There's no excuse anymore because the CAS Mix Up August Challenge is Stencil Monoprint! 😊 I'm so excited to get to try this technique with the tutorial videos and wonderful sample cards provided in the challenge site! Thanks so much, Nancy, for hosting another fun challenge this month!
And here's my card:
Using Stencil Monoprint, Die-cutting, and Stamping
The cornflowers were die cut. Two dark brown ones for the shadows and dimension, and one white one for the top.
I stamped the sentiment with Pumice Stone.
I liked the summery feelings of the card.
The challenge has just started and is open until August 24. Hoping to see your Stencil Monoprint card in the gallery.
Thanks for visiting me today!
