STAMPloration CAS Card Challenge: Mid Month Inspiration May 2020

Hello everyone! I am back with another card for the Stamplorations CAS Card Challenge.
As usual, you need to make a CAS card, the theme for the month is Optional Color Twist: Lemon Yellow
We don't have many rules to keep it easy to play along. You are challenged to create a CAS card with or without the optional color twist. You may enter up to 3 CAS cards. Remember to link to this blog post and display the challenge graphic to be eligible for the prizes. You can use any craft products you want, but if you have STAMPlorations stash, we would love to see what you create with it. And of course the most important rule - have fun!
Here's my card:
I masked out a hexagon with painter's tape and watercolored the interior. The sentiment is a sticker from 
Good Things - Clear Stickers, the set has some beautiful sentiments. Finally, I cut one edge of the watercolor cardstock panel with the Art Edges - CUTplorations die and mounted it on a kraft cardstock base.

I've used the Bloom Succulently ARTplorations Stencil to create the watercolored circular panel for my card.
I began by tracing out a circle on white watercolor cardstock and masking out the exterior of the circle with masking fluid. I then placed the stencil on top of the masked circle and added distress inks in various colors using blender brushes. Finally, I went over the inked areas with a waterbrush to create a watercolor effect.
I added the sentiment from the Spring Time - Clear Stickers set. To finish the card I added some sequins and diecut the panel with the Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies - CUTplorations
 set.
I hope you like my card, thanks so much for stopping by!
