Aug Cas Stencil Reminder

Hello,
Today I have a reminder for the August CAS Stencil Challenge. If you haven't already entered you still have time. The challenge is hosted this month by Robyn of Water Lily Cards.












I have used cosmic shimmer spray again for my reminder card which I hope will bring a little ray of sunshine to your day.


I put a piece of post it tape across my panel and inked it up with DI, I then laid on the stencil (from Clarity Stamp) and sprayed the cosmic shimmer. As you can see I did get a bit of bleeding and pooling but it really doesn't detract from the overall effect of the shimmery rays. I used a stitched rectangle die for the panel, added the die cut sentiment and mounted it onto silver card - done.


If you read my first post for this challenge you will know that I shared some of my early attempts with using a spray with stencils but managed to rescue them and create a set of notecards. Here are the final 2 cards that I made from that process:





The imperfection in the spraying is more marked in the photos as in trying to show the shine, the light has caught the blobs more!

Anyway I hope I might have inspired you to take part in the challenge.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.
