CAS Mix Up Challenge

 Hello friends.  This is my 2nd post today, scroll down for my card for The Paper Players.

This card is for the CAS Mix Up Challenge - Gesso with Stencils

 

 

I was inspired by this card of Bonnie's and also watched the video she indicated she watched.  I love the soft background she did so mine is similar.

 

 I used Tim Holtz Roses Layering Stencil with Gesso.  Some of the image is not as distinctive as others but it is still pretty to me.  After the gesso dried, I blended Speckled Egg, Squeezed Lemonade and Kitsch Flamingo DOI over the panel.  I die cut it with a stitched rectangle die and adhered it to the card base.  I stamped the sentiment from SU Peaceful Moments in the bottom right corner.  I stamped the butterfly from SU Butterfly Brilliance in SU Smokey Slate ink and colored it with Copics to give it a soft look, die cut it with the matching die, and glued it down just in the center.  I tried stamping it in black and coloring it the same way, but it was too stark on the soft background.  I enjoyed this technique and will have to try it again..

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

JoAnn
