Happy Monday everyone... Here is what I came up with for today's CAS challenge - Think Summer and the Technique challenge - That old black magic... This also will work for the Fan Club theme - anything that grows....
I stamped my cute little flowers with Stampin Up Whisper white craft ink onto black card stock. Heat dried the ink. Coloured the flowers with Water coloured pencil crayons and dotted flowers with white gel pen. Punched out the fence and sponged the top of the pickets with Really rust ink. Matted the black card stock with a textured rust and and again with black c/s. Sewed around the edges. Punched out my mini little butterflies and sponged with really rust. Dotted butterflies with white liquid pearls. Image panel is popped up. Sponged the edges of the cream card stock with really rust.

The little picket fence is such a great contrast to your lovely black magic flower garden! Beautiful job!

Great job with the technique. I love how you paced the flowers behind the picket fence. I have picked that punch up to buy more than once and I still don't own it. Your card has made me decide that I really do need it though. TFS

wow, it sounds like you created this beauty in no time at all. It took me forever to finish mine. This is stunning... I love the little butterflies. They add so much whimsey!

This looks like a summer night in the spotlight and you did a great job with both challenges. Nice stitching and I also like the way you shaded the fence top.
