I finally found a day to spend in my craft room - and one of the things I wanted to get done was a card for the August CAS Mix Up Challenge!
I used water for my 'spray' - inking my Intersecting Brick Circles from Stencil Girls with Distress Mermaid Lagoon Ink, spritzing the stencil with water - and laying it over a white panel. I pressed over the stencil with a paper towel - and then removed the stencil.
I cut my panel in half and made two cards! One is a 'Well Wishes' card for a friend recovering from a recent surgery.
and I made the 2nd a Birthday card. I think using this stencil in blue - the card would work for a guy or a girl.
I used Loll's technique of white embossing the sentiment on a black sentiment strip - it really gives a punch on the mostly white card. I layered my stenciled panels to a slightly larger black panel as well - and adhered it to the card base with foam dots.
I'm also linking my card to:
It was in the 90's here yesterday - so I was more than happy to stay inside in the airconditioning and play in my craft room!

CAS gorgeousness Julia! LOVE the stencil monoprint design. And always good when you can get a twofer! (as Darnell would say). It's sure hot where you are. We've had warm weather this past week too ... but closer to 75-80 degrees. I'm still happy to be in the A/C playing with art. :) Thanks so much for sharing your gorgeous cards with us at CAS Mix Up! x
Simply wonderful Julia! The stenciled background looks fantastic!
