Hello!
I hope all is well with you... My son shared his awful cold with me and it wasn't the best way to start the new year... Still, today my head is a lot clearer and I got some daffodils and tulips which make me a happy girl. As it happens, DH and I celebrate our wedding anniversary today.
So today's card is the one that I made for my DH, inspired by the new challenge at CAS Watercolour
Blues, greens and inbetweens - My favourite colours and shades that are in in my Watercolour Confection box
Now, that flower is from a very old stamp set by the English Stamp Company and I'm guessing it is supposed to be a waterlily as the set is 'oriental' but I'm not worrying about that, Stamp it, emboss in clear E/P, paint it draw a stem and it can be anything I want... Right? So I did two and fussy cut them
Anyway, it was a last minute thing... I couldn't not give DH a card and I haven't been well enough to even think, so thank you to Bonnie at CAS Watercolour for the inspiration. Oh, and DH loved it too, which is always a bonus.
Have a great day and thanks so much for your visit.
Till soon

Hello Ros,
I've just been having a catch up on your recent posts and enjoying all the cards you made. You have to be the Background Queen in blog land - I marvel at all the beautifully blended panels you come up with - usually in my favourite colours too! I hope your cold soon melts away and that 2020 is a good year for you and your family.
Hugs

Pretty~pretty card and of course love those colors!! I surely hope your cold goes away soon, they are such pesky things!! DH had one right after me and of course he made me as miserable as he was (men are BAD patients when sick)..hah!! Have a great week ahead, our weather is to be pretty good for the week of January!!
I Love how you added stems to your waterlilies and painted with the blue/green shades to make the flowers your own creations. Your CAS designs are always so unique and so you Ros. TFS another beauty and Congratulations on your Anniversary. Happy that your cold is much better too. Looking forward to many more of your gorgeous creations in the New Year. Hugs..Nancy
Sorry to hear about your awful cold! I’m just getting over one, too! I just hope I don’t give it to my husband for he’s still recuperating from knee surgery. Anyways, your card is just lovely with the gorgeous blue flowers! Pretty white die cut, too! Sending warm anniversary wishes to you and your husband! Take care, hugs!!
Happy Anniversary for yesterday Ros and what a fabulous card, which is so striking and love how you 'made' the flowers x. Hope your cold clears up soon x.
Happy anniversary, Ros!
The beauty of the blues and greens of the flowers is highlighted by all the white space. Love the colors and the layers of the panels and the die-cuts.

Happy, happy anniversary to you guys! Wishing you many happy times ahead, dear friend. Love the look of your painted flowers & I definitely need you to draw stems for me!
It's what I call "everyflower" and it's certainly not limited to a waterlily. Looks a little bit like a dahlia, in fact. For sure it's absolutely beautiful in your watercolor blues and gorgeous white card you created for it to sit on. Love the die you adorned it with. Same as on the birthday card you sent me. Happy anniversary, Ros! I hope you keep on feeling a little better each day.
Happy belated anniversary dear friend. Sorry I have been missing in action so long. The holidays were a blur and I don't seem to have slowed down yet. The card is beautiful in your signature colors. Hope you are feeling better now. Hugs!
What a beautiful card
you also have a nice blog. I started to follow you. I want to invite you to come and take a look at my blog and maybe you would like to follow me too

What beautiful flowers Ros and in such pretty shades of blue and green and love the way you added the stems and the die cut foliage and sentiment, plus the dry embossed stitched triangle which all add up to a beautiful card. Sorry not to have commented before but have been away for a week. Hope your cold is a lot better now. x
Now here's a card that deserves the word "stunning," Ros! That bold bright blue just pops off all that delicious white and I'm sure hubby loved it! Happy Belated Anniversary and best wishes for many many more!! I hope you're all better now and you have a happy and healthy new year!! Hugs, Darnell
I like the strength of colour ... blended beautifully and great design.
Gorgeous anniversary card for your DH, Ros!! Happy belated anniversary! The mix of greens and blues is gorgeous on these blooms ... it almost looks like it has a light behind it, with the colours so clear and vibrant. Love the contrast with the all white background. xx
Happy belated anniversary to you and your husband! Your card is beautiful, and I'm in total agreement that this flower could be any kind you want!
A belated Happy Anniversary to you Ros and I hope you are feeling all better now too! What lovely watercoloring on your pretty blooms - love that die cut vine piece hanging down and the subtle debossed triangle! xx
Gorgeous blooms! I love the way you add white die-cuts for extra interest!
They ask you to use cold colors, which you do - and yet the card floods my heart with warmth! Can that be attributed to the Love sentiment... or maybe it's because the warmth of the card creator...?
