Happy Fall!
I received a lovely package of die cuts from Cheryl W. at Paper Panacea after admiring one of her cards. Thanks so much, Cheryl. My card today is a CASEing of her card.
To the pale orange die cut I added some darker orange with a colored pencil by Crayola. Not sure why I haven't used my pencils before. But it is fun. Anyway, next I colored the center of the flower with a brown pencil. In real life the flower is really pale orange unlike my picture seems to show. Honest!
For my background I found an interesting green paper by SU, a DSP called Splendid Autumn from 2024. Like Cheryl, I propped up some of the petals with glue dots beofre gluing the whole flower down. It was difficult doing the stem and leaves I tell you. My card base is my usual basic white from PTI.
To finish up I used a simple greeting from a vintage Gina K set called Vertical Greetings that has had lots of use lately.
Come to find out, The Color Hues Challenge #117 is asking for orange and green, so am entering my card there before it closes. First time visiting this challenge.
Thank you for visiting and I hope you will come by again. Hugs from Minnesota where Fall is so pretty.

What a pretty CAS card! The added dimension was worth your extra effort! Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues! I hope you'll join us again soon.
You did a great job with this die-cut! I love the extra shading you added to the petals. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the rest of the die-cuts. I hope you share your creations online when you do use them.
This is beautiful Jeanne! I forget to add pencil shading too so thanks for the reminder. We appreciate you here at Color Hues! Thanks for playing.

Lovely sunflower with the extra dimension and shading. Love the background paper too. I am so used to using alcohol markers that I forget about the colored pencils also. Will have to get them out again.
Beautiful! Jo x
