CAS Watercolour Card Challenge
Here's this month's challenge
The die cut tag can be used as a bookmark by removing the brad.
The sweet flower image was stamped on watercolor paper with
Whisper White ink and heat embossed.
I colored the flowers with Zig Clean Brush Markers
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

The white outline embossing certainly sets off this lovely image. I love the way you've got the flower centers dark then so lightly done at the edges...it makes the petals just glow. Great idea with the bookmark too. It's just beautiful, Bonnie. TFS & Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteYour watercolouring of this rose image is AMAZING, my friend. Love the colours, shading, and subtle background against the white embossing. How clever to attach this pretty tag with a brad so it can be used as a bookmark. xx

Your beautiful softly colored rose reminds me of a wild rose...so pretty and dainty. I LOVE your tag design and how it can be reused as a tag..creative idea my friend. TFS Bonnie. Hugs...
ReplyDeleteThe white heat embossing keeps the rose looking so soft - perfect with the shades of pink you used. Love the bit of texture on the card base.
