Stylized Black-Eyed Susans

I really liked this week's CAS(E) This Sketch! and finished the card in time.  I'll wait while you pick yourself up from the floor.

I haven't used this stamp set much but I love it.  It's just a bit edgy and the stylized flowers made me feel like I could color them any which way.  I also used a Happy Birthday sentiment from a set I've never used.  NBUS whittled down by one!  Oh, but wait, this was also the first time I used the MISTI to restamp something to make it darker.  Nice!

The Details:  Peerless watercolors (used wet on dry), Martha Stewart All Occasions sentiment, Hot Off the Press Simply Susan stamps, My Favorite Things Pierced Rectangle die, Memento Tuxedo Black, Scotch foam tape, Tim Holtz watercolor paper, Recollections 110lb white cardstock base, Doodlebug Black Sprinkles

I'm entering this in CAS(E) this Sketch! #126, Seize the Birthday without optional animal topping, Pretty Pink Posh Watercolor Hop

    Gorgeous! And I love that only a bit needs to be colored -- time saver but still packs a punch!

    Hi Toni, sorry I'm a bit slow with my comments at the moment. And I saw today that you were mentioned at Case this Sketch...woohoo!! That's awesome and I can see why, this card is brilliant and love the idea of highlighting only a certain part of the stamping. Well done!
