This weekend I decided to do something with the backgrounds that I have in my stash. These are the backgrounds that have accumulated by practising various techniques and then storing them in a drawer! This one I had made by sponging a selection of DI on to a piece of card-stock and then stamping and stencilling with white pigment ink for a Bokeh background.
As it has, watercolour (DI), stamping & a third element (stencilling), I decided to link it up to Loll & Bonnie's CAS Mix Up March challenge
I cut the panel with a 'postage stamp' rectangle die a bit smaller than a standard card front, adhered it to the front of a white card base, added a die-cut sentiment and another stamped one, and finished it off with some sequins and a couple of Glossy Accent 'Dew Drops' and called it done. I really am unsure as to whether it constitutes CAS, or if it is too 'busy' a background? This is it.
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and have a great week upcoming! Thanks for stopping by. Hazel xx

This is a great background! I have lots laying around here but always forget to use them! Should challenge myself to use one per month at least. It would be a start...
