UPDATE: I slept on it and decided to change out the blue stones for AB stones. It was tedious but I am much happier with the result.
This is another gilded card, using a bulb flower for the CAS challenge (the bulb is the only CAS element so I am interpreting CAS loosely on this one). I gave away my other gilded card and a crafting friend wants to compare the difference of using dies versus using texture paste with stencils. I like that I have ALL of my dies at my disposal now using this process! To be honest, this card needed to be a different color, I don't have many colors to mix with my acrylic. I cannot get over how much the light blue an the rhinestones make the scene look like an underwater scene. I did my best to establish that this is indeed a floral scene and I picked the sentiment to also convey "flowers". It is like an illusion... So not perfect but I sure had fun making it!
hmm, so for the Girls just want to have fun challenge, this is covered in rhinestones and the word "marvelous" is on the sentiment, The rhinestones are VERY girlie and marvelous is synonymous with FUN!
I was the HARE for this card, I was messy and fast and did not overthink anything. I wanted the textures of the foam brush and all the imperfections many layers of paint brings. I finished in under an hour using my heat gun to dry each layer.
Thanks for looking!

I love your card! It is interesting what you said about the rhinestones making it look like an underwater scene as that is what I thought too. But all the images and shapes go together well and the result is really lovely.
