STAMPlorations November CAS Card Challenge Extra

I am sharing an extra CAS Challenge Card with the optional color twist: Rainbow.
Who doesn't love rainbows?!?

But you do not have to use rainbow colors to play in the CAS Card Challenge.
You have until the last day of the month to play along!



Such a fun quick and easy CAS card!
The Zen Birthday Background 1 did all the work. 
I stamped with Archival Black Ink on Mixed Media paper and then heat embossed
using clear embossing powder.  

Die cut with CUTplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch 
Rectangles Nesting Die.

Then watercolored using the wet on wet technique using Kuretake Gansai paints.  
Starting at the top of the image, wet the paper with a wet paint brush and then added
red watercolors, then pink, yellow, orange, green, turquoise, blues and purple.

Let dry and then die cut the Celebrate Big on the image.
Die cut Celebrate Big again with SU Whisper White Thick Cardstock.

Then the fun began...Inlaid the White Celebrate Big and 
added scotch tape to the back of the main image.
Paper Pieced all the watercolored main image pieces..just like a puzzle.

The trick: save all the pieces no matter how tiny...
you will need them to finish the puzzle:-)
My Marvy Jewel Picker makes the process MUCH easier too!
The scotch tape on the back of the main image
secured the pieces in place.  It worked Great!

Attached finished main image to SU Whisper White Thick Card Base and Done!

I loved the results and hope you do too. Hugs..
