Stencil Monoprint for CAS Mix Up

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

It's time for a new challenge at CAS Mix Up.


My dear friend Loll is hosting this month and she's challenged us to...
There is an explanation and links to video tutorials at the challenge site.

I've used a Sanna Lippert stencil with Brusho crystals sprinkled on the stencil, 
spritzed with water and pressed onto a piece of heavy cardstock.

I've die cut some branches from kraft cardstock, smooshed them into my
VersaMark pad and heat with clear embossing powder.

There's a piece of yellow cardstock peeking through the die cut hemstitch rectangle.

Our wonderfully talented Design Team have some awesome inspiration
for you and we're joined by our September winner, Steph.
Do check out our inspiration, tutorials then
come join us at CAS Mix Up.

Your monoprint makes such a fantastic background. Love the contrast from that little sprig of black leaves, and that die makes the perfect frame xx

I haven't tried Brushos with this technique Bonnie - always use DI/DO's but now seeing your results I will have to try it out!
Lovely card and your die cut pops out from the fab background! x
