CAS Watercolour Silhouette Challenge

Time for our CAS Watercolour September "Silhouette" Challenge.  So many Gorgeous cards by our Design Team and our Amazing Guest Designer, Birgit (Rapport fran ett skrivbord)!

I chose my Memory Box "Dragonfly Stems Left Corner Die" for my Silhouette Image.

After borrowing Loll's (Stamping with Loll) Die at our Retreat in May,  Loll surprised me recently with my very own Dragonfly Die!  Thank you so much sweet girl friend:-)  Even though I recently made THIS card with Loll's borrowed die,  I just had to use it for my CAS Watercolour September "Silhouette" Challenge launch card.

I started with a Stitched die cut piece of retired SU designer series paper.  It has a watercolor wash look,  but I sponged more Distess Oxide ink onto the paper.  I swiped Peacock Feathers and Broken China onto my craft mat and spritzed with water.  I sponged onto the paper with my blending tool.  It gave more of a watercolour wash look,  but not as much as I had hoped,  but was fun to try.  I love playing with my DOX Inks.

Next I placed my dragonflies die on the sponged paper and die cut.  Attached a 2nd layer of die cut stitched designer paper and attached the 2 layers, so the white cardstock under the layer would not show.  Then I die cut the dragonflies using Thick Whisper White CS, which I inlaid using SU Fine Tip Glue Pen.  Next I glued on the black die.  That popped up my dragonflies and also gave them a slight white shadow for more dimension.

Next I added a stamped sentiment and sequins to my main image and Wink of Stella to my die.

To finish my card I popped up the main image using fun foam onto my Thick Whisper White card base.

I hope you get to join our fun CAS Watercolour Challenge.  You have until the 24th to play along.  Be sure and check out all the fabulous DT and GD, Birgit's cards for inspiring CAS Card designs.
