Try It Tuesday

Hi all for another "Try It Tuesday".  Can you believe that June is upon us?  Almost summer and we haven't had a Spring yet.  My dh says, "it always evens out", so I hope we have a long summer flowing into a warm autumn.

I've got two cards for you today, showcasing a Momas stamp set of 9 (3 images and 6 sentiments) called "Hibiscus and Lily.  Both of the colored images are one and the same.  This morning I had the card on the far left completed.  I love CAS, but it was boring me and I couldn't find just the right embellishment........  Later, I attacked the card and tore off the matted image, fussy cut the image, popped it onto a sponged piece of cardstock and the card you see on the right is what I ended up with.  Rummaging through my stack of drawers, I found a piece of metallic mesh, which I laid over white cardstock and sponged with color.  I think I should have held out for just the right embellishments for the CAS card, what do you think?
