I wanted to try out a tri-fold card with a stamped design along the diagonal top. I stamped the first flower, masking as I went along. I stamped along the back, using the same flower pattern sequence as the front, and then trimming the top with scissors (the back & front didn't match perfectly, but close enough).
My first effort failed with this design, as I colored the flowers with copic markers, which bled thru, so I went thru the whole process again, this time with colored pencils - success! I was very happy with the pencils (just regular pencils), shading each flower with 2 colors, blending perfectly. It just goes to show, one can make cards without copics!!
I brushed on Moonlight Smooch in the flower centres, and added glossy accents on top for some pop!

Super stunning floral border, love the pencil coloring and the wonderful CAS of the card. The sentiment is so perfect for this beautiful card. Thank you for playing in the Ways to Use It challenge!

Way to rock the CAS diagonal with this beauty. What a shame you only encountered the bleeding issue after all the cutting - I hope you can salvage that and re-use it on something else. Those flowers are too pretty to waste.
