Add some corrugated cardboard to your CAS design, include stamping and then pick a third element from the list on the sidebar of the challenge blog. It's lots of fun!!
My CAS Mix Up card has corrugated cardboard, stamping, smooshing with liquid concentrate watercolours, heat embossing, and watercolouring with distress inks (flower and leaves).
I used a piece of smooshed, watercolour background for my heart. It was a leftover piece from THIS CARD. Always great to keep pieces on hand, even small ones (this is 2 1/4" x 2").

Corregated cardboard, what a challenge...I love your gold corregated heart with the bit of thread and beautiful background Loll.
Such a cool design Loll! LOVE that corrugated cardboard - going to have to see if we have any - that beautiful, bold watercolour piece is so wonderfully vivid, I thought it was another alcohol piece!

Awesome card, Loll! Love the golden thread behind the heart! Another great theme! I have lots of corrugated paper and even a paper crimper so I hope to find some time to make a card for the challenge!
Great card Loll! I will definitely have to do some thinking about this challenge as using cardboard never even entered my mind for a card...have to admit I really like it though! Love your smooshed background and heart, and really like the gold thread you added too! Who knew cardboard could make such an elegant card?!! Love it!! :0)
That little bit of leftover w/c smooshing is fab, so vibrant behind the corrugated gold heart.
Thanks for having me over to GD this month. :)
I love every little detail of your beautiful card, Loll.
Great inspiration for this challenge. I CASE'd it with my entry using the heart and gold thread!! Love the vibrant background that sets off the gold heart perfectly. XO
What a beauty Loll - glad I am not the only one who hoards small pieces... This is gloriously dramatic with the texture and colour.
Blessings
