Happy Monoprint

Hello Friends.  I'm glad you could stop by.

I found this monoprint in my stuffed to the gills box of backgrounds.  

It's a piece left over from these cards.

To make the piece, I dragged Mini Distress Ink cubes along the stencil,

spritzed with water and pressed onto mixed media paper.

The happy die was a birthday gift from a special friend. I used vellum

for the background and a snippet of cardstock for the happy.

Birthday was stamped and heat embossed.

There's a little dry embossing too.

My mixed media are Stencil Monoprint, Stamping, Heat Embossing, 

Dry Embossing and Die Cuts.

If you're not familiar with this technique, check out the

CAS Mix Up Challenge site for video tutorials.

Hope you have a happy day!
