August's CAS Stencil challenge ..........

Happy Sunday ......

I hope you're having a lovely weekend.
It's been a quiet one around here, which has been nice.  I've even managed to spend some time in my craft room!

It's time to get this month's CAS Stencil challenge underway.
Robyn is our host for August, and it's another fun theme for you ....... Sprays

There's loads of sprays out there ..... Distress Sprays, Distress Oxides, Perfect Pearls, Dylusions you name it!  But don't worry, if you don't have any of those in your stash you can still join in the fun by making your own.  Just put a little drop of your liquid inks (re-inkers etc.), or pigment powders like Brushos or Color Bursts, or even acrylic paints, into a spray bottle, add water, give them a good old shake to mix, and then spray!

I've used Distress Oxide Sprays with my pretty daisy stencil ......

I simply placed the stencil over a piece of watercolour card ..... spritzed with the lightest shade all over, and then used a darker shade just in the centre of the flower.

Depending on how much you spray, you may get a little of the ink bleeding underneath your stencil in places ....... I quite like the little imperfections though. 
If you like a more crisp finish, spray the underside of your stencil with a little repositionable adhesive to hold it in place on your cardstock.

I mounted the card onto a slightly larger piece leaving room to add a sentiment at the bottom ......

And finished off with a few dots of Crystal Drops

We have two lovely Guest Designers joining us this month ...... Hilary (from fiddling about) and Amy (from Miss_Lomax_Art).  Pop by the CAS Stencil Challenge Blog to see what they've created for this month's challenge theme.  You'll also find some fab inspiration from the rest of the DT on there too.

Thanks for stopping by ...... enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Cheerio until next time .....
