Today's card was inspired by the wonderful Loll....Who needs no introduction x.
For the mid month inspiration post Loll did a fun technique, which I was keen to try.
I loved the idea of the background not being black.
If you want to see CAS at it's best pop over to Loll's Blog.....
Here is my card....
I used a maple stencil and Lindy Magicals for the water colours.
I popped on transparent paste through the stencil and let it dry completely.
I then sprayed the whole card with 'Dark Chocolate Truffle' from Lindy's.....
Wiping away the spray from the resist of the paste.
I loved how the gold from the spray pooled around the stencilling.
I attached the panel to foam and heat embossed the edges with gold.
I finished off with stamping the sentiment three times to represent
The CAS Watercolour celebrating their third birthday....Where does time go? x
I would like to say at this point that I had intended to cut the panel in half
and make two cards........ I loved it so much I couldn't!
To try and keep it CAS I made a larger card.........!
Happy Birthday to the very creative Design Team over at The CAS Watercolour x.
Photographing the bling from the Lindy's was hard so squinting a little might help!......
Thank you Loll for the inspiration x

Wow, stunning technique and stunning effect, Mac So much texture and colour.
Simply wonderful Mac. xx
Mac, this is beautiful. I love everything about it from the stamping of the word 3 times, the lovely colour and shine of the leaves to the gold edges. That's a very neat trick to keep it CAS, will have to remember that one xx
I like the pooling gold, too, my friend... and you are right: beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!
You are so smart to add white space by enlarging the card - I'm going to file that idea away for another CAS challenge! xx

This turned out fab! I really like the brown as the background, it makes the orange pop and also goes well with the gold accents. Pretty! Hope you have a great day!
Absolutely STUNNING Mac! I too love how the spray pooled around the stenciling as it gave it that wonderful touch of metallic and defined the leaves nicely! The colors look amazing and just perfect for Autumn!! Thanks for sharing!! HUGS
Gorgeous red color and wonderful texture! I bet the card just glows in person. :-) We are so pleased that you joined us this week at Watercooler Wednesday.
This is STUNNING, Mac! I LOVE the vibrant colours of your watercoloured leaves. This is such a fun technique and you've done it to perfection. I love the colour of your background which is striking, but doesn't take away from the gorgeous leaves. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour, Mac! xx
Stunning outcome.

Wow, this is beautiful. Love the vibrant orange flowers along with the sparkle and shine. Lindy's has some great products.
Beautiful maple leaf card. Amazing texture and dimension. Gorgeous rich autumn colours. The pooling looks so cool.
Simply stunning!! I'd love to see the process as I'm not quite sure I understand how you did this ... Either way is a unique and amazing creation!

Wow this is so beautiful Mac! great stencilling and the leaves look so lovely in those bright Autumn colours too. Another clever technique here ;) Viv xx
I love how intense the colors of the leaves stand out on this subdued background. This is an excellent autumn card, but you might as well send it with a fervent declaration of love. These colors are stunning.

What a fab technique, must try that one. Your card is the evocation of autumn so perfect for this month's challenge at Uniko. TFS. :)
Beautiful card, Mac.Love Autumn colours and it's a great technique again.
Gr,Sylvia
great technique, so much autumn in this card
Gorgeous maple leaf card, Mac! The Dark Chocolate Truffle color in the background brings the leaves forward. The gold pooling is so cool, making outlines of the leaves. Love the shine from the transparent paste and the shimmer (squinting, squinting) from Lindy's!
