It's time for our mid-month reminder for the CAS Stencil challenge. Have you played along yet? Don't worry, there's still time if you fancy joining in.
Julia is our host this month with a really fun technique challenge theme ........ it's all about using Baby Wipes with your stencils.
Check out the CAS Stencil Blog for links to a couple of fab videos showing this technique.
I used baby wipes with a Waves stencil to create the ocean background for my little fishes.
First I masked off a section on my card front, and then applied blue Distress Inks onto the open panel
I then placed my stencil over the top and used a baby wipe to gently remove some of the Distress Inks, leaving the wave design behind.
I stamped the fishes onto a seperate piece of card, coloured them using ZIG markers and then used the matching dies to cut them out.
These were then attached onto my card using foam pads.
A few dots of Crystal Glaze to create the look of bubbles .....
And a sentiment from the stamp set to finish off.
You can find more inspiration for this months challenge on the CAS Stencil Blog, along with a fab project from Sarah (Funky Fossil Designs), who is joining us as our Guest Designer this month.
Thanks for popping by ..... enjoy the rest of your day.
We're off to the Gaiety Theatre again this evening, to see The Legends of Disco - The Three Degrees and Odyssey ...... that's going to bring back some memories.
I was a mere teenager when Native New Yorker (Odyssey) was in the charts ..... and only 12 (oh dear! was it that long ago!!) when the 3 Degrees released When Will I See You Again.
Funny thing is, many years later, probably around 1990/91 (ish), hubby and I bought a new car .... a white Ford Mondeo, our first 'family' car.
It was only 3 months old and had had one careful lady owner. That lady owner was ....... Sheila Ferguson, the lead singer, at that time, with the 3 Degrees!!!! It's a small world.
Now where did I put my dancing shoes?!
Cheerio until next time ......
