I took a Tropical Vibes class with Jenn Shurkus several weeks back.  I learned a lot about coloring and ink blending but you know I still have a CAS heart.  My card today is a stripped down model using some of the techniques I learned in class.  There is stenciling, ink blending, copic coloring and water splashing involved.

The cards shown here underneath my card are ones we worked on in class......but when I was left on my own you can see what I created....needed that white space....Jenn is a terrific teacher and I know she wouldn't mind one bit!

I used the sketch today from Make the Cards Challenge.

And Global Design Project is having a Thank You Challenge.
