Playing With Acrylic Paints

 Hello! Hope your Monday is off to a good start.  Mine started with computer problems but I finally got Windows 10 to open.  I was playing with acrylic paints this week - the challenge at CAS Mix Up Card Challenge is to use Acrylic Paints.  I bought some acrylic paints years ago really cheap but never used them.  So I pulled them out after watching the video tutorials links on the challenge blog.
I made a background using white cardstock and 3 colors-green umber, orange, and marigold.  I die cut a circle with Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle die and heat embossed a sentiment stamp on the circle with Versamark ink and Wow Chestnut EP. I attached this to a dark brown card base embossed with Spellbinders EF.  I thought the background looked like an artsy looking sunrise.
Challenges:

CAS Mix Up Card Challenge: March Acrylic Paints + Stamping + Your Choice. I used die cutting, heat embossing, and dry embossing. Happy 4th Birthday to the team at CAS Mix Up Card Challenge!

For my second attempt at creating a background with acrylic paints, I used blue midnight, marigold and orange.  My results looked like a scene on the Serengeti so I heat embossed some Gina K Design stamps from Wild About You set to create a birthday card.  I tore the edges of the image and distressed the edges with a distress tool.  This would not be considered a CAS card but I like how it turned out.
