CAS Mix up Challenge for September 2026

I recently entered a card in the CAS Mix Up Challenge, and I was absolutely thrilled 
when I found out that I won! 🎉 

Even better, I was invited to be a Guest Designer for September! 🥳

I can’t tell you how excited and honored I am to join this talented group of crafters. I’m looking forward to sharing some creativity, having lots of fun, and hopefully inspiring you along the way.

So, let’s get started and have some fun with it! ✂️💖🎨

Remember to keep it CAS ( Clean and Simple)

The challenge for September is Sunflower and Watercolor 

My proud badge for this month. 

Here is the card that I did for this month's challenge. 

A better view and the inside. 

Because I don't do watercolor often, I chose to clear emboss the image to help to keep the color inside the lines. It was a great help. First stamp in black and then used clear embossing power to heat set it. 

The image of the sunflower and the sentiment is from Gina K . (oldie but goodie)

It was called Stately Flowers 5.  I went right to it for this card. 

I used my Arteza pens in Bumblebee Yellow, Orange, Autumn Red, 

Crocodile Green and Green tea.

My Posca white pen was used for the white dots. 

The black border was Gina K Master Layouts 1

In the very bottom left corner, I used a stencil from my stash. 

HERE is where you can find the challenge.

Thanks for stopping by and I always appreciate your comments!
