While I had my stencils out for JUGS, I made another stenciled card using Altenew's Classic Pine A&B and [as I was taught by my friends in the Group of Cardmakers] I couldn't let that residual ink go to waste but instead did a monoprint! ALL THAT to say I used that very monoprint as a background for my card for The Paper Players #757! It's sketch time and Stef has a great one for us...
What might look like mud to some pleases my eye very much!
Would it help to see the stenciled card? Maybe...
So much pretty ink to take advantage of with just
a fine spritz of water flipped over and pressed onto a panel of paper!
I wonder if Lisa and the JUGS team would mind second helpings?
Okay, I'd better get this little Chickadee over to The Paper Players before
their door closes! Have a great day!

I'm a fan of that wonderful background, and I love that chickadee! It's a beautiful holiday card! I don't have many birds in my collection. You may have sent me shopping.
Love both cards Michele, but especially the first one with your lovely (and artsy!) background and that sweet little birdie! Love the "wreath" too! Sweet, sweet cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
A couple of wonderful cards! Thanks for sharing at JUGS 😀
Your stenciled pine cones are gorgeous, but WOW to the "monoprint" that pleases MY eye very much too! Love them both!
That background pleases me too, so I am glad you didn't waste that ink. I have been busy again and struggling to find time for blogland so my apologies if you don't see me a regularly xx
Beautiful background!!! Love your sweet chickadee resting on the braided circle and that fabulous background
Michele, this watery background is PERFECT for the little bird. You’re on a roll recently and it’s very inspiring. Thanks.
Your monoprint background is very pleasing to my eye as well, Michele! It's perfect for giving just a hint of subtle color and design. Plus, it doesn't take away from the beautiful wreath with that darling chickadee. Both cards are gorgeous btw! Thank you so much for joining in and playing along with my sketch this week!
Lovely cards, but I mostly love the chickadee one! :-)
Your stenciled pinecones are lovely but that monoprint from them and sweet little chickadee in the braided wreath is so wonderful. Love it. Fabulous cards.
