a brilliant work of art

Hello there. today's card is a CAS one layer card inspired by the latest LIM challenge. the theme is to use a stencil.


So I decided to use a stencil that was still waiting it's turn same as the stamps. I started with the stencilling and distress ink. I used squeezed lemonade, spiced marmalade, abandoned coral, candied apple, wilted violet, seedless preserve, crushed olive and peeled paint.



 Then I stamped the sentiment and brush from Claritystamp in black archival and heat embossed in clear powder. Then I added the drips from a Visible Image set and again heat embossed. Same for the yellow paint splodge.

Finally I added some silver and black wink of stella to the paint brush. And there is my CAS offering for today, Theresa xx.


I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Simply Less is More -  recipe: use a stencil

  4. Perfect LIM entry and what a great idea to use multiple colours through the stencil which makes it go so well with the sentiment! I'm loving the shimmer on the paintbrush too :)
