I tried the stencil monoprint technique and I've got to say,
I love this technique!
It's super quick and easy.
I used some Distress ink cubes I had recently acquired.
They made it very easy to add the different colors to the stencil.
I just dragged the ink pad the length of the stencil and
repeated with each color.
A few light spritzes of water and it was ready to press into the mixed media paper.
Simon Says Stamp
is celebrating a 7th birthday for the Wednesday Challenge.
These colors said birthday celebration to me so I
added some of Simon's Celebration Time balloons.
I cut the balloons from some mixed media paper
smooshed with Inka Gold.
They have a wonderful shimmer!
Here's another card showing more of this stencil monoprint panel.
Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge this month is

We're asking for stamping, stencils and at least 1 other

I've added Inka Gold and Die Cutting and embossing to the stencil technique

What stencil do you have that you can ink up?
Hope to see you in the gallery!

These cards are SO FUN!! LOVE the bright mix of colours. And great job with the stencil monoprint technique. Lee-Anne's video tutorial is so easy to follow and it has become one of my favourite techniques. xx
Love the bright colours - super cards. I haven't come across this technique before, I'll need to check it out. xx
Fabulous technique and unique cards. The balloons look fabulous. That technique with the deeply embossed background looks gorgeous!
Oh my gosh, these cards are just so pretty, and I adore those balloons! Gonna have to check out that stenciling technique. And, thanks so much for the kind words you left on my blog. :)
I still need to try that technique & you've inspired me to do it, Bonnie! Love your bright, festive cards!
Fabulous cards and technique! The cards look artsy but still CAS! Awesome!
Two such bright, fun and beautiful cards Bonnie! I absolutely LOVE that HA stencil you used and think I need to check that out! The monoprint technique is so much fun and is one I think I'll use again and again, and you showcased it to perfection in both of your cards!! :0)
Wonderful cards Bonnie - love that cheery mono printing!
Blessings

Wow!!!! I love both your colorful stencil monoprint cards!!! They are so creative. I love how you swiped your ink pads down your stencil instead of randomly. Great technique:-) TFS my friend.
Love those fancy balloons on your first card. That inked border on the second card is way cool! You rock this technique!
What beautiful cards Bonnie. The balloons look fantastic. It's a lovely technique. Thank you so much for the link. Barbxx
Inka Gold for balloons is a great idea! Love the stencil monoprint done with the stripes of colour - another great idea!
The Birthday Balloon card is reason enough to celebrate - it is on wowzer of a card!!
I like the second card too but I am afraid it is overshadowed by the balloons!
