CAS doesn't need to have a white background... Looking at my previous makes I realised that my CAS were always on a white base so I have decided to push myself into new colours. Today I have gone to the opposite on the spectrum with black, and it shows off my pink flower to best effect.
The flower is the Dahlia from the Colour me collection by IndigoBlu and the die-cut is from the Thinlits Sentiment words set by Tim Holtz.
I stamped the flower with Versamark and applied chalk pastels in different shades of red and pink over the petals and yellow for the center.
Thanks for coming by,
I am entering the IndigoBlu, SSS Wednesday, Penny Black and more , Stamping Sensations and Uniko Studio challenges
