CAS Watercolour Challenge

Good morning...

You'd be hard pressed to find the 'Irish' theme in today's card unless of course you count the green and gold but the challenge at CAS Watercolour this month is to be inspired by Luck of The Irish


Well the colour green is one of my favourites and it always inspires me


Using Uniko stamps that I won some time ago, I came up with this


Stamped and embossed in a gold mix embossing powder and painted it with the lovely Confection Watercolours by Prima- Okay, so I added a little aqua in there too along with various shades of green. I've been to Ireland and believe me it has more shades of green than you can count


I also painted a die cut dragonfly and added a few white dots... The sentiment was from an Aliexpress set I bought a few years ago.

I hope you are all well, thanks so much for your kind comments
Be safe

Green is the most soothing of all colors, I think. Add a little blue and it's even better! Such pretty stamps you have, Ros. Beautiful sentiment and cute little dragonfly. All beautifully combined on a lovely CAS card!
