I created a CAS card with some abstract fun-coloured flowers.
Unfortunately I havn't a Banner-Die in the size of my sentiment, so I skipped the optional twist and cut it with a ruler and a craft-knife (maybe a bit old-fashioned, but this is always working!).

The steps to create a card like this one are so easy and quick done!

• I stamped the big orange halos with Versamark and added the embossing powder, then melted it.
• I stamped the sentiment and the little flowers also with Versamark, melted them and cut them out.
• Covered the flowers with masking paper, and stamped the pinstripe with black ink. A stamping tool is a big help here, if the first impression isn't as settled as you want i - you can easily stamp again on the same spot.
• Adheres the little flowers flat on the striped background in between the bigger flowers.
  Folded the banner and adhered it with dimensional foam tape on the card.
• To give the glowers a little bit of special extra I added Nuvo Drops to their centers.
