Distress oxide sprays and a stencil.




Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at CAS Stencil. and this time the theme is all about using sprays with a stencil. This is a lot of fun and there are some videos to help with the technique on the challenge blog.
The DT and our guest designer have some wonderful cards to inspire you, so I hope you get the chance to play along.


I used distress oxide sprays and I love the dotty look the sprayed colours gave - picked raspberry, wilted violet, cracked pistachio and mermaid lagoon.
Here's a closer look.


The diecut sentiment was inked with versamark and embossed with Lindy's midnight violet embossing powder.

I'm linking up to these challenges:

I really like the way you have used the stencil to form the edge of the card under that pretty die cut, very effective. The lovely shiny happy is great too xx

What a great mix of DOX sprays on your stenciling Cathy! It is so pretty peeking out from your lovely die cut edge - and that embossed word is just luscious with that purple embossing! xx

A lovely lacy stencil Cathy and the fabulous spray colours go beautifully with your die cut and yummy embossed sentiment - nice idea too with the lacy die cut edge, wonderful card - hugs Robyn

The DOX ink sprays have worked well with the stencil and love the curved stitched picot edge die cut shape white layer which adds lots of interest Cathy, and finished beautifully with the large die cut sentiment and some pretty sequins. x

Just popped by for another look at this beauty and discovered I didn't leave a comment when I first saw it - so sorry. I love this. You've managed to include artiness with CAS in such a beautiful way. Perfect design.
