For my card I tried to create something CAS (at least by my standards lol!) so I'm also joining the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge where the theme is CAS.

I started by creating the flower image, coloring with Copic markers then die cutting with the companion die. Next I used a rectangle stencil and ink blended a rectangle on the white card base to represent the smaller rectangle in the sketch. However, I used a pretty light hand with the light aqua ink and the left side was sooo light the camera didn't pick it up. But I promise you it's there!
I chose to use a foiled and die cut sentiment that I'd made some time back, so I decided to add some gold metallic splatter to bring the gold foiling into the design. I splattered the card base and the floral image separately before adhering together. While that dried, I used the companion die to cut two more layers of the floral image, then when everything was ready, added them to the colored image, which was then adhered to the card base, along with the sentiment.
Thanks for taking time to stop by. Please use the link above to see the lovely cards my fellow DT members created and hopefully are inspired to play along!
Take care!

Just stunning, Stef, your coloring always blows me away! This is truly glorious! And I love that your definition of CAS mirrors mine, lol!
Stef, what beautiful inspiration for those who decide to play along with our new sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps...I love that you created a CAS card even if it is outside your comfort zone. Heidi’s “In the Corner” sketch is perfect for showcasing your beautiful sunflower stamp!! #SSC316
It's CAS by my standards too, Stef and it's very pretty to boot!
Another stunning floral card! This floral just went on my wish list. I'm trying to have more restraint than I did with the Fragrant Florals. Not that I have any regrets about that purchase; I do not!
A very pretty tribute to the end of summer Stef! I love the simplicity of the design - the gorgeous colouring, the simple sentiment in gold, the subtlety of the blended background and the spatter of gold! Definitely CAS in my book and simply gorgeous! Hugs, Kate!
Wow, such lovely details! The coloring is superb!
Stef, this is GORGEOUS! I love sunflowers and these are so realistic! Great take on the sketch!
