This week's CAS Challenge is to make a card inspired by the amazing gallery of Brenda (Tessaduck) a CAS Alumni and the Technique Challenge is to try some stamp etching. Brenda's card I chose to CASE -
I was inspired by Brenda's fussy cut flower over a stencilled bg. I lightly stencilled in smoky slate ink. Stamped, etched, coloured flowers with copics and sprayed with glimmer mist. Fussy cut and adhered, using dimensionals, over the stencilling. Backed onto eggplant c/s and adhered to white card which I had scored.
I would say my stamp etching is subtle and I added all the rhinestones, for the sparkle, seeing as this is the 500th technique challenge - that is a lot!!
Enjoy all the beautiful cards in your honour, Brenda!
TFL!

This is just stunning, Sue. Your color choices are great and the image is perfect for the technique challenge. The flowers just jump off the page. Right into my favs.

Sue, your card is beautiful and TFS how you accomplished this beauty. I thought your flowers were colored prints until I read your description...or actual paper flowers....they are SO perfect and realistic looking. You did stupendous work etching and coloring them.
