Hi Artsy Friends,
I’m happy to squeeze time out of my overwhelming busy schedule to make this CAS card. And, I’m also happy that I dug out some of my favorite old stencil, die, and text stamp for this card.
Spring is coming here in Taiwan with lots of flowers blooming. I hope this card is eye-pleasing to you. Thanks for stopping by and wish you a great day.
Card Details
1. Flower stencil is by Hero Arts, die is by Memory Box and text is by Papertrey Inks.
2. Background technique is Ghosting or so-called Water Stenciling.
3. The entire background panel is covered with Clear Wink of Stella. The sparkling effect is really pretty.

I'm always amazed at how striking good, simple designs can be. This is no exception. The addition of the die cuts (or punches) just adds interest to a beautifully 'ghosted' panel and the words are wonderful. A great card :-)
