CAS Mix Up April 2016 Stencil Challenge



Close Up to Show Shimmer!


Stamping + Stenciling + My Choice: Mixed Media Paints...Brushos, Zig Markers, Inka Golds

My main image was a saved smooshed piece I found in my treasured box of scraps.  I just stamped the sentiment,  doodled the border and added a watercolored Inka Gold butterfly and popped up over a watercolored "Gold" Inka Gold "Sun Ray" Tim Holtz Stenciled background.    Love the Inka Gold

    Wonderful contrast between the teal smooshed piece and the Inka Gold sunrays. Fresh, crisp, happy--three words that come to mind while looking at this card. Thanks for the inspiration.
