My take on the CAS Mix Up May Stencil challenge... Rainbow Ink Blending..
Well I thought immediately of the rainbow colours of those Kaleidacolour pads that were the rage many years ago and wondered if there was enough 'juice' in my old pads .. not too bad
So my 'blending' is really what you can achieve with a brayer... and I started out thinking to brayer through the stencil, using both pads so I could get a rainbow -- no success at all - BUT - there was heaps of ink on the stencil, so I quickly placed my watercolour card panel on top and pressed firmly... a sneak look and I needed to lightly spritz with water... and whoopie it worked....the texture of the card doesn't give a smooth blend but you do get a cool outline of the stencil design. To finish I trimmed the panel and from my stash found this 'Hello' die cut (kindly sent from a friend) in metallic card, so found some matching card to give the panel a frame. Hope this is CAS enough -- I find it terribly hard to trim a panel when the whole thing is just lovely.
