August CAS Mix Up Challenge

Hi everyone.  This month's challenge at CAS Mix Up - Stenciling over Patterned Paper has Viv as our Host!  This is a great way to use your stencils in a new way ... and to use up some of your patterned paper that we all have in abundance. :)

I used an older piece of patterned paper (Sweather Weather - Stampin' Up!).  Stenciled using the Dreamweaver - Hibiscus Pair stencil, using distress inks.

I finished the card by tracing an outline through the stencil with a fine-tip black marker and adding a simple sentiment.

Sending this card to the following challenges:

I hope you'll check out the CAS Mix Up August Challenge - Stenciling over Patterned Paper.  We'd love if you made a CAS card using this technique and then link up to the party at the bottom of the challenge post.  Hope to see you in the Gallery!
