CAS Mixed Media Stencil Monoprint card

Our CAS Mixed Media Stencil Challenge ends tomorrow night.
I am getting under the wire with another Stencil Monoprint card.  I LOVE this technique!
Loll is hosting this fun and creative challenge.  
An Awesome Way to end our 2021 Challenges.
Our Design Team is taking December off to concentrate on the Holidays:-)
Wishing you all a safe, healthy and Happy Holiday Season.


My CAS Stencil Monoprint Card

This is pushing the limit for a Clean and Simple card,  but I decided to still share as
I wanted all our followers and friends to Enjoy Every Moment of the
 Holiday Season with family and friends.
Most importantly...stay safe and Healthy, dear friends.

I created my image several months ago using Distress Oxide Inks over the 
ARTplorations Happy Flowers Stencil.  
I then chose another monoprint image from my stash:-)
After thinning the ink with water I applied ink with a paint brush to the stencil
and turned the stencil over onto Strathmore Cold Press WC paper. 
  Then removed stencil.  Blotted a little of the excess ink
 with a paper towel and let dry.  

Then added stencil again and outlined the flowers with Staedler black art pen.

After choosing the background from my stash...I die cut the image with MB Stitched
Rectangle Die.  Stamped and heat embossed the 
Penny Black Special Sentiments 30-574 sentiment and 
popped up image with craft foam onto SU Basic White 100# paper.

Quick card to wish you all the very best and Happy Holiday Season.
Love and Hugs...see you in 2022😊

CAS Mix Up Stencil Monoprint Challenge

Time for our Last CAS Mix Up Challenge for 2021.  Our Design Team will be taking December off to prepare for the Holidays:-)  I wish all our friends a very Merry and Healthy Holiday Season.

Thank you to all my followers,  who have supported me and shared wonderful thoughtful comments.

  We have fabulous CAS cards samples by our  
very talented Guest Designer Steph W (My Paper Corner)  and our Design Team. 
 You will be Inspired!!!  Have Fun!


Loll's Message
Stencil Monoprint is my favourite stencil technique.
You start by inking the stencil, spritzing with water or shimmer spray.
You turn it over onto a clean piece of card that can take water, pressing down with a paper towel to absorb any excess ink.

This gives you a negative image of your stencil.
Instead of colouring the design or image on a stencil, you are colouring the background.
I hope you enjoy this technique as much as I do.

Using Stencil Monoprinting, Stamping, Watercoloring with Magicals and Die Cut.


I am sharing a close up of all the Lindy Magicals Gorgeous Shine 😎

I found this beautiful background in my monoprint stash:-)
I had reconstituted different colors of Magicals powder with water and smooshed
the T.H. Wildflowers stencil that I made using the T.H. Wildflowers Dies
and an acrylic sheet.  It worked great!

Thank you Lolly for hosting this awesome CAS Mix Up Monoprint Challenge.
 The shine from the Magicals and the Gold Foil Cardstock
behind the Monoprint image are Stunning.

I die cut the background with Reverse Confetti Lacy Scallop Frames.
Attached the SU Gold foil CS behind the background.
Stamped the STAMPlorations sentiment and popped up the monoprint image 
with craft foam onto SU Basic White 100# CS and Done!

I Loved the results!  We would love to have you join us

You have until the 24th to play along:-)
