Rastafarian Hello

When I saw CASology's latest challenge "Grass" I immediately thought of grass.  Yes, the special kind.  It was last year that marijuana was legalized in Washington state so how could I not, right?  Plus, it'll be a fun card to send to someone as a hello from WA, relax or some such.

I masked off a square on watercolor paper and did a wash of Peerless watercolors in the colors of the Jamaican flag.  I then found marijuana clipart and created a stencil using my Cameo.  This I placed over the watercolor wash and sponged in black.  I then mounted on the lot on an A2 card with a narrow band of black peeking at the bottom to ground it.

The Details:  Peerless Watercolors, Strathmore cold press watercolor paper, Memento Tuxedo Black, painter's tape, Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock

I'm entering this in CASology #113 Grass, Keep It Simple! #49 No Stamps, Daring Cardmakers Stencil Revolution

    When I first saw this card, I wondered, "could she?" And you did! It's legal where you live so I think it is one of the best takes on the card so far! Your background is the perfect foil for this image, too! So glad you joined us at CASology this week!

    I LOVE IT!! Funnily enough I thought of this particular 'grass' myself but couldn't think of how I could put it on a card. This is fantastic and I so wish I had a Cameo, must give you so many more options for cards than just what paper or stamps you own. Maybe I can ask Santa.......
