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 Stamping Through Stencil

Time for our CAS Mix Up Stamping Through Stencil hosted by Jenny.

Here is what Jenny has to say,

I love this technique because it adds so much interest and depth to your stenciling. I personally find it easier to use a fairly open pattern to make it easier to get a good impression.

Be sure and check out the wonderful card samples by our Design Team and our talented

Guest Designer,  Bobby (Bits & Pieces) and Michele (I card Everyone)

We are also excited to Welcome our New CAS Mix Up Girl Designer: Chrissy (One of a Kind)

to our CAS Mix Up Family😊 Many of you know Chrissy as an amazingly talented

CAS designer, who rarely misses our CAS Mix Up Challenges.

A Big Hug and Welcome, Chrissy!

My card using Stamping,  Stamping thru Stencil & Sponging

This is my 1st time to try stamping thru a stencil.  Thank you Jenny for the challenge.  I always Love trying new techniques, my friend.  As you can see,  I chose a stencil with larger openings because of your advice!  Thank you!

I chose STAMPlorations Design Blox #5 Stencil 5.8" x 7.8".  The stencil is also part of the

  Birthday Bundles #1 for a discount.  I sprayed the stencil with Pixie Spray, a light tack spray.

Then placed on SU Basic White 100# cardstock.  Moved to MISTI.

Stamped STAMPlorations In Bloom: Heartfelt Hibiscus using Archival Jet Black Ink.

Tip: Immediately cover stencil with Archival Ink Remover and place in sink of warm soapy water to remove the ink from the stencil.  I got all,  but a tiny bit of ink off my stencil.

After ink dried completely I used i-crafters i-brushes to blend the SU inks.

To get a smooth blend with the SU inks I tapped the brush lightly onto ink pad and then tapped brush onto scratch paper and then blended the inks for the background, flower and leaves. 

 It gave a smooth blend.

I used new SU ink pads that were quite juicy. I listed the colors in my supply list.

I removed stencil and was very pleased with the depth and texture from the technique.

Next I trimmed the piece and stamped the STAMPlorations Helenium-Lg Hello sentiment using Archival Jet black ink.

I tried framing with a layer of black cardstock, but then thought it was more CAS if 

I trimmed all,  but the left side of frame.  Added a few sequins,  attached to card base and Done!

This was a fun challenge and I am looking forward to using the technique again!

You have until the 24th to play along.  

We would love to see your CAS Stencil cards😊

Love and Hugs and enjoy your Summer, but stay safe!
