Insect is the theme at CASology Week #252, so I used CAS Colours & Sketches #226 palette of Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake and Soft Sky! The hibiscus die cuts (Memory Box) were cut in watercolour paper and some salt was added to the Coral colour to add some texture. Embossing paste was tinted with Soft Sky and was stencilled onto the the white card base. Then the ants (Lawn Fawn) were stamped in Crumb Cake and clear heat embossed… stamping little dots here and there. Finally, two linen canvas leaves were added (Spellbinder). Today’s card is also posted on the June CAS Mix Up Challenge
Thanks for stopping by, HUGz, Joanna

Your card is full of wonderful texture, Joanne. Love the soft blue embossing paste background and how you carried that colour to the center of your flowers. The salt you added gives lots of visual texture on the flower petals, and the linen leaves are awesome. xx
