Hello and Happy Saturday everyone!
Today, I’ve been trying out a new technique – applying Cosmic Shimmer luna paste with a sponge. I would never have thought of it, but I saw Simon Hurley’s video about sponging glitter paste (via the new CAS Stencil challenge blog) and thought I’d give it a whirl with luna paste.
I used the Mosaic Heart stencil by Simon Says Stamp and I love how it turned out – the coverage is much thinner than applying it with a palette knife, but it’s still so shimmery in real life!
I was originally planning to cut part of the stencilled heart off to create my CAS card (the heart is really quite large!), but I couldn’t quite bring myself to do so! Instead, I cut around it so that part of the image hangs off the edge, preserving the beautiful heart!
To finish off the card, I added a die cut sentiment also by Simon Says Stamp.
I’m entering this into a number of challenges:
CAS Stencil challenge – sponging
Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge – stencil
Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge – something new (my new Moonlight Sea luna paste)
Thanks for stopping by!

This is gorgeous Lucy! I love the colours of your glitter paste. The shimmer and shine is amazing. I would never have thought to sponge it over a stencil. That worked so well. Thank you for passing that along! Thanks for sharing your card with us at CAS Stencil!
