Last week I had a little free time and decided to try one stroke painting again. Years ago I had bought a book and brushes - boy oh boy, was I surprised that those tutotials where ladies wave the magic brushes over a piece of paper and life-like flowers emerge are greatly exagerated. However, I did end up with a few painted flowers that I could keep. This one was perfect for the CAS313 theme of Spring. I just stenciled a purple pattern around my roses and stamped a sentiment. The hardest part about this card is to keep it CAS. I am just dying to add a ribbon and pearls. Luckily it is late and I have things to get done. TFL, Francie

Beautiful, Francie! I never found those magic brushes, either, LOL, and never created anything close to as pretty as this! Lovely colors and the stenciled bg looks fabulous!

I tried that 'magic' painting too, Francie.....and had NO luck with it. It I'd come anywhere close to what you've done here, I might have kept at it. Your card is absolutely gorgeous and jumping right out of the gallery!!!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
