CAS Mix Up Stencil Rainbow Ink Blending

Time for the May CAS Mix Up (S) Rainbow Ink Blending Challenge hosted by our very talented Susan (Cat's Ink Corporated).  We have very colorful CAS cards by our DT and our Guest Designer.  Be sure and check out all their cards and the videos for gorgeous Rainbow Ink Blending Inspiration.


I used a Stencil, Distress Oxide Inks, Die cuts and Stamping.
 
I began by placing SU Whisper White 100# Cardstock on my glass mat and covering with ARTplorations Bold Florals Stencil and securing the stencil with 3M Masking Tape.

Used makeup brushes to blend my Distress Oxide Inks: Candied Apple, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon and Wilted Violet on the blossoms. Used DOX Rustic Wilderness and Peacock Feathers for the leaves.  Whew..lots of rainbow colors😀

Removed stencil and used Memory Box "Stitched Rectangle" Die to cut the main image.  Then used MISTI to stamp the SSS "Bouquet of Thanks" sentiment with Archival Jet Black ink.

Popped up the image with craft foam and attached to 100# cardbase and then decided to die cut the border using the leftover image with the next larger size of the stitched rectangle and slipped it over the popped up image.  Loved the results. Now my card was Done!

Hope you like my colorful CAS card and will join us for this fun challenge.  Thank you so much Jenny for your Rainbow Challenge.

You have until the 24th to play along.  We would Love to see your rainbow colored CAS cards. 

Love and Hugs...

  1. I am interested to hear that adding the frame from the image was an afterthought. Well done for thinking it and for attaching it with out messing anything up, which is what I would have done! I think it has made the card so much better. I love the bold colouring too xx
