Three Challenges, One CAS Card

On a cold and snowy day, it's nice to sometimes think ahead to spring by making a card! I was inspired by three different challenges to do just that. My latest card started with this week's Muse challenge and a card by Tracey. 

I was inspired by Tracey's overall layout. die cut main panel, the springtime colours, and CAS (clean and simple) design. Incorporating the current CASology cue, CLEAR, and Paper Smooches' January four-colour challenge, here's what I ended up with: 

I used four colours of Twinkling H2Os — playful peony, iris petal, mango freeze and celadon — to paint the flowers. I also added a light halo around the image and filled in the outline letters with green. I suppose if I'd left them uncoloured, they would count towards the clear cue too, but my glass jar will have to do.

I was hoping a close-up would show some of the shimmer... not really.
