hi there,
Here is my card for the CAS challenge today...an inspiration photo. I took my inspiration from the colours on the photo and since my hollyhocks bloom in the summer, I thought it was a perfect match. I made my card a one layer OLC so I could also play along with the challenge over at Simplicity. One of my BFF's is gone to her summer house and will be gone for most of July and August and I really miss her so I want to send her a card.
I masked the panel then I watercoloured the hollyhocks with markers and sprayed with water before stamping. Scored the edges of the masking for interest.
Hope you like it and thanks so much for looking,
Karen

Karen, your water-color needs to be framed! This is gorgeous. Love the scoring too- it adds so much!
