This week's challenge is to make your own background. I used a combination of Fast and Fabulous and French Foliage, using early espresso and white craft ink for the background. I stamped the image on watercolor paper and used inks to watercolor the flowers. CAS is clearly out of my comfort zone because I kept wanting to add more, and had to make myself stop! The card came together surprisingly fast.
Since I had extra background and another flower image, I decided to give into my desire to add more by making another card that wasn't so simple ~ and now I am breathing again!!

Beautiful! I love your "background paper" with the white on expresso and touches of pink.
