Today's card is a CAS Water Colour Card.....
I used a stencil for the water-colouring of the flowers
and used Lindy's Magical powders to water-colour with.
As water-colouring is new to me
I felt the stencil helped me with the confidence to give it a try.
The Lindy's magical powders played really well together.
Some have the mica in them, which adds a beautiful twinkle to the card.
After the card was dry, my intention was to
stamp over the water-colouring with the co-coordinating stamp....
I had used the stencil the other way around so I couldn't!
However...I felt the card was quite loose (for me) so I was happy x
I lightly water-coloured the background with grey
and splattered with pink magicals.
The sentiment is stamped in graduating tones of green with the help of the Misti.
The die cut rectangle has been popped up onto foam.
The inspiration to make the card came from the...
The CAS Water-colour Challenge, which is Spring
I am thrilled to have been given an outstanding design shout out for this card-Thank you x

Very pretty watercoloring. I do like the grey background, it adds a lot of depth.
Oh wow--you look like an expert in watercoloring to me! Beautiful colors & love how you did the ombre sentiment! So glad you joined us at PBSC!
It's stunning! Love the dimension you created with the watercolour!
Oh it's absolutely superb ! This green together with that fushia is so awesome ! I've never think to make watercolouring using a stencil and I don't know what are Lindy's magical powders. Anyway the result is just stunning! Thanks so much for sharing and for inspiring.
