The current challenge at CAS Mix Up is monoprinting with a stencil. I was inspired by all the fabulous cards of the DT and by the videos they provided that I wanted to have a play. Looking through my stencils I came across this flower one from Plaid Folk Art which worked really well. I made three cards to use every scrap of the panel! (I thought I had plenty of time to enter them but then time ran away from me and now I am entering almost at the last minute...)
I recently ordered the German label sentiment set from Altenew! I send a lot of cards to my German relatives and friends and even though they all understand "Happy Birthday" I thought it would be nice to make some cards with German sentiments for them.
This German sentiment is a wood mounted stamp by an unknown company that a friend gave me. The flower is a punch. Not sure I have ever used it before...

On the first two cards I used the Avery Elle Rose Gold embossing powder. My blogging friend Greta was kind enough to send me some of her sequins that match the EP perfectly and I used some on the second card! Thanks again, Greta!
Be well and keep in touch!

a symphony in blue, very pretty. Thnak you for playing at AAA cards
Deine Karten sehen aus wie der Sommerhimmel bei uns, jeden Tag strahlend blau, gelegentlich mal Federwolken. Toll Deine deutschen Texte. Auch wenn wir englisch verstehen, deutsch ist unsere Muttersprache und Texte in ihr wirken dann soviel persönlicher.
Herzlichst Gundi
Thanks!
!
Great use of the fun technique on all three of your cards. Love how you used the German stamps, which makes your cards so personal. The blues look fabulous and your layouts are wonderful. So glad you managed to find the time to join in the Challange at The CAS Mix Up ....yes where does time go? X
Liebe Susanne… das sind ja sehr hübsche Karten! Gundi von papierelle hat es schon ganz treffend beschrieben…
Die Blumen gefallen mir so richtig gut!
Ganz lieben Gruß

What a fantastic stencil, Susanne! It's perfect for this monoprint technique! You've done an awesome job of using the panel to get three cards! Love the embossing and sequins! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
Perfect stencil to make a monoprint Susanne! Your blue flowers are gorgeous and I can way you wanted to use every bit of the piece. Three fabulous and creative card designs, my friend! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! xx
Your monoprint is so lovely and I love all three designs! I always feel that your card designs are well thought out. The German sentiments look awesome with the pretty rose gold embossing powder! Danke für das Teilen! (ha ha ha ~ with the help of google translator) Hideko xx
A trio of beautiful stencil monoprint cards! Great job with the technique. Your German recipients will love them! x
Very pretty use of a stencil on all three cards. I’m drawn to the second one as it feels more CAS. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards.
Your flower stencil is gorgeous. I love the soft blue color. Thanks for sharing.
What a pretty floral stencil to use for this technique Susanne! love the blue with the touches of gold - a beautiful set of birthday cards! thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
I am so pleased Susanne that we inspired you to play in our CAS Mix Up Stencil Monoprint Challenge. Love all 3 of your cards made from one monoprint:-) TFS my friend. Hugs..
Quel magnifique trio, Susanne ! Tu es peut être entrée dans le challenge à la dernière minute mais toi au moins tu y as participé ! Je n'ai pas eu le temps de tester cette technique mais je dois dire que j'adore le rendu ! Tu as optimisé au maximum ce joli papier au pochoir pour en faire 3 magnifiques cartes, les unes toutes plus belles que les autres ! J'adore ! Bises et bon weekend !
Hi, Lovely trio of cards. Nice use of the stencil to create the subtle monochromatic background in blue. Love how you added a few embellishments. Thank you for playing along with us at AAACards. Happy Crafting. Hugs - Bharati

You did so well with the monoprinting, and how super that you got 3 cards from your efforts. Each one is so pretty and I'm loving the shapes you've created on each of them as well. It's very sweet of you to add the sentiment in the language of the person you're sending it too, they will appreciate this little detail I'm sure. Also love that Rose Gold EP! TFS & Hugs
Lovely blue hues, Susanne ... your monoprint stencil panel is so soft and pretty ... a wonderful trio with the shimmery metallics! I'm the same with French sentiments ... nice to have the option isn't it?! Hugs, Anita :)
Three wonderful cards Susanne and one wonderful technique! Thank you so much for your visit to my blog . . . I haven't been getting notifications, and have kept forgetting to look! Have a great upcoming weekend my friend! Hazel xx
When I try a new technique it never comes out the first time, but wow--yours is perfect, Susanne! Such wonderfully designed cards & I've been trying to figure out what color to use with rose gold other than black. Now I know to use blue & thank you for sharing the embossing powder!
great cards Susanne...I love monoprinting.
xx Karen
Diese Technik war mir bis jetzt unbekannt! ...da hab ich wieder was dazugelernt!
Die Schablone macht sich echt super als Stempelabdruck und was du damit gemacht hast gefällt mir total gut!
...wünsche dir ein schönes Wochenende und schick dir ganz liebe Grüsse über den großen See
