Thanks to Julia for a wonderful challenge today. I have a hard time making CAS cards and my first try went into File T.
This is another card of my favorite things:
I cut a reverse mask with the big scallop rectangles, stamped the image, then covered the inside, placed the die back on and sponged the outside with Vintage Photo Distress ink. The Vintage Wallpaper background was stamped over it with the same color. Then I used the reverse mask and die again and sponged the inside with Antique Linen background.
The sunflower was colored with Copic Markers. I meant to make this a one layer card, but I didn't like that the coloring showed through on the inside. So I cut the image down to 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" and layered it on a 4 1/4" x 11" piece (folded in half) after stitching the outside.
The sentiment panel was cut out of the remaining 1/4" sheet that I had left. It was cut with Petite Oval Nestabilities and sponged with Antique Linen.
I used this card to create a .
Thanks for looking! Have a wonderful day!
Hugs and smiles

A gorgeous, rich, beautifully colored, perfect sunflower! Love the scalloped frame and the expertly sponged bg. Love the stitching too, makes me want to dig out my sewing machine, it's stashed away due to lack of room!
