I do hope your week has got off to a great start.
I seem to have had one of those days ...... I've been busy, but haven't achieved much!
I've just popped by to remind you about this month's CAS Stencil Challenge ......
Our host this month is Julia and the theme is ....... Ghosting
There's some fabulous entries in the gallery so far, but don't worry, if you want to play along there's still time to get your entries in.
If you're not familiar with the Ghosting technique then there's links on the CAS Stencil Blog to some really easy to follow video tutorials ..... go on, give it a go! Just remember to keep your cards in the Clean and Simple (CAS) style
I've gone for a bit of a masculine look today ..... well with the colours at least!
I blended Distress Oxides onto a piece of smooth watercolour card, then placed my stencil over the top.
Using a damp baby wipe I gently rubbed over the stencil design, removing some of the ink from the design
The stenciled panel was then attached to the bottom of a 7x5 inch cardblank.
I cut a piece of white card slightly smaller than the length of the card blank and then die cut a fancy edge along the bottom
I added my sentiment and then attached this to the front of my card blank, overlapping the stenciled panel.
To finish off I added a few drops of Nuvo Jewel Drops around the sentiment.
We've also got a lovely Guest Designer this month ...... Ishani is joining us, so please pop by and say Hello.
Happy stenciling!
I'm also linking this card up to this month's Country View Crafts Challenge where the theme is Letters and/or Numbers
Thanks for stopping by ..... enjoy the rest of your day, and have a lovely week.
We haven't much in the diary this week, it's a bit of a quiet one for a change. Lots to do in the craft room though.
Cheerio until next time .....
