This is my CAS ART card for CASology: Week 206 ART Challenge. I was inspired to use my STAMPlorations "ART IS" Stamp Set that has 6 pieces relating to ART! I also used my ARTplorations "Shower of Flutters" Stencil Mask for my main image and my new CUTplorations "Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Die" for the border.
I made some shimmer spray using water and Frost White Shimmer Paint in a mini mister and sprayed the entire card front.
I used a blending tool to sponge SU Flirty Flamingo and Peekaboo Peach onto my stencil mask then spritzed with water and placed on my Strathmore 140# Mixed Media paper using a paper towel to press down on the back of the inked stencil for good ink coverage. I lifted off the stencil and used a wet paint brush to move the ink around each butterfly. I loved how the 2 colors blended and the light and dark effect on each butterfly.
I then Die cut my border, stamped my sentiment with SU Archival Basic Gray ink using my MISTI. Added a bit of WASHI tape for balance and attached to my SU Whisper White Thick tent fold Card Base....and Voila' quick and easy CAS ART card done.

Oh, Nancy, I LOVE this stencil and your beautiful colors! I recently purchased some items from STAMPlorations, one of them being a stencil that Karen Dunbrook has used. I am eager to try it, especially after seeing the beautiful results you've achieved! I love how you've also added a bit of washi tape - very cool idea! Beautifully done, my friend! Big hugs!
