I posted earlier tonight my first brusho / stencil experiment. I loved how it turned out. It was nice and controlled. I stayed within the lines for the most part.
I created these panels all at the same time. After selecting one for my last post, these were the remaining panels. I decided to make them into cards as well.
I'll be submitting these to CAS Stencil, International Art & Soul, Simon's Wednesday Challenge and AAA Cards.
This is the intended piece, created with torquoise brushos and a fern stencil. Again this stencil has a tacky back so it stays in place. I blocked off the edges so there would be no over-spray into the upper panel area. This card is being submitted to AAA Card, CAS Stencil and Simon's Wednesday Challenge.
There was a lot of color left over, so I laid a piece of watercolor paper on the top of the stencil after I had taken off the piece above. I love all the color on this. This will be submitted to International Art and Soul a new to me challenge calling for a monochromatic card.
After getting the above panel, it seemed as if there was still some watercolor left to play with, so I dropped another panel onto the stencil. I needed a card for my Godson's Dad who just had a knee replaced, so I thought this might work. I'll be submitting this to another new to me blog, Crafty Animals.
Lastly, is the second piece made from my first piece on my previous post. I wasn't originally sure that It would work out. Red and green blending end up making brown, so I wanted to see how it dried. I like that it is so different from anything I usually make.
Thanks so much for coming by, and especially if you made it through to the end.

Looks like you've had lots of fun playing with stencils and powdered inks, Cat! All your pieces are fantastic. Very artsy and colours cards. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Stencil!
You're on a roll with your stencilling Cat! Fantastic makes, it's a lot of fun seeing what appears when you lift them up isn't it? Cathy x
A tacky backed stencil - sounds ideal! Love how you've used it with all the stunning turquoise, a real feast for the eyes. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards, hope to see you joining in with future challenges too.
Lovely cards, I really am impressed that you made them all into cards so fast. I have this tendency to have a pile of backgrounds sitting on my desk.
Wow, they are all wonderful xx
Wonderful cards Cat! Your stencil work is so pretty.
Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Your gorgeous Brushos stenciled backgrounds, Cat are a perfect example of how you can not make just ONE stenciled background with Brushos. I love your original positive fern image and your negative pulls with the leftover ink. Your finished cards are all stunning too. TFS all your beauties and sharing your 1st card with us at CAS Stencil Card Challenge. Hugs..Nancy
Cat I think it's obvious you're having tons of fun with those brushos! WOw - I LOve the blue [yes, I know, but promise this IS me] and that swirling sensational stencil! Let me not leave out that bandaged little mouse - so sweet!

Great job playing with your leftovers, Cat! I love how you stepped out of your comfort zone with these cards...they're amazing! So happy you played along with us again at CAS Stencil!
What a great idea to make use of all of the pieces you created! Fun set of cards.
Wowzer--what a wonderful array of cards from your play session! I think they're all neat, but I especially love the first one!
Isn't if fun playing with stencils and brushos Cat!?! Love this one in the blue and then all of your negative prints making 3 more lovely cards! Thanks for sharing (again) with the CAS Stencil challenge! xx
Oooh, Cat, I can see you are experiencing what happened to me after last year's retreat with Lolly where she and the other ladies taught me about Brushos (and Lindy Magicals!) and stencils and inky monoprints. It's hard not to be mesmerized by the results and want to see how you can design cards with them. You have done that here with these sensational mixed media cards! It's as if you've been doing it for years and I love them all!! Hugs, Darnell
I cannot get on with Brushos but you have got a fantastic result. Thanks for sharing with us this month. Lisa DT Crafty Animals

What a fabulous collection, Cat ... you've sure been enjoying those 'experiments' ... and what delicious results! My favourite is the first ... such vibrant colour against all that glorious white ... CAS at it's best! Hugs, Anita :)
