I always drool over the gorgeous CAS cards that some stampers are expert at making. Then I sulk because it is one of the styles that has never been in my crafting realm. Another plus to HYCCT - if you want to do ALL the challenges, that means "ALL OF THEM", even the ones that challenge your abilities. I saw the challenge last night and went to sleep thinking of ideas. It is funny that this stamp came to mind. I had always wanted to color it in bright tropical colors. The center stamp is one image and then I stamped a boarder image above and below it. I enlarged it using the printer. The sentiment was something I printed on the computer. The best thing about CAS cards is how fast they are to make...I was able to finish this before going to work. Have a wonderful day! TFL, Francie

Francie, this is so beautiful, especially with that one little pop of color in the flower. Love the image, the borders,and the strips of Washi Tape. Wonderful card!

This is fantastic! The bright washi tape definitely gives it that tropical feel and the image is so bold that it stands alone just fine!

Doesn't look like you had any problems with this challenge! Love the splashes of color the washi tape adds. Thanks for playing along in HYCCT and good luck completing all the challenges!
Love this!!!! You still added your signature brilliant color but kept the image uncolored. This is just as amazing all all your other creations. So striking! Your creativity dreamt up a beautiful card!

LOL, I was thinking that this would be a stretch out of your normal zone - but as always you rocked it. Fabulous use of washi tape, too, to add some colour. Do you know, with the border stamped above and below, this reminds me so much of a queen in a deck of playing cards!

That image and the borders are bold enough without any color...the washi and the flower are all the brightness you need! This is great..and you can make a CAS card (I struggle with those, too). Well done Francie!

A fabulous image that really stands out, even though it's not colored. I love how you added a little color with the washi tape and flower. It's just enough.

With your love of color and amazing ability to use it so beautifully, I wondered if this challenge would tax your creativeness. You nailed this challenge and still managed to make it colorful. GREAT JOB, Francie!
