Hello, there! It's time for a reminder that our CAS Mix Up Challenge - Alcohol Inks on Vellum is still in full swing till the 24th. Coni is our host this month and she has provided a full list of video links to help first timers like me. Cards only, keep it clean and simple, and enjoy the play!
Short on time, I used the same piece of alcohol-inked vellum as on my other Mix Up card, but it really is such a pretty piece. It's peeking through a border cut with one of my oldest dies -- Spellbinders A2 Curved Borders One. I still use that set frequently.
This card is a mini-slimline, measuring 3 1/2 x 6. The die cut "sending" was cut from a background made two years ago, part watercolor, part Ken Oliver Yellow Gold Liquid Metal. Cool stuff!

Beautifully done! The vellum is set off perfectly in the pretty border die. Love the splash of gold too! I just made 5 mini cards from my 6x6 papers. I really like this size!
What a great CAS card! I like the dies that you used, especially the curved border one. Cute birthday card! Nice size.
Fabulous CAS card love the curved border and inky background-hope LuLu is still doing okay

That is gorgeous, like a bit of stained glass peeking through!
Nice card. LOVE that border. Have a great day
Beautiful card Leslie, your border die lets the perfect amount of colour peek through. It's always satisfying to have an old die that always gets pulled out and used ♥
Don't you just love pulling out "oldies-but-goodies" stash? I LOVE how you incorporated some older techniques and products into newer styles with newer products. WOW! The AI on vellum certainly is VIBRANT! It's a beautiful card, Leslie! hugs, de
This is so gorgeous. All the white really makes that die cut with the alcohol inks behind it pop. Gorgeous colors too....just stunning. Wanted to also thank you for the lovely birthday card. I love your style, you have a great eye for color and design. Thanks for the inspiration, and I so appreciate your thinking of me!!!
Lovely border die that shows off your gorgeous AI vellum background, Leslie. I can see why this is one of your favourite dies ... so pretty and intricate. Beautiful paired with the gold sentiment and embossed birthday candles. xx
What a great die to showcase your fab AI piece Leslie - it jumps off the front with all that white. Love it.
Gorgeous CAS card Leslie. I am going to have to give this a try. I have used alcohol ink on glossy card stock and added a metallic ink to them and embossed flowers and colored the back but never just made a sheet of the vellum. Love the bright colors.
Simply stunning Leslie!
What a simple, wonderful card, Leslie! I love each of the elements so much.
Clever use of that border die...really makes this card look completely different from you kickoff card. Just brilliant.
I love this die cut and the gorgeous vellum and AI colors peeking through! Fun idea to add those embossed candles, my friend! Thanks so much for the sweet birthday card. I love the black-eyed Susans and tweet birdie!
What a clever idea to have your AI vellum hidden behind that lovely border die and how beautifully CAS it is. Well done xx
Glad you provided a closeup of the sentiment! It works so beautifully with the card, and with that multicolor ink piece behind the curved die. All in all, a beautiful card, Leslie!
How creative to use a strip of the alcohol inks, and pretty I might add! I have yet to make a mini slimline but think I need to give it a go! Hope your remodel is moving right along for you!
Now aren't you ever clever, that is a wonderful idea to use just a left over piece for a border, those pretty colors would be very hard to throw away, you found a lovely piece to cut out your sending die with, goes so great with your embossed birthday wishes, so pretty!
Beautiful alcohol ink on vellum background behind your your die cut curved border. Your gold accents are gorgeous too. TFS your wonderful CAS mini slimline card, my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
Beautiful way to showcase your lovely AI vellum! Love your CAS mini slimline card Leslie, the Spellbinder AZ curved die is so pretty. Beautifully done!
Another winner...this is beautiful!
