CAS Cards with KOI!

When I first saw this Dreamweaver "Carp" Stencil, I knew I had to have ii.  I love Koi fish!  They are beautiful and hold much meaning.

I used my stencil to make a CAS Father's Day card for Great Grandpa.


I began by taping the metal stencil to my cardstock and running it through my bigshot to emboss the image.  While the stencil was still taped on, I rubbed my VersMark Ink Pad over the stencil, then using stencil brushes, I applied "Teal Zircon""Kiwi""Sunflower" and "Celadon" Luminarte Mica Powders to the Koi images.  Before removing the stencil, I flipped it upside down and tapped off any excess powder.  After removing the stencil, I sprayed it with a clear glaze to set the powder.

My husband really liked that card, so I decided to keep with the Koi for his and my father's Father's Day card.  I taped my Dreamweaver "Carp" Stencil to my cardstock and ran through my bigshot.  While the stencil was still taped on, I went to town with  sponge daubers and various distress inks.  For how-tos, you can see my previous stencils post HERE.

Just mat and you are good to go!



Hope you have an awesome weekend!
