Hi everyone, it feels like it's been a long week even though it's only Wednesday!
This is my second card as guest designer for the CAS Mix Up Card Challenge.
The theme is stencil monoprints which are lots of fun to do! So I hope you can join in.
I used a blending tool to add twisted citron, mermaid lagoon, blueprint sketch and cracked pistachio oxide inks to the back of the stencil. I spritzed it with dazzling diamonds shimmer mist then carefully placed it onto some watercolour paper placed a paper towel over it and pressed down to help the ink absorb into the paper.
It took a couple of goes to get the right amount of liquid spritzed on so that the stars stayed defined.
My elements are the monoprint stencil; diecutting; stamping and wet embossing.
At Allsorts it's from boys to men.
At Word Art Wednesday it's always anything goes as long as you use a sentiment or a blble verse.
Supplies:
Tim Holtz stars layering stencil; distress oxide inks; So Suzy sentiment stamp; versafine ink and clear ep; MFT congratulations die; glimmer mist.
Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your week,

Beautiful stenciled monoprint stars image for your die cut circle, Cathy. The perfect image and sentiment for Congratulations card. I love the added shimmer spray too. TFS and it has been wonderful having you as our Guest Designer this month. Look forward to you playing with us again:-) Hugs...Nancy

ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty star monoprint card, Cathy! Using the dazzling diamonds shimmer mist to moist the stencil is a wonderful idea. I'm sure it must look more shimmery and prettier IRL. Great CAS design! Hideko xx
