This is for CAS37 and for any of you that know me....clean and simple is not my talent. I popped into to see the Monday challenge and noticed there is a whole challenge dedicated to CAS. Duh!!! I know....where have I been??!! Any way I thought it would be a good challenge to try my hand. I have this lovely stem image from Rubbernecker that I thought could stand totally alone on a card front with a simple ribbon. I inked up the stamp with light green, misted with water and stamped on watercolor paper. I used a blender pen to blend in a shade of yellow and a darker shade of green to create dimension and texture to the leaves. I finished by embossing the image with clear embossing powder. I didn't add a sentiment as I will do that when I need a thoughtful or thinking of you type of card.
PS.........It was great to see our Miss Boo as our challenge host. We sure go back a long ways.
