CAS Mix Up Entry #2

While I have my watercolors out, I decided to do one more CAS Mix Up card. Again, I used distress ink to watercolor the background, and I stamped both the sentiment and the penguins. I colored the penguins with Copic markers and used a die to cut them out. Then I added a touch of Wink of Stella to the bow ties and glossy accents to the eyes. I attached the penguins with mounting tape. I sprayed the whole piece with a light spray of Shimmer Spritz just to give it a little bit of sparkle. And that's it! So now I'm ready to add my 2nd entry to the CAS Mix Up March Challenge.

CAS Mix Up Card Challenge

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I've posted to my blog. It's been a crazy year but really I have no excuses because I've certainly done a ton of cards, scrapbooking, and craft projects.  So this new challenge has motivated me to get busy and post my entry. I have fallen in love with water-coloring on my cards and am always looking for tutorials on new techniques. This water color resist technique was featured on StampTV. 
I used distress inks instead of markers and a little different stamping technique, but still incorporated the embossing, water-coloring, splattering ideas. It was so fun to do. Now I am ready to try it with some different images!!
I am entering this CAS card (Clean and Simple)  into the CAS Mix Up March Challenge using the required water-coloring and stamping techniques as well as the embossing and splattering. Thanks for looking!
