Here's the fifth and last set in this August release from MHK Designs and I can't tell you how much I love the gorgeous pansies in "Pansy Corner." You can see a photo of the complete set at the bottom of this post. For now, here's a card showcasing the image and one of the sentiments.
This time I used my new Lyra pencils to color the image because I wanted a very soft-looking pallette. The image is printed right onto the card front and that means another really CAS design.
I decided to use the sentiment as the only 'embellishment' so I cut it with a scalloped, stitched die (Memory Box), and then cut two more of those shapes with the same die, this time cutting from scraps of lavender and red violet CS. I layered those together in an interesting pattern and adhered them to the card front. Voila!, the sentiment looks like an embellishment. :-D

It's gorgeous and you showcased it perfectly by printing directly on the front base. I haven't heard of those pencils, but they certainly worked well.
CAS...yet nothing simple about that beautiful image...very nicely done :) Hugs...Janie
Love the CAS - but it looks so elegant and the coloring is fantastic. Love the pencils.
Love that you layered the colorful image on an all white background! It's beautiful! :)
