Guest Designing at CAS Stencil

Hello-



I can't tell you how thrilled I was to have been asked to Guest Design by Loll at CAS Stencil.  I love all the CAS challenges (Stencil, Watercolor, Mix it up, and Christmas).  I always learn something each month.

This month's  stencil challenge is:


There are several videos over at the main challenge page for CAS Stencil to walk you through the technique.



I chose a Penny Black stencil, pressed my versamark ink pad directly to the paper through the stencil.   I then added copper embossing powder from Ranger and finished with heating. Next I added the little sentiment from CTMH and heat embossed it as well. I die cut the panel and mounted it on a pale gray card base.

Thanks so much for playing along; I really hope to see you in the gallery!
