Happy Tuesday and welcome to another week at CASology. Our cue word this week is BLOSSOM. Oh, I had fun with this one, and I am sure you will, too.
I went with one of my favorite flower images--Botanical Blocks by PTI. I used little sponges that fit on my fingertip to color my flower and leaves with Distress inks. To add interest to my design, while keeping the card CAS, I added texture to my card front, split the panel underneath my focal point, and stamped my sentiment vertically.
I hope you will play along this week and show us how you are inspired by the word BLOSSOM. Just remember to please keep your card Clean and Simple.
Joyce Mehrberg (that's me)
