CAS Stencil January Challenge

Hello Stencillers!
Welcome back to a brand new challenge at CAS Stencil and there are celebrations going on because CAS Stencil is ONE! Yes, we're having a birthday and to celebrate we are offering a fab prize to one of our visitors who links up their creation in our gallery!

The theme this month has been chosen by the lovely Nancy who's set us  the task of  'Use A New Stencil'
So perfect for you to get out the Christmas pressies and start stencilling!
My only problem was which one of my new stencils to use...... 😄😄

In the end I chose a Creative Expressions mini stencil and did a mono print using Fossilized Amber and Mowed Lawn DI's.

This colour combo cheered me up and made me think of Spring - although I don't dislike Winter at all, I sometimes wish the long dark nights weren't quite as long and dark!  

The cone flowers are a Sizzix die painted with watercolours.

Our Guest Designer this month is  Arlene and she and the rest of the Design Team have done some fab cards to inspire you - although with new stash AND the chance to win I bet you won't need any prompting!

Thanks for looking today - looking forward to seeing all your creations in the gallery!

Yes Viv..this reminds me of spring with its lovely zingy colours. I guess it will be here before we have time to appreciate it! xx

I love the colours too, they do indeed cheer you up. There are so many stencils that work really well as a monoprint that I am going to have to use the technique more often xx

So pretty Viv and love the green and orange which goes beautifully with the pretty cone flowers and love the framing and the way the flowers spill out of it, and the sentiment in a lovely shade of green too. x
