Starry Sky

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

I tried my hand at Stencil Monoprint again.
It still comes out very messy for me.
I have really enjoyed seeing all the crisp prints in the gallery at
CAS Mix Up.  Maybe one day, I'll get that result.  This time we'll just say
that I was looking for a impressionist look.

You're doing better than I am, Bonnie I haven't tried it at all! I think it's lovely! A peaceful wintry scene.

Susan said...

It may not be a super crisp stencil monoprint, but it is a lovely background regardless. Fabulous trees and snowbanks, and a beautiful reindeer.

Cat Craig said...

I think that turned out fabulously. Such a pretty sky for your scene.

Ida said...

What a pretty card & a fun technique. Now I'm going to have to try that out.

Leslie Miller said...

I think your stencil monoprints have been wonderful and it seems to me they look exactly as they should. Love the artsy look and wouldn't call it messy at all. This is truly gorgeous with the trees and beautiful deer. I love it!

Vicky Hayes said...

Beautiful card Bonnie. xx

Bobby said...

There is definitely a learning curve to that technique, Bonnie, but I love the look of your winter sky. So does the deer as he can't stop looking at it. ;)

Marcia Hill said...

Beautiful card, my friend! Impressionist prints are beautiful too! :) I love the sky and the layers of glittery snow. The reindeer is so pretty! xx

Impressionistic perfection! I love the beauty of the starry sky, its a wonderful backdrop for pretty scene

Brenda said...

Well I think your stencil monoprint came out great Bonnie! I know I would have a mess on my hands, but still want to give it a try some day. I love the scene you have created, that starry sky is just beautiful to me and your stag....well he is certainly very majestic! Hugs, Brenda

Susan Joyce said...

Great Christmas monoprint card Bonnie, love all the glitter in your snowy scene.

I am convinced that your monorpint stencil looks its best, that a clear print would not make such a big visual impression. Due to the fact that it is not clear, it looks much more interesting, creating this amazing starry sky.
