Watercolour Garden

Hello.  It's time for a new challenge at
CAS Watercolour

Here's my card....


Loll is our host this month and she chose
Must include a garden (not just a flower)

It was just the push I needed to get out these stamp sets that had
been sitting in my NBUS box for ?*!? years.

I used various distress inks to build my garden using some water
on the flowers after stamping.

I don't know why it took me so long to use these stamps!

Hopefully I will have an excuse to use them again soon.

We have a new designer on our CAS Watercolour team
Marcia Hill has joined us and we know you will be
as happy to see her there as we are!

Our fabulous Guest Designer is Nonni.
She was the winner of the January challenge.

We're sad to say goodbye to Christine as a designer for CAS Watercolour.
We'll miss her wonderful watercolour designs although she promises to join in these challenges.
And we're super excited to have Christine join us as a designer at
CAS Christmas Card Challenge.
Our very first challenge starts tomorrow.

Whew! A lot going on.

Hope to see your gardens at
CAS Watercolour


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!
