This is for the CAS challenge this week, to honor Angela Maine. I have CASED this beauty, keeping the layout, stenciled background and floral theme, and just changing the colors and using vellum for the sentiment banner.
I love Angela's elegant and sophisticated CAS style. Thank you for always inspiring Angela ... and congrats on this well-deserved honor!
I'm also entering this into this month's Fan Club - April Showers.
For the stenciled background, I sponged two shades of green and then coated it with translucent embossing paste that is filled with glass beads. I LOVE how it turned out ... so pretty and very sparkly.
Ink: pear pizzazz, old olive, calypso coral, black staz-on
Accessories: fresh foliage die (simon says), hydrangea punch (martha stewart), silhouette cameo, harlequin stencil, glass bead gel medium (golden), stylus and mat, white gel pen

This is so beautiful! I love that you sponged it first adding color and then just using the translucent paste instead of the hassle of blending. Your flowers and leaves are beautifully formed!

This is a beauty, Loll. Right away, I noticed the sparkle and now I read it is from glass bead gel. Very nice!

I love the sparkly look you achieved in your back ground with the glass beads! HOW COOL..and your coral flowers are such a wonderul contrast! The vellum banner with the teeny tiny flower to match is a wonderful idea. Faved for sure....
