This is for FS224 and PaperInBloom aka Carly is our featured artist today. Congratulations, Carly! Your gallery is so full of wonderful CAS projects that I didn't know how to choose. I had so many favorites but finally decided on your Flower Thanks. Flower Thanks by PaperInBloom at Splitcoaststampers
I kept Carly's same layout, crimped background layer and flower theme. I changed the color combination and used a gorgeoius Maganolia image instead of making making my own paper flower. I stamped the flower on pink cardstock twice and green once and embossed with clear ep. I used a brush and reinkers washed with water to add more color and depth to the images and then cut out, paper pieced and layered for a dimenisonal effect like Carly's. I added a touch of sparkle to the flower petals with Glossy Accents and Dazzling Diamond glitter. I created a sentiment banner instead of using a tag. I really love how this turned out. It is so soft and feminine and yet maintains Carly's wonderful clean and simple style.

I love how this turned out too Kittie!! The pink magnolia on your white crimped bg is very lovely. It's a nice clean and feminine card, and still has the overall feel of Carly's.
