This is a CAS (clean & simple) card for the Color Challenge. I donÂ’t have the exact colors, but I came pretty close using Distress inks. I masked the edges of a white panel & sponged on the inks. Then I used a stencil, sponged thru it to add a bit more interest. The image & greeting were stamped on top along with some dots across the bottom using an ink spot image. It was die cut w/ matting die, the leftover piece was sponged & added back around the main panel.
I even went for dessert My little leaf was stamped w/ Stazon onto a piece of rescued plastic packaging & colored on the back side w/ Copics, cut out then heated a little in order to curl it a bit. I added a few highlights on the colored part of the image w/ a white gel pen and white Prismacolor pencil.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

JULIE, what a great way to mix these colors with the sponging and add that little leaf down in the corner on acrylic - love this idea and though you may think this is CAS, I love the extra "pizzazz" you added!!

Another one of your cards onto my pinterest page, Julie. This is stunning. The plastic leaf s just so creatice. The stenciling and masking with only partial coloring of the image is just genius. A simply lovely card.
