CAS528 = Show Me Your Bud! - budding spring trees, flowers, etc. (with a bonus for using some spring green, which I did)
I went with a spring flowering shrub - deciduous azalea - as I have a new die that makes me think of it. See this image for the type of deciduous azalea that inspired me.
My background is part of a stencil monoprint I made using various shades of brown Distress inks on mixed media paper.
I die cut the azalea circle and watercoloured it using Distress inks. I die cut a second one and glued them together to give it more substance. And then glued it on a circular piece of my stencil monoprint.
When I stamped "thank you" directly on the piece, it smudged, so I restamped it on a scrap of the stencil monoprint, and punched it out with an old SU label punch so that I could layer it over the smudged one.
I popped the circle up on fun foam.

So pretty, Susan. And, your die cut definitely looks like the one you showed in the photo. Glad you could save your card from that smudge.

I love azaleas but do not know this deciduous variety but your die cut is just like the one in the photo, Susan! Love your CAS design and that bg is just fabulous behind the flowers!
