Hi there. Are you ready for the weekend?
H
I sponged some Real Red ink through a stencil.
When I removed the stencil, I spritzed with some water and laid it
on a piece of Mixed Media paper and pressed down.
This created a stencil monoprit that looks like a warm and cozy
sweater or afghan.
It's been paired up with a cup colored with red re-inker dropped
onto a wet die cut cup. I've filled the cup with some hot cappuccino
and a healthy helping of whipped cream.
(Whipped cream is healthy isn't it?)
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteFabulous stencil monoprint Bonnie - and could just have that hot choccie right now cos it's very cold here!
Wonderful card!
What a fun and yummy look. Guess you would have to call this a "onefer" that qualifies for all 3 CAS Challenges...smart idea!
ReplyDeleteI love your stencil monoprinting ...... it reminds me of a nice snuggly winter sweater. Perfect match for that yummy hot chocolate xx
ReplyDeleteBonnie, another cute warm and cozy card with your blankee and hot cappuccino.
ReplyDeleteOf course whipped cream is healthy. Anything that tastes good has to be healthy! LOVE your card! Very cozy feeling to it.

Whipped cream is definitely healthy :). Love your pretty monochromatic card, especially the way you did the stenciled part.

OOOHHH Bonnie, I simply love this card, your cappuccino mug is brilliant with its creamy layer seems to stand right off the card and that stencil monoprint is fabulous - a perfect card for all the CAS challenge, thanks for sharing with CAS Stencil, hugs Robyn
ReplyDeleteWay to go, hitting three of the CAS challenges with your card! Love all the red! Just the thought of a sweater or afghan combined with a hot drink makes me feel warm and cozy!
ReplyDeleteFabulous card Bonnie - love the monoprint, and yes whipped cream is healthy - after all it's nearly all air!

ReplyDeleteThe votes are in...whipped cream is definitely healthy!! Had fun reading all the comments on this...
ReplyDeleteWow, this is so pretty Bonnie! I love your mono stenciling. It really does look like a nice warm sweater or blanket. I also am in love with that red cup! It is so rich looking and whipped cream is healthy in my book. lol Really love this card my friend! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteFantastic take on all 3 entries Bonnie. I'm so impressed with your monoprint I thought you had stencilled it :)
ReplyDeleteYes, of course it's healthy! Anything on a card is healthy, right? *wink* This stencil technique is so pretty and I love the soft tones of ink, as well as the vivid colors of the cup! The snowflake looks wonderful too! Very pretty card!
ReplyDeleteFun card to join in the three challenges and so creative Bonnie x. Yes whipped cream is healthy my end!....LOL x Wonderful Christmas card and so festive, warm and cozy x.
ReplyDeleteLove your stenciled monoprint red and white design, Bonnie. Wonderful hot cup of cappuccino too. Your whipped cream looks so yummy! TFS and joining us at CAS Stencil. Hugs..Nancy
ReplyDeleteWonderful card, and I love that you made the stencil cozy like a sweater!
ReplyDeleteA 3-in-1! Beautiful card... you nailed all three challenges.
ReplyDeleteFabulously designed card that fits the three challenges! Not an easy thing to do. Love that sweet winter sweater design monoprint. What a great idea to sponge through the stencil first to get an impression, then spritz to get a monoprint! Very clever. Also love the deep red of your coffee mug. The sparkly whipped cream looks delicious on top! :) xx
ReplyDeleteHow clever to cover three of the challenges with this card Bonnie and a great way to get a monoprint which is such a strong and clear print especially as you stencilled on to a piece of card and then used that to transfer the colour on to another piece of card, so clever, and then the beautiful rich colour of the mug with the pretty glitter card showing through the cut out snowflake on the side and also making the whipped cream on the top. A fabulous monochromatic card! x
ReplyDeleteGreat card, Bonnie. Whipped ream is healthy as long as it's dairy free. For me at least.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet afghan sweater monoprint, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteA cup of hot cappuccino adds more warm and cozy feel to the card. Love the rich shades of the red cup.
Whipped cream? Ha ha ha~ that’s organic non-fat whipped cream, right? ;-P
Hideko xx
So pretty with that Nordic stenciling and your deep red mug Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteGreat winter card, strongly warming colors. This cup looks beautiful. It looks like it is made of thick porcelain. Beautiful background made by watercolor. Just like a warm sweater. And whipped cream .... yum, I can't stop drooling
