CAS Stencil Challenge - Ghosting

The March challenge on the CAS Stencil Challenge Blog is to use the Ghosting Technique and there are many examples and tutorials around on the internet and probably elsewhere.  I started by sponging  three colours of Distress Oxide in a fairly heavy layer onto some white card, placing a stencil on top.  This was spritzed with water and the stencil lifted immediately to avoid water running under the edges of the design.  After leaving the water for a short while the piece was blotted with a kitchen towel which has lifted some of the ink - causing the ghosting effect.  As this is a CAS style of card I simply glued the panel in place and added a die cut flower silhouette and a stamped sentiment.




Inks - Wilted Violet, Cracked Pistachio and Picked Raspberry
Flower - Tim Holtz die from Wildflower stems #2
Sentiment - magazine freebie stamp

    This is gorgeous Val. I love the colours and the effect is one of my favourites to use with stencils. I had not heard of this challenge before but might just have to go and join in, after all I have mountain of under used stencils in the cupboard.

    This is really beautiful Val. Great work with ghosting ... your background is so pretty. A simple silhouette flower is the perfect addition. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
