Time has gotten away from me...mostly because of the vampire hours I keep I suppose. I really wanted to play in both the CAS Mix Up Challenge and the CAS Stencil Challenge. I was kinda bummed tonight as I was going to delete them from my list...but Yahoo thanks to the time zones I still had a couple of hours. I apologize to the DT's and coordinator of each challenge for the very late entries.
So here we go, one thank you card for each challenge because my stash is low and I am luckily suddenly in need of several.
My choices were Stamping my sentiment with Alcohol Lift pad and a stacked die cut.
I use a small dauber that I repeatedly pounced on the alcohol lift pad and then into the open stencil areas. This stencil is from Hero Arts. This panel is a combination of regular AI and AI pearl inks.
This one also goes to CAS on Friday-Stencil.
Thanks so very much for visiting.

Beautiful colours of alcohol inks on your first eye catching card. I would never have thought to try a sentiment stamp with the lift technique and wow has it worked beautifully. The crisp white die cut finishes off your card to perfection. Such a unique and artsy second card which looks amazing. Yes where does time go?....so glad you managed to join in The CAS Mix Up Challenge with your beautiful card Cat x
Fabulous cards .... never thought to use a sentiment with the Alcohol Lift technique, I'll be trying that. Thank you for playing along with the CAS Stencil challenge xx
What pretty backgrounds, Cat! Love the bold colors with the subtle lift and white die cut flowers! It has such a happy feel. The combination of regular and pearl inks are lovely and I love the cool serene feel of that card! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! Glad you made it in under the wire!
Love the bold vibrancy of that first card, Cat ... the delicate white daisies are so pretty against the colourful AI ... and the stencil lifted bloom is positively dreamy! Hugs, Anita :)
love your AI backgrounds, Cat - wonderful colors and designs - both cards are so pretty
Gosh, these are beautiful! One very colorful, all popping on the black, and one dreamy blue on white. So lovely! Vampire hours... Sadly, if I don't craft in the morning it won't get done. Pooped out by the end of the day!
Two beautiful designs using the alcohol lift Cat! I love the soft blue on your 2nd one! thanks for sharing with us at CAS Stencil! xx
Well I'm bummed enough for both of us that I wasn't able to play along this month with any of the CAS challenges... boo hoo.
Your cards are gorgeous, Cat...

Beautiful cards, Cat! While both are gorgeous, I'm loving the stencil/effect on the second card!
Both cards are beautiful, Cat! The lifted sentiment looks so cool against the beautiful alcohol ink background.
And I love the bright colors against the dark card base. The white die-cut flowers are so pretty.
The stenciled card is dreamy and artsy, and it must be more shimmery in real life.
I’m so glad you made it and shared the AI lift card with us at CAS Mix Up! Thank you so much!

I am very glad you realised that you hadn't missed the deadline as these cards are so goo. I especially like the vibrancy of the pink and purple AI with the contrast of a black base and white die cut. it works perfectly xx
Two beautiful lifted alcohol ink cards Cat! So happy you were able to make them in time to join us! Gorgeous, bold, summery colours for your first card, which looks wonderful against the gray card. Your lifted stenciled image on the blue is so pretty!! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up and CAS Stencil!
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous - says it all, love this Cat and thanks for sharing with CAS Stencil, Robyn
Love both of these Cat, such a clever idea to lift the sentiment and my favourite all time flower die looks fantastic on that colourful panel! The stencilled lift card is really pretty, glad you were able to play along at CAS Stencil, Cathy x
2 wonderful cards, Cat! I would never have tried used the lift pad with a sentiment, but yours worked perfectly! I really am drawn to the second card & maybe now I'll open my lift pad!
Beautiful card, Cat. I like the bold colours. Thank you for joining us at CAS on Friday. Luv, Wilma
