CAS Stencil - Smile

Greetings!

Playing in the CAS Stencil - Alcohol Lift/Alcohol Inks challenge.  On an AI background in my pile the ink was lifted using rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball dabbed through a sunflower stencil. A section of the alcohol-lifted panel was selected for the card. A die cut sentiment was added. The overlay panel was raised using foam tape. A pierced die-cut frame was added for interest.

Twofer - Garden

Greetings!

Today, it is play day at Twofer - Garden Challenge. My conventional entries include a Cutting Garden (Hello There) and a Container Garden (Happiest of Birthdays) using 3 stamps on each from the MFT Doodle Blooms (retired).  (If only one stamp is allowed, the default is to the largest bloom.) In the Cutting Garden the centers of the blooms were embellished with gold sequins. All images were colored using Prismacolor Pencils. For the Container Garden the blooms were stamped/masked.  The container was created using a (present) stamp from a MFT birthday collection.

CAS Watercolour - cheers to you

Hello!

Just picked this peony bouquet from my garden for Darnell's birthday!  The celebration is on the CAS Watercolour Challenge blog. This bouquet was created by stamping and masking, dabbing Distress Oxide inks with a dauber and cotton swab in two shades of pink Distress Oxide ink, spitzing with water to make the colors run/blotting with a paper towel, then painting with clear Wink of Stella to make the colors run a little more. The leaves were colored using the same process (although no WOS on them). The bouquet was masked to blend the back ground then lightly spritzed. The sentiments were stamped over the bottom of the bouquet. Extra sparkle, of course, was created using silver sequins.

CAS Stencil and Mixup - Thinking of You

Hello!

Playing in the following challenges:
.. CAS Mixup- alcohol lift, plus stamping, die cutting
.. CAS Stencil - alcohol lift alcohol/alcohol ink
Placed the flower stencil over a red AI panel in my pile. Lifted the ink with rubbing alcohol and cotton ball until almost white. Then using a blending tool, sponged Wild Plum ink through the stencil petals. The flower center is Ranger AI Dandelion.  Lifted the stencil and noticed that some of the alcohol seeped under the stencil during the lift off process ... this worked OK ... added lighter color definition around the flower.

Thank you for visiting ... always appreciate your feedback.
