I do know I used a couple of stencils and maybe some distress inks. That's it! Oh, and the sentiment and die are from a Simon Says Stamp set. It still made a nice birthday card no matter what I did I guess. I also think I should get some kind of Brownie points since I tried a different technique!
I'll enter this in the challenge at CAS Mix Up (stamping, stencil monoprint, and a die cut)
Thanks for stopping by...........

Love the background,just gorgeous.xxx
It's okay... I had to ask someone what the heck stamp set I used to make a card. I must start attaching sticky notes to them until I post them. Well Lynn, whatever ya did, it worked. Bravo!
My memory fails me all the time, Lynn! And I used to have such a good memory! Now I can't remember what happened yesterday! Whatever you did to make this card looks amazing! Love it!
Oh and the heat has been absolutely unbearable here too. There was another Environment Canada heat and humidity warning on the radio again this morning. It's just not fit here. We don't have AC - we never needed it before - but we certainly do now. Stay cool!
It came out great regardless! It looks like ink smooshed on a block and spritzed with water, then stamped. I can sympathize with you because once I make a card and put things away, I don't always remember what I did or used. I got a great tip from Bonnie at http://bon2stamp.blogspot.com/. She said to use a post it on the back of the card with what was used. I think that would help me for sure.
This looks fabulous, it looks like you have layered the stencil down and spritz with distress inks. It is gorgeous, love it.

Well you get brownie points for sharing Lynn! :) I love what you did....whatever it was looks incredibly cool along with the mix of colors on it! I'm sure the person who received it will think it's pretty cool too! :) Thanks for sharing! HUGS
Whatever technique you used, it turned out to be one great birthday card! I love all the business of the colorful panel with the sharp contrast of black on white with the big sentiment! It works! Brownie points awarded :)
It's so artistic and gorgeous!! I love the beautiful colors!! It looks so amazing!! It's been wicked hot here, too. Yesterday the humidity was off the charts. Have a great day!! Big hugs :)

Oh Lynn, I think this is gorgeous!! I love the inky panel and fabulous clean design, you used the perfect sentiment/die for this design!
It is a lovely colourful design Lynn..I'm a newbie with distress inks and have just ordered set 4 and would love to try something like this as it is very effective..

It's a lovely CAS, and I'm so glad you remembered it. Looks like smooshing over a stencil, or maybe your brusho-s? Whatever you did, works great for me, with the super sentiment treatment. We'll blame the heat for many things, right? TFS & Hugs
You may not know how you done it Lynne, but you sure done it good! Fabulous card :)
Blessings

It is an amazing CAS card Lynn and yes you get points for doing a technique! lol I love how this turned out even if you can't remember how you did it. It looks very artsy and so cool looking. Love the big you die cut, I have a big "you" stamp with an SVG file for it so thanks for the idea for a birthday card! Hugs, Brenda
Well whatever you did I love it, Lynn! Those colors are so vivid and I love the "texture"! The die cut and stamping work perfectly!
WOW! Love the splash of color, Lynn. Gorgeous card!
I'm definitely awarding Brownie points, Lynn. This is fabulous! Love your mix of colors and the simple design with the die cut "you" in the sentiment.
Wonderful card, Lynn, I love the inky panel. I'm glad I'd not the only one who has lapses of memory! xx
It's a shame you can't remember what you did...because it's one you should make more of...It's so unique and creative! (And I won't talk about memory in this comment...) Yes, we can blame it on the heat! I'm old and I don't remember (memory again) it ever being a summer this hot and with so many HOT days!
Greetings Lynn, glad to hear I am not the only one that forgets what products I use unless I write it down. The stencils and distress inks make a super fun card design.
Hugs Diane
Gosh I like this card and if you can ever remember how you did it, shoot me an email. I love this CAS card and that strip of colour is so perfect, you don't need a single embellishment on here at all.
My jaw dropped when I saw this awesome card, Lynn!!! I LOVE everything about it!!!
Sorry to be late commenting on this, but I left it in my inbox to make sure I got here when I could. This is stunning, Lynn!!! Someone may have already told you this, but CAS Mix Up Challenge is doing Stencil Monoprint. It totally looks like a winner to me!! It requires two other elements: stamping (check) and one other which is die-cutting (check), so you tick all the boxes, IMHO! I'm pinning to CASE! Hugs, Darnell
