Here's the card I made for Diane's (DCinkit) HYCCT challenge. She wanted a card that didn't require any extra postage. CAS are generally challenging for me as are flat cards - I'm always popping something up with dimensionals or layers. For this card, I masked and stamped the flowers and leaves first on watercolor paper. Then, I stamped the sentiment on another piece of watercolor paper, colored using Peerless watercolors and cut the sentiment into strips. Instead of popping up the sentiment strips with dimensionals as I normally would, I just adhered them flat over the flowers. I added a few tiny rhinestones for a little extra pop.

This is amazing. I love the uncolored line image with the multicolored sentiment. I really like how you cut it apart and added the gorgeous rainbow colors. Love that sentiment. It's a great one for the cause! Your tiny rhinestones add just the right touch. Very nicely done. Into my favs. Thanks for supporting HYCCT and my challenge!
