Another CAS card today to join in with a new challenge - the CAS Stencil Challenge which started this month. I spent last Saturday morning crafting with friends and decided to play with several of my stencils and inks to make some backgrounds. I used one of them on this card.
This lovely stencil was sent as a gift to me by Mia recently. I sponged two colours of Distress Oxide inks over the stencil and die cut into a circle. The butterfly is made with Memory Box 'Pippi' and 'Isabella' die cuts. I was going to attach the butterfly straight onto the stencilled patterned, but it didn't really show up, so I attached it to a white circle first. The sentiment is stamped with a Versa Color ink pad.
I am joining in with the following challenges:
Here are a few of the backgrounds I made last Saturday.
I didn't want to waste the ink left on the stencils, so I spritzed the stencils with water, laid a piece of card over the stencil and made some negative patterns too.
That BG is beautiful and great how all the colours match! Hugs, Gerrina

Look at all those fun backgrounds you have to make cards, Liz. What a fun day with friends! Your stenciled background on the card is so pretty with the blended blue and green. Great idea to add the white circle to show off the pretty butterfly. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Stencil! xx

Such a wonderful card using the stenciled design. I can see you have lots of good stenciled patterns on hand now. And, great way to use up the ink by making negatives too.
ReplyDeleteThe blue and green stencilling is so pretty and works beautifully mounted on to the blue scalloped circle which tones in perfectly, and with the added butterfly on a white stitched circle which makes it stand out so prettily. x
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!! I love the stenciling and the colors!! Have a great day!! Big hugs :)
