Happy Saturday. This month, I have had the honor of being the Guest Designer at the Addicted to CAS Challenge blog. This week the code word is "SUN". Such a perfect inspirational word for this time of the year.
I masked the edges of the front panel then placed my stencil on my card stock. I then sponged on Ripe Persimmon, Festive Berries, Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade Distress ink over my stencil. I kept moving my stencil slightly after each sponging. It gave me a lovely look of rays of sunshine coming down. I sprinkled some water drops onto the ink for interest. I removed the mask then stamped the sentiment and mounted the panel with pop dots.
I am also adding my card to these challenges:
Simon Says- YOU GOTTA HAVE FRIENDS
Simply Create Too- YOUR SENTIMENT IS HIGHLIGHT
Brown Sugar- STRIPES OR DOTS
"Just Us Girls" Challenge- YELLOW, ORANGE, NEUTRAL

Supplies: stamps- Technique Tues./ stencil-Tim Holtz/ pop dots/ Distress ink/ bl Memento ink
