our cards using markers. We hope they will inspire you.
