This is for two challenges today: I CASEd a card from Fionna51/Diane's gallery for today's CAS challenge and added pointillism highlights with markers to the bg, poppies and sentiment. I stamped the hardwood bg which I inked with multiple Neutral colors then cut out the poppy die cut. I then inlaid the poppies and added some marker pointillism accents on and around. I didn't like the effect so well so I softened it with a wet brush. I added some sponging along the edges and then a lot of dots to the bg and on the snetiment piece. Still not sure I'm wild about the final look but such it is. I've been on vacation for the past week so I'm a little rusty!

I love this... your wood effect is great, had to check to see if it was designer paper. Love the colors together, too.
