Hello there and Welcome to October!
I am delighted to tell you that I have joined the team at
So I'm going to get right on with it - This month's challenge is Foiling
I may well be the only person who hadn't actually done any foiling and I don't have a fancy foiling machine either Lol! But if you check out the videos you'll see that there are there ways of achieving foiling on your cards using double sided adhesive tape which is what I used here for the stars.
I started with a tiny left over scrap of an alcohol ink piece that I'd added some gold leafing to and layered it onto a die cut rectangle...Before attaching the rectangle to my card I tucked in a spare die cut leaf.
Then came the stars... I took scrap of white cs and added a piece of double sided tape to both sides of the card, die cut the stars leaving the tape backing in place and then removed one side of the backing to glue the stars onto my card. Then I peeled off the top part of the tape and rubbed the foil onto each one. Oh my goodness what a pretty effect it gives and I will definitely be using this technique more.
I finished my card with a stamped and gold embossed sentiment.
The challenge is open for a month so I do hope you will join us.
Have a lovely day and thanks so much for your visit.

First congratulations on joining the CAS Mix Up DT Ros, so well deserved, and this card is gorgeous with the left over piece of alcohol inked card, framed so well with the added leaf, and the added foiled stars and also that bit of foiling on the AI piece too, and finished with a great embossed sentiment. x
GORGEOUS card Ros. This is so beautiful with the beautiful colours of alcohol ink and gold leaf which mimics the gold stars. Love the design with lots of texture from the pretty leave die-cut and those beautiful foilded stars. So excited to have you join us on the CAS Mix Up team! xx
OOoooo this is lovely Ros...classy as ever and I love your gold stars..good technique without the expense of a posh machine too! Trust you are like us here....paddling in water! xxx
Your little alcohol inked piece is like a framed piece of art, Ros! Love the leaf die cut that adds texture without detracting from the art and those gorgeous, shiny stars! I'm so glad you've joined our CMU team!

Congratulations and welcome to the CAS family Ros! Your card is stunning and what a fun and easy way to add your foiled stars! I have a laminator and LOTS of pretty foil that I've used once and hasn't seen the light of day since! Guess I need to get it all out and try again! Lovely, lovely card my friend! Hugs. :0)
Your beautiful card design makes me want to step right into the little scene you provided...and take a "walk on the beach". ♥
OMG, this is gorgeous! I didn't know there was another way to do foiling. What a fabulously beautiful card, Ros! You're a perfect fit for this challenge. I know you'll have fun. Congratulations and enjoy!
Clearly you belong on that DT, my friend--congrats! Love this design & using foil with adhesive is my favorite foiling technique!
Yay, Ros! Congratulations on joining the fabulous CAS Mix Up team and your style certainly will be at home there! What a great card to start off with - so stylish and elegant.
Have a great weekend.

Absolutely GORGEOUS! Your AI background colours are beautiful as is your complete design. Love everything about this Ros, and congrats on being on the team, you are so talented in many ways you will be a great addition to the team! You are the 'queen' of CAS cards! Enjoy!!!
Foiling... I'll never be able to catch up with all these techniques after this crazy year (and now with a cat who always wants to be smack in the middle of it all)! It looks stunning!
The delicate white die-cut leaves and the gold leafing on the beautiful AI panel look amazing, Ros!
The gold foiled stars are so sparkly and pretty! Love the design with the flow from the white leaves to the panel to the stars! I'm thrilled to be on the DT with you!

Perfect CAS card and wonderful mixing of the medias. The foiling looks beautiful and many congratulations on joining the extremely talented team x
what a beautiful design with the branch under the frame - your AI panel is gorgeous with the bit of gold and the foiled stars add just the right amount of sparkle! congrats on joining the MIX team! xx
Beautiful and for some reason the alcohol ink spots beneath the gold leafing make it look like it's floating. So cool!
