S&S Sketch 104

Here's my entry for the Stars & Stamps Blog sketch this week. I used a technique shown by Jennifer McGuire in the Clean and Simple Online Class. I embossed the posies on watercolor paper with white powder. To color each square, I used a foam applicator loaded with distress ink and Perfect Pearls. 

Hero Arts Peeking Posies
Ranger Perfect Pearls and Distress Inks - Broken China, Shabby Shutters, Seedless Preserves
Strathmore Watercolor paper
Versamark ink
White embossing powder
Celebrate It ribbon

    I really like this card using the CAS technique from JM's class! Excellent combination of both challenges!
