City Crafter 334

Hello ... Happy Tuesday!

Time for a new challenge at City Crafter and this week Kirsty has given us a sketch challenge


I flipped the sketch and came up with this


I cut strips of watercolour paper that I'd painted some time ago - It's very shimmery and you can perhaps see that in this next photo


A white die cut flower and a gold embossed sentiment finished it off



Our Guest Designer this week is the winner of week 327, Shani - Click the link to visit her lovely blog and hop on over to CCCB to see what Shani created for us along with the projects from the rest of our team..

We have the decorators in this week and it's a bit manic here... Thankfully I'm off to lunch with my girlfriends so I can escape for a while!

Thanks so much for your visit, have a great day

Gorgeous card Ros. I love the flow of your angled watercolor pieces and your beautiful die cut flower. All the angles from your sentiment too goes so well with your design. TFS Hugs, Nancy

You are so clever, Ros, to have turned the sketch and come up with this oh so stunning variation! Bravo!!! It's such a pleasure for me to be guesting with you lovely ladies this week.

One of your beautiful watercolor backgrounds that I admire so much. I certainly can see the shimmer. Love the gold, and you used the sketch very nicely!

This is fabulous, Ros! You've given me a wonderful design idea to use for my Brusho watercolor paper ~ thank you! It's been good to catch up with you. Your art work blows me away and I love your sketching and painting abilities!!

Congratulations to the new little family! We really take normal conception and delivery of babies so much for granted. It's such a miracle and so many couples have to go through hell to have it happen for them. I wish them all the best with that big bruiser, Felicity Lucy! Lovely name!

Finally I'm so sorry to hear that you have been dreadfully ill with a cold and the flu on top of it. I wish you healthy sunny days ahead!! Love and hugs, Darnell

Interesting sketch used to perfection, Ros! Absolutely beautiful card--always love your painted backgrounds! There you go again--meeting up with friends & I can't be there--guess I need to move to Liverpool--haha!
