CAS Stencil Challenge Reminder

Hi there, blog friends! I'm back with a reminder...There's still time to play along at the CAS Stencil Challenge...This time I created a custom sized card for a special friend.

I used my new Blender Brushes to create a soft blue background and black Brushos for this stencil because I love the bits of color that appeared when I sprayed it with water. I also used Loll's technique again and chose the 2nd panel for my design. 

Don't forget there are several video tutorials listed on the challenge blog and lots of inspiration from the team! This challenge closes on the 24th, so if you have the time, grab your stencils and powdered inks and join us...we would love to see what you come up with for this technique!

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Supplies:
Stamps: Papertrey Ink - Keep it Simple: Friendship
Stencil: The Crafter's Workshop - Aspen Trees
Dies: SSS - Chisholm Wreath - Birds
Misc: Brushos; TH - Tumbled Glass Distress Ink

Hi everyone ~
I have 2 cards to share today. For my first card, I used the sketch from this week’s challenge at CAS(E) This Sketch by Joni Andaya, and the inspiration photo for this week’s Festive Friday Challenge. I used glitter paper to reflect all the sparkle and shine in the silver and gold ornaments in the photo.

Here is a close up of the sparkle in the snowflake:

 My 2nd card is also for 3 challenges: 
- CASology. Our Cue Card is “And", so I chose my stencil with an ampersand to provide a focal point for my card. I was really inspired by the 'Uber Talented' Kimberly Weiner, who created an ombre effect with her ampersand.

Well, that's it for me...I hope everyone is having a great day! 

Thank you so much for stopping by ~
