For today's CAS challenge (CAS183 - sketch by Tenia) and TLC challenge (TLC390 - water stamping).
I'm loving this new technique ... and I love the color combo of orange and pink. I water stamped the sponged cardstock with the leafy image from the Pendant Park stamp set from SU! It looks really wonderful in real life ... the camera just doesn't pick up the beautiful subtle leafy detail - but trust me, it's there!
I struggle with diagonal elements, so it took me a while to figure out this sketch. In the end, I used a subtle way to add this element, scoring and paper piercing two lines.

So pretty Loll! How cool that you did the water stamping on your background and your flower! (Clever girl!) I also really like your design! Adding the white panel is brilliant for a CAS card! And then adding paper piercing to follow the sketch, sheesh! You REALLY know what you are doing!!! EXCELLENT on both challenges!!!
