Bonjour






I am super excited to be posting today as Guest Designer for the September 2019 CAS Mix Up Challenge where the theme is "inchies". Click HERE for full challenge details. I am absolutely honored to be designing along with these incredibly talented artists.

For my card, I decided to use the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Duo 3 Die as the apertures measure 1" square.  I found the perfect stamps in my stash from way back - an Impression Obsession set that doesn't even have a name on it. There are 8 images that are all 1" square. I inked four of them with various PTI inks, and stamped them on the 1" square die cuts. I inlaid them in the negative spaces of the PPP die.

I positioned the "bonjour" sentiment from Heffy Doodle's Hello Everyone set onto the Stitched Duo 3 die cut and stamped it using my MISTI. I removed the die cut, placed the card base in my MISTI positioning it so that the sentiment would be where I wanted it and stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink. I then applied foam tape to the back of the die cut and adhered it to the card base matching the two stamped sentiments together. This achieved the effect of the sentiment going over the edge of the die cut, with the placement making the sentiment look continuous.

Please head over to the CAS Mix Up blog and check out the awesome creations that the Design Team has made for your inspiration.
