This month's challenge at CAS Mix Up is called 'Stencil Tracing' and has been set by Nancy.
There are a couple of ways to do this really simple technique - Nancy has links on her blog to several different examples and there's also plenty of inspiration from the DT over at the CAS Mix Up blog.
We also have "Three" very talented Guest Designers this month as they all were
Top Picks for the May CAS Mix Up, CAS Stencil and CAS Watercolour Challenges:-)

Gorgeous CAS Creative Stencil Tracing cards
This is a one layer card that took very little time to do - the longest time part was masking off the actual face and leaving the rest!
The stencil is from Funky Fossil and I blended some bright coloured inks (Violet/Raspberry/Amber).
Before removing the stencil I outlined it with a black sharpie.
Some ink spattering and a little blending round the edge of the card to finish before stamping the Visible Image sentiment.
Once completed I thought that maybe it wasn't 'CAS' enough as I went a bit mad with the ink spatters! In the end the consensus was that there was definitely enough uncluttered space to qualify.
This is the second month of our new look CAS Mix Up and hope to see you in the gallery!
Happy Stencilling! x

Love that ink blending on your stencil, great masking too. What a fine example of the technique. Your card is finished off perfectly with that lovely splattered background and the sentiment xx
Ah! This is so fresh, summery and feminine. Wonderful colors and a great choice of stencil for this trace technique.
Just love the colours you have used, what a great mix. A really great stamp too.

Now thats three colours I would not think to put together but my how they work here. Love the CAS look. Rained heavily here to day. Went and sat in the summer house for my breakfast then got stuck in there for 2 hrs whilst it rained. Would have gotten drowned like a rat just running up the garden path back to the house.
