The new challenge over at CAS Mix Up is a Stencil Monoprint
Loll's Message
Stencil Monoprint is my favourite stencil technique.
You start by inking the stencil, spritzing with water or shimmer spray.
You turn it over onto a clean piece of card that can take water, pressing down with a paper towel to absorb any excess ink.
This gives you a negative image of your stencil.
Instead of colouring the design or image on a stencil, you are colouring the background.
I hope you enjoy this technique as much as I do.

Welcome to our wonderful Guest Designer
I have done this technique before but not for quite some time... and having just done it again I can't think why it's been so long! It's great fun and gives a terrific effect.
I used a stencil from the Crafter's Workshop and inked it with Villainous Potion, Dusty Concord and Milled Lavender Distress Oxide inks before spritzing it with water and then taking a print from it. I love this tiny dot stencil and it makes for successful prints every time.
The butterfly is from Memory Box and with a few random pearls was finished.
It would be great to see lots of you joining in with this fun technique!
Beautiful monoprint stenciled background for your Gorgeous die cut butterfly, Chrissie. Happy Holidays and look forward to playing with you next year:-) Love and Hugs...Nancy

ReplyDeleteVillainous Potion is a beautiful strong colour and looks great for this monoprinting technique Chrissie, and the contrast with the white die cut butterfly and the pearls makes it all the more striking. x
