CAS520 = repeat stamping. (Figured that out from the samples that were already uploaded for the challenge.)
TLC729 = foiled images
There are no foil supplies in my stash, so I improvised with faux silver leaf. After stamping the image several times with VM, the faux silver leaf was applied and then burnished. I colored the hollyhocks with a combination of watercolors(didn't work all that well...the leaf kept "eating" them up) and thinned acrylic paint(much better). My photo doesn't capture the shine of the faux silver leaf through the paints. What looks white on the flowers in the photo is the silver leaf.

I don't have any foil either, and I love how you have improvised. These hollyhocks are so pretty, Sallie.

Oh my, this is so gorgeous Sally! This stunning card pops right out of the gallery and says, "look at ME!" I love the colors you chose and the inventive way you used your silver leaf. I bow to thee.... ~Karen.

That is just wow, beautiful! I smiled when I read the accuracy of faux silver leaf. I'm sure what I can't find that I used to have was faux gold. Those hollyhocks look just gorgeous and I can imagine the shimmer they must have.
