Good morning friends. I had to try this monoprint technique for the CAS Mix UP challenge. They have several links to explain this technique so I watched all of them and then gave it a try. (I am getting lots of practice with the CAS style) ☺
ETA: wow, my card was chosen as one of the Outstanding Designs on CAS Mix Up challenge.

I used an adhesive stencil from the Dollar Tree and 4 Distress Oxide Inks - Twisted Citron, Picked Raspberry, Broken China, and Fossilized Amber. Like the tutorial said I smooshed them all over the stencil, sprayed it liberally with water and then lifted it, turned it over and pressed it against another piece of card. I like the final result but it was kind of hard with the sticky back stencil, I like the flower design, but will have to try it with another stencil. Then I die cut this lovely Poppy Stamps Floral Stem Collage from a panel the same size as my card base and adhered it over the monoprint piece. I adhere the whole panel to the front of my card base and added a tiny pink enamel dot to the flower center. I stamped the sentiment from Penny Black Birthday Wheels underneath the opening.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
