CAS Stencil Challenge Debut

Hello there. Have you heard about the new  CAS Card Challenge - it's all about playing with STENCILS, learning new techniques and using different media with stencils.

Like all CAS challenges, it's important to keep your entries 'Clean and Simple', which means leaving lots of 'white' space on your card.


I used Distress Inks(Pine Needles,Evergreen Bough, Pistachio) to sponge through the Memory Box stencil.  To get an Ombre effect,  I pressed heaviest with the darkest colour, getting lighter with each colour to fade away. I swiped the mixed blue inks, DI & Zig Markers, on the craft sheet, spritzed and smooshed and then die cut 2 butterflies for a movement effect.

I was inspired by the colours of a new top I purchased.

I'm entering the following challenges:-
