Tone on Tone Stenciling for CAS Mix Up

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's time for a new challenge at CAS Mix Up.
This month we're using stencils.


 Our hostess this month is Viv, and shes's chosen...

There are some video links at the challenge site if you're unsure
and our fabulous Design Team along with our  very talented Guest Designer Pat,
have lots of inspiration for you.

For my card, I used this technique after seeing these cards.

I chose Fall colors to sponge on using the technique using the same colors
to stencil over.  I love the soft, subtle background.

The branch, a gift from a special friend, was die cut from Copper Foil 
and the sentiment was heat embossed with copper embossing powder.

I added a narrow mat of copper foil to bring it all together.

I hope you'll give Tone on Tone Stenciling a try and
join us at CAS Mix Up.


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

What a beautiful background Bonnie and I love the stencils you have used with the coordinating yellow/orange tones and the copper foil leaves go beautifully over the top. A fabulous tone on tone card! Thank you for the invite to join you this month and I have really enjoyed this tone on tone theme set by Viv. x
