Here is a card I made with this set:
Creative Nugget: This card was my attempt at CAS! After masking off a border with Post-It notes, a paint brush and some distress inks were used to lay down strokes of color on watercolor paper that had been brushed with water. The paper warped a little as it dried, so I used an iron, no steam, to flatten it. When dry, the images were stamped using Versafine Onyx Black ink. This panel was mounted to True Black card stock and attached to a Solar Crest card base. No muss...no fuss...easy, peasy! That's one of the advantages of a silhouette set...you can create a pretty card in no time flat!
Here's another card just finished this morning for the CAS and Technique Challenges over at Splitcoaststampers.

I love your cards! The coloring is fabulous!
Fabulous cards. I like the falling leaves and the strokes of color on the first one. I like the layout and colors on the second.
love both of your card!! I like the simplicity of the first one and the layout of the second one!
Both of your cards are so pretty! I especially like the watercoloring background you did. I hope you don't mind if I ask what is CAS? I'm fairly new to Sweet & Sassy so I'm in a learning phase but very excited about learning!
Both of your cards are beautiful and makes me want this set even more. Thanks for sharing!
Both of your cards are lovely, but that second card takes my breath away!
This is a must-have silhouette set, Cathy. Both cards are gorgeous!
Love what you did with this set. The background colors are awesome.
These cards are absolutely beautiful.Great way to silhouette!
Gorgeous, so soft and beautiful. Mary L Schreiber
Beautiful cards! Great ideas.
Great job on both! Love the "cut" image ..really draws the eye. This set has endless ideas running through my mind.
Beautiful cards and wonderful stamps and dies.
fantastic cards!!
I like both cards, but my favorite is the "thoughts of you" card. Love the way you did the background. Love the colors on both cards.
These are stunning! The background technique and simple placement of the dies just makes you want to pick these cards up! Lovely!
Both cards are beautiful! The water colors are gorgeous!
Lovely cards Cathy - you know, I never thought to use an iron to flatten warped cards, why didn't I think of that? I especially like your second card, the black bird & feather silhouettes look so striking against the pretty varigated background of color!
Cathy, how beautiful the colors you used. Great and such fitting backgrounds as well.
Love then black embossing against the bright colors on both cards. like the three panels with the sentiment centered between...and the sheet music backgrounder.
Beautiful! Love the colorwash idea and will try that soon. Simply gorgeous. And "bird things" always catch my attention. That bird looks as if he's perched for the night.
Both your cards are beautiful! I love the watercolor background on the first. And the panel pieces on the second is simply stunning. I also love the music background! I'm lovin' these new dies! TFS God bless!!
Gorgeous cards Cathy! I love the brushed color on the first one and the full sunset on the second - I really need to try these techniques! I have not used silhouette stamps much, but these are really beautiful!
These are so pretty Cathy. Love the random strokes of color with the black images on the first one... and the 3 divided panel looks awesome with the die-cut images... also like the music background! Fabulous designs as always!
Your first attempt at CAS is a HUGE success! Both cards are stunning!
Love both of these cards and I'm not just saying that to win a prize!! Great job!
Love the cards.

These are so pretty. You did a great job with CAS. The coloring is beautiful. The birds set it off.
Beautiful cards!! I really like the looks of this set with it being a solid silhouette image. Your first card is so soft and flowing and the leaves were really eye catching - made me smile. Love your second card with the beautiful panels and your sunset, along with the soft music background. Great job! Blessings~
I love both designs on these cards and how you used the new stamp set. I can see this set already being a favorite. (It's mine, already)
Wow, love both of your cards! Very cool background with the watercolor on the first, thanks for sharing your technique. Cool layout of your second card, with splitting the image/background and your sponging colors. Very pretty cards!
Lovely cards; this set is fabulous. Thanks for sharing
