CAS Mix Up October Monthly Picks

October's foiling challenge was a new technique to many of us and we
found many ways to add foil to our cards.  Thanks to all of you who bravely
gave it a try and found awesome ways to add foil!

Our Top Pick for October

Tristan

Tristan got an amazing amount of foil on her alcohol background. The gold foil
is so pretty with the green and a perfect background for this sweet leafy circle.
A perfectly CAS card!

We have even more inspiration to offer you!

A warm welcome to all three.

Now to our challenge

This month's challenge is foiling and there are many ways to incorporate this onto your cards.

A laminator can be used with gel medium and foils.

Foils can also be attached, without a laminator using double sided tape, 

special glue or burnished onto alcohol inks.

There are video links below to inspire you further.

I am so looking forward to your wonderful creations in the gallery.

Have fun .....
