Happy Little Stampers April CAS Challenge


Hello...back to work after Easter Break, had so much fun being off for 10 days and being crafty and making lots of things! This card was so much fun to make and I would never in a million years have tried this. It was pretty quick and easy too. Watercolored the back of a stencil, sprayed it was water and then flipped it onto water color paper, let it dry and then stamp away! See, quick and easy! So I hope you will find the time to play along with us at Happy Little Stampers.

  12. This is supre fun, Kim. Love how you were able to get so many different colors on your stencil, and none of them ran together and turned brown.

  20. KIM!! Remember me?! March was a blur and my two week Spring Break (such incredibly fun, especially spending time with my niece, nephew and mom)) sees me falling, yet again, behind in comments. Catching up now! I'm intrigued by this technique, and WOW! You've created a real beauty; gorgeous background for my all-time favourite images...
