Today I'm playing with the CAS Stencil Challenge that's hosted by Julia.
I've smooshed a piece of photo paper into some spritzed Distress Oxide ink.
I only used one color this time to leave a fairly neutral background.
I laid the stencil over the dried smooshed piece and
sponged more Distress Oxide ink through it.
When it was completely dry, I wiped with a baby wipe and watched
the magic happen. I never get tired of this technique!
All that was left was to trim it up and put it behind an
embossed frame.
The sentiment is stamped in the same color as the background.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

BEAUTIFUL!! Love the muted background and then the bright pop of color from the flower and leaves...lovely, lovely card Bonnie!! :0)
ReplyDeleteThis is so so pretty Bonnie with the beautiful smooshed background and stencilling on photo paper, and the finish is wonderful wiping it over with the baby wipe. It brings out the colours and there is lots of contrast with the white frame. x

ReplyDeleteWhat a special card this is Bonnie - love the featured panel and the fascinating wavy greeting

I tried baby wipes a number of ways and gave up, Bonnie. Now that you've shown me what to do with your lovely card I can try again.
ReplyDeleteI love this baby wipe with DOX technique, too! Love how you used a neutral colored background for your stenciled flower, Bonnie. It really makes your flower pop. TFS Hugs..Nancy
