ATSM #109 - CAS

We have a wonderful new challenge for you this week at Addicted to stamps and more... Addicted to CAS. We all know what clean and simple is right? It's all about the design, it's all about the design uncluttered, lots of white or open space and one main focal point and here's my card....
To make this card, I cut out a circle from the front panel, next I inked the panel in distress ink and water stamped the hexagon stencil, along the two edges. I also stamped the sentiment. Then I stamped the flower from STAMPlorations August 2014 Stamp - Bloom Sketches set on a water color paper and water colored it using distress inks. Isn't this stamp just adorable :) Finally, I popped up the flower and the panel on card base with some foam dots.
I was inspired by a few challenges AAA Cards #16 - CASing Jane Taylor, Inkspirational #63 - Red, Orange and Yellow, Crazy for CAS #51 - Water Coloring and Simon Say Wednesday Challenge - Summer
 
  
There is a lot more lovely inspiration from the DT, Please visit our challenge blog here. The winner will receive three digis from our sponsor this week Eureka Stamps. Take a peek at their store here
I am excited to see what you will come up with ....

 This card is also a reminder for the Mixed Media Card Challenge #2 - Summer, don't forget to play along :)

 Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving me a comment :)

Supplies used - Inks Mememto Tuxedo black, Archival black, Distress - Spiced Marmalade, Barn door, Squeezed lemonade; Stamp - STAMPlorations Bloom Sketches; Die - Sizzix Circle die and Stencil - Crafters workshop - Mini punchinella; Canson water color paper
