Thinking of You

 

Happy to find a Stencil Mono-print in my stash from previous experimenting with this cool technique... which is the challenge for November at CAS Mix Up.
  • I had used a stencil from The Craft Stall, and inked with Distress Oxides.. not sure of the colours.  Trimmed the panel and ran the edge over Abandoned Coral DI pad - this helps break the starkness when using a white card
  • Die cut two sprigs - in dark red, coral using Sizzix Delicate Leaves... for the first time an NBUS die set
  • Lastly stamped the sentiment from Close to my Heart: Beloved Bouquet set, with Versamark on black card and heat embossed with white EP
  • Attached all the elements to a square card and using foam tape on the sentiment strip

I am also joining in with the November NBUS challenge #32

Thanks for stopping by my blog,  have a Wonderful Creative day,   Cheers  Robyn


This is the stencil I used... and as it is made of thicker plastic you can get a bit of an outline when you press down as you transfer the ink


And here's me on a camp trip 2 weeks back starting my latest crochet project ... a Hexagon Cardigan..

  1. That's a very special monoprint, I love the outline, it almost looks like it has been drawn round. Those die cut leaves go perfectly with it and such a gorgeous colour. Thanks for joining us this month at CAS Mix Up. It is always a pleasure to see you in the gallery xx

  4. What a great card Robyn - love the colours, and the monoprint makes a great background!!
    Your crochet is beautiful - love the the pattern - that looks intriguing but relatively simple to work. Great use of colour there too :)
    Stay safe
