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:

Darnell's IDEAS Calendar - Week 1 - Inks - used Distress inks to stencil the flowers

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!

Autumn Birthday

Hi everyone.  Today's card was made at the same time as the Stencil Monoprint card I posted a couple of days ago ...

I used brushos on mixed media paper with the Joyful Sunflower stencil to create 1) a positive print --- my card for today; then 2) flipping the wet stencil over onto a second piece of mixed media paper to create the negative (background) print for the stencil monoprint recently posted for Group of Seven.

I'm really happy with both cards. :)  I haven't done many prints with stencils recently and Group of Seven inspired me to get inky. :)  

The top card uses the print, along with a small black sentiment banner with Happy Birthday heat embossed in copper.  Simple, quick, and easy card to make, celebrating fall's colours.
