CAS Mix Up Sep '22

 Hi there Crafty Friends. It's time for a new challenge at CAS Mix UP. This month is a STENCIL themed challenge.  Hilary is hosting and the prompt is 'GESSO'. So it's time to get a little a bit messy!

There are some links to video tutorials on the CAS MIX UP blog and an explanation from Hilary as to what she would like to see.

 Please remember to keep your card designs Clean and Simple and include stencilling.


There wasn't much left in my Gesso bottle and it was quite thick. I used a scrap of cardstock to spread the Gesso over the stencil.  When it was dry I spritzed the paper with water and sprinkled it with Nuvo Shimmer  Powders.
I cleaned the Gesso with a slightly damp cloth. The panel was then die-cut and I assembled my card.
The stencil is from Kaisercraft and the dies are from Memory Box.


We have the talented Sue, from Cards by Q as our Guest Designer  month.
You can see her card and more from our fabulous DT at the CAS Mix Up blog.

I hope you will be inspired and join in the challenge!

                          Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog! I love to read your comments:)

  9. The effect of that stunning colour against the black backdrop is simply wonderful. The use of gesso simply lifts it to another level.
