There's not a lot of white space on my card, so I don't really think it fits very well at CASology, but we shall see. For my card, I used the Freezer Paper Masking Technique as shown by Kristina Werner and ironed the "thank you" onto some watercolor paper before loosely watercoloring with some Broken China and Mermaid Lagoon ink, deliberately leaving the edges a bit jagged.
Once I was happy with the watercoloring, I removed the freezer paper and die-cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die. I then die-cut a scalloped edge die using Desert Storm and adhered that to a white card base. The watercolored panel is popped up on foam tape. Lastly, I dropped some shaker sequins onto the card front and pretty much adhered them where they fell :)
Thanks for visiting.

You did an amazing job combining challenges, Karren! I love your bold blue watercolored background, and that you chose the freezer paper masking technique for your die cut sentiment! Such a striking design, especially with all those gorgeous sequins!

Love those 'jagged', hard edges! So glad you joined us at CASology this week!
That's so pretty! I need to look into this technique as that stencil worked beautifully with the watercolouring, I love that it's so simple too. It needs nothing else. Xx
