Hi everyone. Today is the start of the first challenge of the year at CAS Stencil. Not only is it our first challenge (hosted by the amazingly talented Nancy - scandinancy creates), but it's also our first anniversary. Have to say that the past year went by WAY too fast! :)
We hope you'll join us to celebrate our first birthday at CAS Stencil!
We hope you'll join us to celebrate our first birthday at CAS Stencil!
Nancy would like you to use a new (or unused stencil) from your stash to create your CAS Stencil card. Use any techniques or products you want and have fun!
For my card above, I used a new-to-me stencil from Simon Says Stamp called Tumbling Leaves. I first saw this stencil on a stunning card designed by Cat (Cat Luvs Paper ), click HERE to see Cat's card. I then HAD to buy this stencil. :) Used magical powders to create a stencil monoprint ... my favourite stencil technique.
We are thrilled to have Arlene (Sundaystamper Papercrafts) as our Guest Designer this month. Thank you Arlene!

You are right that is a pretty amazing stencil and it works so well as a monoprint. I love the colours and the softness at the edge which is beautifully contrasted by the black sentiment strip and gold hello. Thanks so much for inviting me to join your design team xx
Happy first anniversary to you and the team, Loll. Beautiful card and stencil. Your Magicals monoprint looks amazing. Great design with the black sentient strip too.
Really like this Loll - am hooked on monoprinting too I think!
I like this stencil too.... {sighs} - LOL! x
a year has certainly gone by fast Loll.
Wonderful monoprint with such gorgeous colours :)
Your monoprint stenciling looks like a burning bush in the colors you used Loll - wonderful bright hot colors! (opposite of the watercolour challenge - but we could use those colors to put out your fire here!) The black strip is so effective in stopping the eye! a beautiful card! xx
WOW! Your Lindy's Magical Powders really made the leaves pop on this card, Loll! Such a great idea to use monoprinting for your technique and a black sentiment strip for contrast! Love this fabulous work of art! xx
You do such a wonderful job with that technique and get such a crisp image. Love these colors and the design of this. I have no idea how you come up with so many unique cards so quickly. Beautiful card!
This is a pretty stencil and I love how you've used it with the Magicals! I'm sure the magicals give it a wonderful shimmer too!
Oh wow - another technique to try - I too bought that stencil! Thanks!
Happy 1st Anniversary!! Your card using the leaf stencil is very pretty with awesome color!!
Gorgeous stencil monoprint leaves background, Loll. One of my very favorite stencil techniques. I love your choice of Magicals powder colors and can just imagine the beautiful shine from the Magicals. TFS my friend and a very Happy 1st Birthday to your wonderfully creative CAS Stencil Challenge:-) I feel so privileged to be on the very talented Design Team. All the DT and GD cards this month are so Gorgeous and Inspiring! Love and Hugs..Nancy

This takes my breath away! The way the color floated is amazing.
Lovely, lovely card Loll, and now I HAD to have that stencil too, so it is sitting in my shopping cart! Love the colors you used for your monoprint and the layout design too! Beautiful card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Happy 1st anniversary, Loll! I can't believe it's been already one year since you were talking about this new challenge! What a successful year for the challenge thanks to your and your team's fantastic work!
The magicals monoprint looks fabulous! Love all the different shades of colors I see between the leaves. I'm sure the shimmer is so pretty in real life. The black sentiment strip is a great design element.

Happy anniversary! Those Magicals live up to their name, Loll. I love the colors they made for the background.
Such a unique effect from the monoprint technique Loll and one stunning card x.
Beautiful card Loll, the monoprint is gorgeous, stunning mix of colours. Might have to add that stencil to my ever growing wish list lol! Cathy x
Absolutely stunning, Loll, but I can't even wrap my head around how you're doing this! It's pretty amazing tho
Gorgeous and rich, Loll ... the variegated colour is just lovely! Hugs, Anita :)
Fabulous mix of Magical Powders for your stencil monoprint, I'm loving that stencil too, a wonderful card Loll, Robyn
Wonderful monoprint with your new stencil, Loll. Gorgeous colours! I can't believe CAS Stencil has already been running for a year! Congratulations on its success!
Great idea for a layout with a stencil, Loll! I love stencils but I am always looking for new layout ideas rather than just stenciling the whole panel. Love how the black strip and gold offsets the bottom so beautifully!!!
You do the best mono printing and this one is spectacular. I can see why you love this stencil. A fab card dear Loll. xx
WOW! What a fabulous stencil and great results from the mono printing too! xx
I love this blurry background effect in contrast to the sharp image of white leaves. Amazing technique and great skills.
Hugs,
