CAS Mix Up October's Monthly Picks

Thank you all for a wonderful challenge.  The gallery looked amazing and you all embraced the technique challenge beautifully, with lots of stunning cards and really interesting techniques.  Thanks so much for playing along with our Metal challenge!

Our Top Pick for October

BozenA (ArtCardBox)

BozenA did a wonderful job on her card of layering the heat embossing powders to create a molten faux metal effect and also added texture where she did not heat the powders quite as much.
 A stunning card and a wonderful job of mixing the medias, incorporating the metal challenge and keeping it CAS.

Congratulations BozenA on being our fabulous winner this month!

CAS Mix Up October Reminder

There's still time to play!

PLEASE READ!

Metal can be Real or Faux.

Faux could be foil, tape, a Metal looking Technique or 'Metal looking' card.....

Card stock/foil/yuppo etc could be inked, painted, or alcohol inks to look like metal.....

You could also use layered die cuts and heat emboss to look like metal.
You are only limited by your imagination.

This is a technique based challenge, 

so if you are using real metal charms, wire etc I would like to see it used with something else....

like making your own 'Metal Looking Card' or even making your own charms.

Have fun and I am looking forward to seeing your CAS creations in the gallery.
