Group of Seven Card makers - Stencil Monoprint

Hi everyone, it's time for the Group of Seven Cardmakers Monthly Technique. This month we are doing some Stencil Monoprints an old but fun technique.

Lee-Anne Cross created this video for Split coast stampers which explains how to create a stencil mono print if you have never done one before.

It's an old but fun technique which can be done by smooshing ink pads over a stencil or sprinkling powdered inks and spritzing with water then placing the inked side on card. To mop up the excess water place a piece of kitchen roll over the stencil.

Just a note when using stencils with words or numbers to check the inked side to make sure they are the correct way round and not mirror imaged. The ink goes on the back when you read the letters or numbers.

Stencil mono printing and UFO's

For my card I used this Carabelle stencil and Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals to create my monoprint background.  You can't see the shimmer but I'm sure you all know it's there IRL.

I cut the background using a stamplorations wonky stitch die and mounted it on white foam.

The  butterfly is a Tim Holtz (Sizzix) die, it's so perfect for using up those really bright bold backgrounds that you almost throw out because you used way too much ink.

the sentiment is from a retired rubbernecker set 😠

Here is the Mixed Media piece that the back of the butterfly was die cut from, it almost made it's way into the garbage, and yes there's a second card to appear soon.

About a year of so ago I used way way too much ink sprayed on Mixed media paper. That amount of colour was perfect for this die cut. The black outline tones down the amount of colour on the sheet.. 

I sprayed the butterfly with Imagine sheer shimmer spray which made it very sparkly.

I'm entering this card for the following challenges

CAS MIX up (stencil mono printing stamping and my Choice die cut)

the Butterfly Challenge (F- Fuchia and French blue)

I hope you like my card and I'd love to hear from you 😀.
