Graceful Lily

Hi everyone.  I'm on a roll. :)  Having fun in my studio making lots of cards lately.  Hopefully this means my mojo is back in full swing and I'm hoping it stays for a long time. :)

This card is inspired by Splitcoast Stamper's "Inspiration Challenge - IC1064" and "CAS Challenge - CAS895".  The Inspiration challenge is to be inspired by one of Scully & Scully's products (see lily pillow below).  The CAS challenge is to CASE Yourself.  I changed the colour of the lilies, shape of the focal panel, and the background stencil.  The rest is the basically the same, CASEing this card from five years ago.

                                                                                                                       2021

 

The image (Graceful Lily - Penny Black)was stamped in black, clear heat embossed, and then watercoloured with distress inks.  I masked the image and sponged over a stencil for the background.  The panel was die-cut with Whirl Frames (Penny Black) and the inside piece gave me the reverse scallop edging.  The panel was popped up over the card base.  A simple sentiment (Super Day) was stamped in more black ink.
