I mixed up some Lindy's Magicals Autumn Maple Crimson with water and created my background with a new Catherine Pooler stencil from her Unsinkable Collection (Shell Parade) to come up with this:
I think I probably added too much water when I was mixing up my spray because the color came out so much lighter than I expected, but I have to admit that I'm really liking this soft pink color! There is a very subtle sheen to the background too because of the Lindy's Magicals, but I just could not get the camera to pick it up! IRL the shimmer is so pretty! I used the PTI Pierced Feature Frame dies to die cut the white frame and the inner stenciled rectangle, and then added my sentiment from CP's Vitamin Sea stamp set. The sand dollar and sea plant die cuts are both from Gina Marie Design dies.
I finished off my card with a simple piece of white crochet thread and called it good! :0)
Lots of beautiful examples from the DT and even videos to watch if you've never used sprays with stencils before over at the CAS Stencil site right HERE. This challenge is open till Aug. 24th.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

Gorgeous card, Marcia! I love the pastel pink sprayed background with your lovely stenciled pattern! Great idea to include the sand dollar and plant sprigs, too! I'll bet the shimmery effect of your sprays is amazing in real life :)
So glad you joined in the fun at CAS Stencil!
So very pretty, Marcia...I adore the softness of the pink... and enjoy recalling our Scrapfest shopping! I don't use that sand dollar die often enough!

What a pretty pink and such smooth spraying. I love the stencil imprint that's perfect with the pretty sand dollar and coral! I need you to give me lessons on spraying!
This is so pretty. I like the shade of pink with the shell stencil. The white die cut frame and coral and sand dollar look great with the soft pink. TFS
So very pretty, Marcia ... the pink sprayed stencil background is dreamy ... fabulous with the little ocean elements! This would be perfect at Time Out this fortnight ... our theme is Relaxation ... and that's just what your card suggests! Hugs, Anita :)
