The CAS Mix Up Challenge for August is
Stencil Monoprint.....
Hosted by the wonderfully talented Nancy.....
The design team and our fabulous guest designer Cathy from Cathy's Card Spot
have wonderful inspiration for you over on the blog.
There are video's links too, to inspire you further......
This is my card....
I have used Brusho's with the stencil, stamping and my choice is heat embossing
I sprinkled different shades of Brusho's through the stencil
and sprayed with water to activate them.
The sentiment and the grasses have been stamped with grey archival ink.
The butterfly has been heat embossed with white
and the rectangle layer edged with gold heat embossing.
I flipped the stencil over, whilst it was still wet and this is my other card....
Not CAS but artsy and it's great to get two cards from the one technique.
The sentiment was stamped in black first and then gold heat embossed on top,
which produces a subtle effect, so much so it looks very dark in the photo!
The Monoprint challenge is a fun one, which produces unique effects.
Pop across and admire the fabulous cards from the design team and the wonderful Cathy.
I am looking forward to seeing your wonderful creativity in the gallery.
Thank you so much for popping in...And I'm Loving my background Loll xxx

Wow, that card is delightful! I love the sunny choice of color and flower motif. Great job!
Two beautifully designed cards Mac, I love the colours and your layouts, Kate x
Two wonderful designs using your Brushos and flower stencil Mac! Love the colors! The little gray grasses are so pretty on the first and I love how you made that little square spotlight on the 2nd! (I got that same background from Loll - I finally got it mounted on foam board - but haven't made any cards to photograph yet!! It looks like a real plank of peeling paint wood!) Julia xx
Two beautiful cards using your positive and negative stencil monoprint samples, Mac. I love your Brushos color choices. TFS both your cards and the cool effect that you can see on your 2nd card close up showing the gold shine over the black archival ink stamped sentiment. I have heat embossed with clear eb powder over the archival black, but never a gold, etc. I will have to try. TFS my friend. Hugs...
What a stunning result you've gotten from the stnecil and brushos! I think if I tried it, I would make a mess of it! LOL! I love that you were able to get a second design from it too! The colors and details are gorgeous! TFS! HUGS
Those brusho's are pots of magic and you certainly have worked your's with these cards. Stunning results and i'm always in awe when I see how perfect your CAS style cards are. A delightful duo.
Thank you as always for your wonderful inspiration.
Creative wishes Tracey xx
Bravo, both cards are beauties. Loving your colour choice of Brushos, these cards are delightful.
I love the small die cut flower stamped friend, such a special approach Mac. Your right the gold thanks adds a special touch. Great cards dear friend, loving them both xx
A lovely and very sweet card - well done!
Fantastic results from your dual monprints Mac!! Love both the positive and the negative. Gorgeous colours and beautiful designs for both. Both are CAS mixed media, in my opinion!
LOVE your backdrop ... that is one cool piece of peeling, worn wood.:) xx
one of the best techniques to be able to get two techniques out of one sprinkle. Love your daisy backgrouds :)
Wow, Mac, what a clever mind you have, and so creative! I love the wonderful details of your first card (amazing that you managed those gorgeous flowers using Brusho in a stencil. But what totally blew my mind was the second card which you achieved simply by flipping your stencil. I would never have thought of that and look at the gorgeous card I would have missed making. Wow! Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
Fabulous choice of brusho's Mac and love the designed cards. Lovely technique too.xxx
Ooh what amazing cards! Love the Brusho's with the stencilling and the lovely delicate grey stamped grasses on the first. The second is fab with the cool artisy background and I love the cut out piece for 'friend'! The colours you used are just yummy! xxx
This is stunning - so pretty. I don't have much success with Brushos through stencils but you've done an amazing job!

2 fabulous cards Mac, gorgeous colours you've used and it's such a fun technique! Cathy x
Such cheery colours Mac! Really lifts a dull day like today here in SW UK! Thank you so very much for coming by today, I don't deserve everyone's loyalty, but am humbled and grateful to have it! Have a lovely day my friend! Hazel xx
Every single time I see you use Brushos I am inspired! This is something I don't have and never do but love love the result! Both projects are incredible. Big hugs, Autumn
The colors are sooo pretty and I love how you made two cards. Both are so pretty!
These are both so pretty. I love this technique and want to try it. The flowers on the first card are so pretty and varied in gorgeous colors. I love the blend of colors on the second card and the white blooms really stand out.
These are gorgeous! Love the warm golden colours. I think both are CAS perfect! xx
Two beautiful cards! Love the way they resulted from the same stencil and brushos yet look totally different. Lovely blend of warm sunny colours!
Great way to use your Brushos. I've never tried them through a stencil. Very effective and looks fabulous. Thanks for playing with us this week at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.
Stunning work Mac, must try my brushos.

Two fantastic cards using this stencil, Mac! Love your bright colors and the sweet flowers! Both the positive and negative prints are gorgeous! I think I'm going to have to add this stencil to my list!
Wow you really have made a CAS card here M. Love the bright bold colours from your Brusho's and stencil. Fabulous not quite so CAS card with that dimension and the big gold sentiment. Another great challenge this month.
2 amazing cards, Mac! I especially love the second one! Beautifully creative--love the gold embossing on both!
A twofer, Mac ... and both are gorgeous! I'm especially taken with the first ... it's delicate, dreamy and deliciously whimsical ... what a fabulous technique, beautifully showcased! Hugs, Anita :)
Wonderful pair of cards Mac - love the vibrant colours of the brushos!

This is gorgeous with the bright Brushos Mac and a great curved sentiment and sweet butterfly, and love the second print which worked well too, and love the large die cut sentiment with it. x

Great way to get two cards from the same stencilling. Love your bright and summery colours. Hugs Mrs A.

You've done such a splendid look with the brusho & stencil technique. These flowers are perfect to say "Hot sunny summertime". It's a beautiful card. I love the black and gold embossed technique you did on the 2nd card too. (equally gorgeous). I'd never thought to try that, but it did give a wonderful effect on the sentiment! Well done on both cards! TFS & Hugs
Your flowers are so gorgeous. I love the colors.
Fantastic, artsy , bright and happy creations! Love them both,
Two captivating cards, Mac. Made the same stencil, but so different. I was especially delighted with the second card, where your background looks like a hot summer day. WOW!
Hugs,
BożenA
