Addicted to CAS ~ Challenge #278

Hey Friends! Time for a new challenge at Addicted to CAS. It's my turn to be host and I chose

Here's my card

When I chose this Code Word, I don't recall if I had a plan. So, I had to look through my collection of stencils for some inspiration. I pulled this stencil by Lawn Fawn, called String of Lights Background that I received as part of Scrapbook & Cards Today's Crop & Create Delivered Fall 2024 event. I used the stencil and pieces of post-it tape to try to keep the colors separate. I should invest in tiny ink blending brushes so that I'll have better control of where the color goes. I used distress inks - picked raspberry, spiced marmalade, mustard seed, mowed lawn, mermaid lagoon and wilted violet for the lights and twisted citron for the foliage and weathered wood for the string, all applied with oval ink blending brushes. I retrospect, perhaps my string of lights is a bit high. It might have looked better a little lower down. Oh well. For the sentiment, I used Scrapbook & Cards Today's Jolly Holiday stamp set from their July 2024 event along with silver embossing powder. I adhered the A2 panel to a A2 white card base to complete my card.

We'd love to see which stencils you used and how you used them in our gallery this fortnight.
