If you've never done a stencil monoprint before I promise you will be hooked once you try it. There are some video links on the challenge blog to give you some tips and instructions, and whilst you're there have a look at the lovely examples done by my team mates and our Guest designer Lucie
So here's my card -
Once dry I cut out the inside frame with a stitched die.
The background behind was done by smooshing the colours on my craft mat with a small piece of watercolour card.I used a tiny 'circles' stamp (and it WAS tiny) inked in Salty Ocean. It reminded me of bubbles.
A simple white die cut anchor and a sentiment stamp finished it off.
I really enjoyed this challenge and hope that you will find time to make something using one of your stencils and share it with us in the gallery!

A great mix of colors for your wonderful monoprint stenciling Viv! Your beautiful white anchor is perfect for your nautical theme - love the little bubbles - just like it would be if the anchor was being let down off the boat to do it's job! xx

These colors are wonderful, Viv! I love how the stencil monoprint makes the frame and the pretty anchor!
Stencil monoprinting is fun Viv and I love the chevrons which looks great in the blues and the yellow has mixed to make a pretty green too. The anchor goes beautifully in the centre of the aperture and a great sentiment too. x
You are right they are great colours, I love how you have used your print, very creative xx
