Today is 1st of the month so time for a new challenge over at CAS Mix Up. This month we are using stencils our host is Loll and she wants us to She wants us to make a monoprint.
Our wonderful guest designer this month is Steph from My Paper Corner so don't forget to pay her a visit.
Unfortunately I didn't take a photo of my stencil but here is a link to it in case you are interested. It is a skeleton type so the ink went on the 'veins' of the leaf which you can see on the photo below. Once it was dry I fussy cut it out and mounted it on an embossed panel. The fern type leaves were die cut from a gel print that I found in by stash. The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
This is such a great technique to use with stencils so I hope you will find time to join us

What a very cool and interesting look from the leaf stencil you used, Hilary! The die cut ferns are perfect companions and I love the finish on them. It's all so perfectly CAS and gorgeous on your embossed background. Brilliant, really!

LOVE the autumn colours of your beautiful card, Hilary! The skeleton leaf makes a gorgeous monoprint. The collage of stenciled leaf, die-cut leaves, twine and sentiment is fabulous, especially over the textured, embossed background. xx
Gorgeous Autumn card! Brilliant idea to use a leaf stencil and die-cut leaf!
Those warm colors against that cool, textured white background it so effective. The twine adds just the right touch of rusticness with those ferny diecuts. The colored cardbase was the perfect way to round out your card.
Beautiful card and autumn colours and theme. xx
It looks impressive and I have to deal with the technique first.
I love your stencilled and cut out leaf monoprint Hillary and the accompanying die cut leaves all tied together with some rustic twine, and such a pretty 3D leaf stencilled background which coodinates beautifully. x
I love the colors in your monoprint, Hilary! It's such a pretty leaf and I love the contrast with the ferns!
gorgeous fall colours and love the die cut ♥
Gorgeous, Hilary! Love your Autumnal monoprint, the fabulous greenery, and embossing surely fit the bill!

Such a pretty autumn leaf with the monoprint Hilary, lovely card design!
Thoroughly beautiful fall time greeting. The tone-on-tone background is eye-catching, elegant, and such a great way to add visual interest and a touch of dimension, too, without tons of layers.
