CAS Mix Up November Stencil Monthly Picks

 

Thanks to all who played along with our final challenge for 2021.

We have enjoyed so many wonderful challenges from our Designers this year,

many of which are techniques that a lot of us are trying for the first time.

It's been fun, creative, and has helped to stretch the use of our supplies in ways

we hadn't thought of before.

Thanks for all the hard work Bonnie, Chrissie, Coni, Hilary, Jenny,

Leslie, Linda, Nancy, Susan, and Viv!

Our Winner for November's Challenge

Julie (Blackberry Design Studio)

Julie made a variety of stencil monoprints before turning them

into three fantastic cards.

The monoprints were used as both die-cuts and backgrounds for die-cuts,

showing that less is more.

This CAS design stole my heart.

I just loved how clever the cup design was with the tree monoprint,

and tea bag hanging over the side.

Great work Julie!!

Congratulations, Julie!

CAS Mix Up July Mixed Media Monthly Picks

  

What a treat to see all the wonderful entries inspired by the Alcohol Ink on Vellum challenge for Mix Media month. Surfing through your blogs to find out how you achieved such terrific results gave me lots of hints for my next projects.

Our Winner for July's Challenge

Ros 

Ros' alcohol ink blending, over stamping and embossing provide lots of dimension to this card. Her use of embellishments further enhance not only interest, but texture to the flower. Her diecut frame and splatters add amazing movement.

Simply a lovely card.

Congratulations, Ros!
