CAS Flower

For my second card today, I chose the awesome sketch challenge at Create with Connie & Mary as well as the color challenge at Color Throwdown.  These colors are right up my alley, although funnily enough, of the four colors, Pumpkin Pie is my least favorite, yet that is the one I chose for the main focal point - go figure LOL.

Because the sketch has a lot of white space, I chose to go CAS with this card.

The flower was made using the faux suede technique and the 5-petal flower and spring bouquet punches.  To finish it off, I tied a bow using linen thread through a small Pumpkin Pie button.

Here's a close-up of the flower so you can see the cool texture the faux suede technique creates.

Thanks for looking.
