CAS Watercolour Challenge

Hello again...

I had a fun afternoon with Pat and we made a few autumnal type cards and then this morning I came across another 'left over' watercolour piece I had so I'm squeezing in a quick card for this months challenge at the CAS Watercolour Challenge


Here's my entry....


I thought this kind of looked like fireworks lighting up the sky... Lots of colours with splashes of white and gold paint so I went with it


The sentiment was computer generated and even the skyline (one of my favourites) was also a left over


Sometimes it pays to keep all those bits ...

Wishing you all a lovely day 

~ Ros ~

What a fun card and wonderful water color background, Ros! Sorry about your bleak and dreary weather. It is still so very hot here...the clouds give only a little cover. I love your crocheted dolls, they must keep you happily busy! Have a good rest of your week!

Diane said...

Wow, Ros, the leftover background is amazing and couldn't be any more perfect for your skyline. You sent me that wonderful skyline die and I need to get it out and use it, I have a few plans for it in a future DT post! Love, love this my friend and glad you were able to have some 'papercrafting' fun again!!

OMGRos, that background is spectacular. I love all the splashes of gold and blue, it's the perfect backdrop for your die cut city. You have just inspired me to pull out my city die. Thanks for joining us at CAS Watercolour.

My little bits never come out like this! Oh what a beautiful, creative card, Ros! That sky is fabulous & I love the matching star by the sentiment! You're a genius, my friend!

Gosh, I love your backgrounds. They're the best, I tell you! How perfect this is with the city silhouette and the clever sentiment you made to go with it. I can never think of those clever sentiments until after the fact.

Ros, I can't believe you've made this awesome card using "left overs"! It's gorgeous! I love the gold and white splashes on the beautifully watercoloured sky! They do look like fireworks, and make a great contrast to the black city skyline silhouette! Hidkeo
