For today’s blog hop I created a CAS card using the newly released Fancy Enjoy Die and Charming Foliage Die Set.

I started by using a patterned paper from Celebrations 6x6 Paper Pack as my background, I simply added some black ink splatters for more interest.

Next, I die cut the beautiful "enjoy" die to create black, bold statement and I combined it with two branches from Charming Foliage Die Set. I die cut them out of white cardstock and used green markers to colour them in.

I simply stamped my background with Obsidian Pigment Ink and combined it with a floral arrangement from Enjoy the Ride - Blooming Ephemera embellishments as a centrepiece. To finish my design, I added few leafy branches cut out of Climbing Leaves Stamp Set stamped on white cardstock and coloured with green markers.
