CAS Mix Up Challenge - March 2020 - Acrylic Paint - Paris

Hi Stampers,
This month we are celebrating the 4th Birthday of CAS Mix Up and there are Prizes to be Won by joining us and playing along.

This month Jenny wants us to use Acrylic Paint on our cards.  There are some fabulous videos on the Challenge Blog if you need some Inspiration.  I haven't used Acrylic Paints in card making so this was a new Medium for me to try.  I used three colours for my background, I wanted a more abstract look, I used an Old Plastic card but only had one attempt that had the look I wanted but it was too small for my card so I used the best of an ordinary bunch.  I like how my card came together in the end.  I layered the tower and the greeting 3 times, stamped the postage marks and added some silver splatters.
