The challenge this time has been set by Loll and is a Stencil one using 'Gels and/or Pastes'. I really hope you can join us if you've not already done so and don't forget to make your entry CAS!
I used a colour combo that I've seen several times before and it just appealed to me! Rocket Red and Peacock Feathers are not colours I would normally put together but I think they work well!
I used gesso for my stencil and once the gesso had dried I re-applied the stencil and sponged over it. Did a couple of random watercolour splodges with the Peacock Feathers D.Ox.
The flower is by Visible Image, stamped, coloured and fussy cut. Was a bit fiddly but managed it!
We've some lovely cards in our gallery - hope you are there too!
Thanks for looking! x
PS - Thank you to everyone who sent me cards and messages today, I've had a lovely birthday!

Now I know I have a stencil quite like this lovely - but do I have any usable paste??

Love the way you did the splotches with the gesso'd stencil! Beautiful colours!
I LOVE the texture of the gesso through a stencil for your background Viv. Adding the Peacock Feathers colours makes it stand out beautifully. LOVE the combination with your deep red rose. Gorgeous card! xx
Your gesso and watercolor are so pretty and perfect with this gorgeous red rose, Viv! Love this card! Happy, happy birthday, my friend!
Simple and gorgeous, love the texture stencilwork with the added colour, Robyn

Happy Birthday Viv ♥
Beautiful card, I love that colour combo of the red and the blue. Your stenciling has created the perfect CAS mixed media card :)
Beautiful card Viv. Love that background and the Rose focal point really draws the eye.
Belated birthday wishes going your way. Xxx
Those colours are good together and I wouldn't have thought of stencilling with gesso as a CAS technique but it really works well here. Happy Birthday!
Happy, happy Birthday Viv! Wishing you a beautiful day and year. Love the artsy feel of your card, just perfect for the challenge.
That flower just pops against the Peacock Feather background. I like how the splotches made such an interesting backdrop.
I love your artsy background for your pretty rose! Fab colours too:)
lovely card Viv...what a great background with the paste and stencil. Hope all is good with you. xx
I love aqua and red together and use it a lot on Christmas cards. Now, thanks to you, Vivi, I also love it for other occasions! You've created a cool background for your pretty red flower. I have more jars of gesso than paste and was glad to see how you used it/colored it for your awesome design!😙
p.s. Thank you for the gorgeous and vibrant birthday card! Love the design and the colors of the powder you used! Hugs, Dolly
First off ...... a very happy belated birthday Viv. Hope you had a lovely day.
Second ..... your card looks stunning! I love the texture and the colour combination, and I must say you've done an amazing job with the fussy cutting! xx
