CAS Mix UP Challenge

Hi there,

I've been entranced with the colored pencil on dark paper cards I've seen around blog land and most recently here at Betty's blog.  This card is for CAS Mix Up Challenge, a cas card with three elements.

 

My image and sentiment are both stamped and heat embossed, and my third element is the stitching around the main panel.  This was such fun I ended up with 3 cards, the blue and white are my favorites. I used silver ep for the white, gold for the red, and platinum for the blue.



Thanks so much for stopping by!
