It's happy dance time today, to celebrate the launch of a brand new Blog Challenge (I do love a good challenge don't you?!)
Do you like using stencils? Or do you have a collection and you're not sure where to start with them? Do you like to use different techniques and different products? Is Clean and Simple your style?
Well ...... you are in for a treat.
It's time to get the brand new CAS Stencil Card Challenge underway ...... whoo hoo!
The latest addition to the CAS Challenge family, from the lovely Loll Thompson
I'm so excited to be part of this fabulous, and talented Design Team. This is going to be fun!
Each month we will have a theme ..... based on either a technique or a particular product. To get things started we have a nice easy one for you ...... Sponging
Simply create a card in the CAS style, using the sponging technique with your chosen stencil.
If you're not familiar with the technique then check out the CAS Stencil Challenge blog for links to some fab videos. You can also find all the challenge details, the rules etc. on there too.
I've used one of my favourite Tim Holtz stencils here, and simply sponged Distress Inks through the design directly onto my card blank
A nice stamped sentiment .......
A few sparkly sequins ......
And I finished off with some splatters of gold ink
I also added part of the stencil on the inside of the card too .....
Check out the Challenge Blog and see what the rest of the Design Team have created, and then why not join in the fun.
Happy stenciling!
Thanks for popping by .... enjoy the rest of your day.
Cheerio until next time ....

Gorgeous floral card Linda, the added splats and sequins highlight your beautifully sponged image and I love that you carried it over into the inside of the card... always think this is a fab idea and always forget to do it.
Lovely colors sponged over your pretty roses stencil Linda! and nicely placed in the upper corner to give room for that wonderful birthday sentiment! I look forward to working with you on this fun new design team as we learn more ways to play with out stencils!! Julia xx

Congratulations on being the CAS Stencil Design Team, Linda! This is such a lovely rose CAS card! I love it. The sponged colors are so pretty and I love the well-balanced layout and the sparkly & shiny finishing touch. They make the roses look even more elegant. Looking forward to seeing many more of your beautiful creations!

Sorry I'm really late reading this, but sometimes "real" family life is so much time-consuming - without any chance of realising any of my crafty dreams...
But better late than never! :-)
