So I used up a little artistic license with today's MFT Sketch. I kept it nice and CAS as always but used the watercolors in the background for the layers in the sketch...
I cut out the watercolor design with the Wonky Rectangle die and then added that to the card base. I used the Arrow Greetings die to create the black hello and attached it to a piece of vellum. I wanted to use vellum for that portion of the sketch, to let the color show through.

To give it a more muted look, I popped the vellum up. Popped it up you say? Like as in with foam tape? Nope! I actually stacked 5 of the same "hello" die cuts and glued them all together. Then I took that stack and glued it to the back of the vellum hello and attached it to the card front. Here is a side shot so you can see.....
The thin top black layer is the visible sentiment, the the vellum and then 5 stacked up hellos underneath. Fun huh? This is a great way to pop up vellum by hiding the actually pop up. :)
Here is this week's sketch......
Stop over to the MFT blog to see more Sketch cards for this weeks challenge. Thanks so much for stopping in!
