CAS again!!

I just figured out what CAS is and I seem to be addicted to it already!! This card just happened to come about. 


I have a lovely book that teaches you to stencil and stamp.....not just on cards but on possibly everything from fabric to floor to tiles to furniture. There was a time, long ago, when I used stencils on furniture and walls. Ideally stencils should be cut out on acetate sheets, but I used to cut them out on card stock. Anyway, so I was going through the book and the stencil patterns given in it and I came across this lovely hibiscus pattern and thought of giving it a try. Once the stencil was cut out, I figured I should try colouring it with my watercolour pencils. I did and it turned out pretty decent. As I was wondering what to do with the flower, I decided why not use the flower as the focal point in a simple card! And so i neatly cut out the flower and used it in this CAS card. 

A closer look at the flower and my colouring. Its not bad i think.
