CAS Mix Up Card Challenge - thanks

It's July, and time for a new CAS Mix Up Challenge
I'm pretty new to this Challenge, but it's already one of my favorite ones. It introduces me to new media and shows me how to use it. It's so fun to try new things every month!



Here's my card - stamping, tissue paper, die-cutting:



I love the colored tissue paper texture. It looks and feels like Washi paper.
I splattered Gold Perfect Pearl over the colored tissue paper, and pasted it on the white panel. I die-cut a leaf image out from the panel, framed the panel, and raised it with foam tape. 



I went overboard today and made a bunch of colored tissue paper, so I'm looking forward to using it for future cards! 😃


Stamp: Vintage Leaves, Endless Thanks (Stampin' Up!)
Paper: Whisper White (Stampin' Up!), Tissue Paper
Ink: Distress Ink (Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade - Ranger), Mossy Meadow (Stampin' Up!)
Accessories: Leaflets Framelits Dies (Stampin' Up!), Deckled Rectangles Large Dies (Spellbinders), Perfect Pearls (Gold - Ranger), Foam Tape (3M)

Many thanks for visiting me!

  6. Yes I love the challenge too...makes you try things and yes I have lots of tissue paper 'experiments' to use later on. Love the yellow tissue paper with the splats of gold. Great idea to die cut it and raise it up. Also love how you left the leaf un-coloured. Striking card x
