Here's the story. Last Monday, I tried the color-the-texture challenge on the blue panel, hated it and tossed it. Today, I pulled it out of the discard stack and started with the glitter/metallic pen/flowersoft (a mistake, I'm thinking. The flourish looks like a scurvy moustache!) to add texture on top of texture. Still hate it.
I then did the same ef with neenah natural white. I layered a cork die-cut thanks on cs over a scrap of handmade paper with the fishtail flags. So, both cards meet the criteria for wtui.
and of course I much prefer the CAS one.
Okay, so we'll call this effort worthy (?) of the dirty more is more challenge.

okay you got me to laugh. the flower soft does look like its growing a mossy fall thing on the first one. ( and I did not see it until I read the words because, you know Oh Shiny! caught my attention first.)
I love the simplicity of the words in the cork

Mustache description for the flourish is hilarious! Best laugh I have had all day. I do like the glitter pen on the larger "Thank You" on the first card. Maybe if you only did some of them in the glitter and not all of the embossing. But like everyone, I really love the contrast of the cork with the white CS on your second card.
