Brand New CAS Stencil Card Challenge:-)

So excited to share Loll's New CAS Stencil Card Challenge and play along

as one of Loll's DT Members:-)

Congratulations Loll for a New Challenge that I think is going to be very popular.

Here is the link to the CAS Stencil Card Challenge 

with all the rules and the introductions to the

very talented Design Team.  I will be moving over from the CAS Mix Up DT, 

but I will still be playing in Loll and Bonnie's CAS Mix Up, CAS Watercolour and 

CAS Christmas Challenges as often as possible.  

This Challenge will give you many creative CAS Card ideas on how to use your stencils.

You will be so inspired by the beautiful creative cards by the Design Team and our 

Guest Designer each month.  Challenges begin on the 4th day of the month 

and end on the 24th of the month.

Here is my CAS Stencil Card...Sponging!

There are several video tutorials if you need inspiration for your sponged stencil card.

I used Loll's new You Tube Video "Stenciling with Sponges" 4:09. for my inspiration.

I placed my ARTplorations stencil "Rosegarden" designed by Sanna Lippert over

a piece of Strathmore Cold Press paper and taped down with 3M masking tape. 

Next I used a sponge dauber to color my rose petals with Distress Oxide Inks: 

Fossilized Amber,  Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry and Spiced Marmalade. 

Then sponged the leaves with DOX's: Twisted Citron and Lucky Clover.

Then I outlined the roses thru the stencil with a black 05 Art pen.

Removed stencil and die cut image with CUTplorations Running Stitch Rectangle 

Nesting Dies.  There are 3 dies in the set.  I used the medium die.

Next used the largest die for the die cut card front and attached to SU 

Whisper White Thick Cardstock.

The main image looked flat so I die cut it with the CUTplorations Hugs Word Die.

Set die cut Hugs aside and die cut 2 more Hugs out of SU Basic Black CS 

and stacked the 2 black Hugs with SU Fine Tip Glue Pen then attatched the

black stacked Hugs to the original Die Cut main image Hugs

and Inlaid the die cut sentiment .

Much more interesting with the Hidden Word Technique,  don't you think?!?

Popped up main image using Foam Dimensional Tape.

Now I am done!

Hope you join our Sponged Stenciling Challenge. 

The winner will be chosen to be a Guest Designer for this fun challenge.

Remember,  you have until the 24th to play along:-) Hugs...
