Good morning all...
We have another lovely sunny day here -
I've been looking at some video clips from S.E Spain where friends of mine are visiting and the flooding is awful! My heart goes out to all the people affected.
Today I have a card for the CAS Watercolour Challenge
I was thrilled to get a top pick there last month, thank you ladies!
If you visit the blog there is a colour wheel to show you the opposites, my choice was red violet/ yellow green
I die cut the criss cross (AliExpress) and then cut out a centre from it to make a frame for the flowers (Clearly Besotted) which were painted using zigs.
The card is for a friend who has been going through a rough time... Just to let her know I'm thinking of her.
Did I tell you that my cat Missy brought me a teeny tiny mouse again the other day? Honestly it was only about an inch big. I thought it would probably die of shock but you know that boy of mine Mikey... He spent hours with it and the little guy was fine! He just did not want to go - every time he put it in the bushes it came right back to him. Eventually we managed to get it to safety.
Enjoy the rest of your week and thanks for looking in on me

I love everything about this card! The flowers have been beautifully coloured, the frame is so cool and the sentiment is so sweet! So glad to see your card in the CAS Watercolour gallery:)
ps: the story about the mouse is amazing!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL card Ros! Your flower is just as pretty as can be and I love how you cut the center out of the frame to make it a frame...looks fabulous! Loved the story about the mouse too! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour!! :0)
Another beauty, the colors are beautiful together. A mouse...eeeekkk...those things terrify me lol! Luckily all the outside kitties have brought me are frogs!
Love your card Ros...fabulous die. Not sure I would want to have anything to do with a mouse...good on Mikey for saving it though! xx
I love when you do your CAS cards they are always so inspiring. I love how you created your frame, and your watercoloured flowers are beautiful! Your friend will love this card Ros, very thoughtful! It's always special to receive a card when you least expect it. Thanks for sharing today. Have a great week!
So funny about the mouse!
LOVE the blooms and that frame die cut! FAB card!
Sorry for your friend and the floods in Spain
Gorgeous flowers, Ros! I love that shade of purple! The white frame is perfect add some textural interest and show off the flower beautifully! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at CAS Watercolour!
Beautifully Zig colored flowers and framing, Ros. Your hi is so sweet too. Your friend will so appreciate your thoughtfulness. I think your cat was thoughtful bringing you a live tiny mouse and Mikey was thoughtful getting it to safety. Your card and story are all about thoughtfulness...Thank You! Hugs..Nancy
Such simplicity, such beauty! Cute little sentiment and I love that twiggy die. Another mouse? I'm glad Mikey saved it. I can't remember the last time I saw a mouse. Rats live in the woods and that's why I put the bird feeders away from the house and don't keep dog water outside anymore. I don't like rats!
This is so sweet. It just makes you smile with that pretty pop of purple. So Mikey's the mouse whisperer huh. LOL They are really cute when they're that tiny, but I still don't want them around.
WOW! LOVE this gorgeous card Ros! CAS perfection with your beautiful watercoloured flowers and fantastic framing. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour! xx
Such pretty flowers, Ros! I need to use my Zigs more!
Yay to Mikey saving the tiny mouse x What a striking CAS card and so very pretty. Great colour combination and the die cut is fabulous too x.
Lovely card - I like how you did the frame. Love the new photo of you too.
Gorgeous color combination, the perfect opposites! I love the clean white background with it. Yay for Mikey! He saved the day for that little mouse!
Gorgeous colors and beautiful card - that will certainly bring a smile to your friend's face.
All the mice I get to see here are dead and beyond saving but at least they do serve as a meal so their death wasn't completely useless. You would have loved the first time Larry brought a bird, though. It looked rather big and she put it down on the lawn to watch it. It had a dying swan kind of appearence, the head lolling back and forth as if it were about to give up the ghost any minute. Then in like a nanosecond it got all alert, rushed forwards, picked Larry violently on the nose twice and just flew off! I was as stunned as the cat; I've never seen a "show" like this.
