Love these challenges today because I love the CAS style and love flowers (MIX223). Stamped the flowers in brown versafine and then clear embossed on my card front. Masked off a portion of the card front (leaving a bit of the flower petals hidden under the mask), sponged with different greens, stamped with the text stamp, and splattered with diluted white acrylic paint, as well as some of the green. Removed mask(love this part!). On watercolor cs I stamped/embossed the flower stamp again, and watercolored only the flowers with zig markers and water. Added some WOS for shimmer, then fussy cut and attached to the card front. Stamped the sentiment, and done - almost a one layer card!

Your coloring of the flowers is stunning! And then the colors for the background with the text and the spattering of white really sealed the deal for me. I love, love, love it all!
