Hi there,
Here is my card for the CAS challenge today...to create your own Bkg. I am also playing along with the challenge at Less is More found here: http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com/
Well I have to tell you I am totally enjoying this wonderful day off!!! Having a ball in my craft room!!!! LOVE it.
I got out my 1 inch punch and used it to make a pile of circles. Next I attached them with temporary glue and sponged over the whole thing using Distress inks. Next I stamped in the flowers and the sentiment.
I can't take full credit for this card as I know I saw a card like this one and it has stuck in my head for a long time.
Hope you like it and thanks so much for looking,
Karen

Awesome, awesome, awesome. Your card just helped me decide which of my sketches to tackle next -- I have something planned with punched circle masks too. But this is so fabulous that I'll probably make a few!

Another totally out of the box idea from you. I will shamelessly CASE this idea, Karen. Thanks for the inspiration. Aside from the concept, this is really beautiful. The combination of colors for the background is really appealing to me and love the floral silhouettes you chose. Awesome, girl.
