July CAS Stencil Challenge


Hi there ~ Happy Independence Day to all of my U.S. friends!

Today starts a new challenge at CAS Stencil and our Hostess, Cathy has chosen Alcohol Inks'Alcohol Lift for our technique...So much fun!


I picked up one of the new nautical stamp sets from MFT and paired it with the Honey Bee Stamps 'Ocean Scene Builder' stencils. I started by creating the background then sponged the sun and rays using alcohol lift ink through the stencils. The fish were colored with Copic markers and I added water droplets with Glossy Accents.

I hope you'll check out the CAS Stencil Challenge Blog...Our Guest Designer is Janet (Swanlady Impressions), our Hostess Cathy has provided links to several great videos, and my teamies have created some amazing cards to inspire you!

The team over at CAS Mix Up are also challenging everyone to use the Alcohol Ink Lift Technique, so I am entering this card to their challenge, too ~


I used the Alcohol Ink Lift technique, stamping and Copic coloring.

Thanks so much for stopping by,






Supplies:
Stamps & Dies: - MFT - Fish You Were Here
Stencils: Honey Bee Stamps - Ocean Scene Builder
Misc: Alcohol Inks; Alcohol Lift Ink; Copic Markers; Glossy Accents
