This card took me out of my comfort zone with water colouring.....
I am so thankful for challenges to inspire me to give it a go....
I am so thankful for challenges to inspire me to give it a go....
This is my 'Off The Edge' Card.....
The flowers have been stamped and heat embossed with platinum embossing powder
and then coloured with Lindy's magicals, activated with water.
I shaded them a little further with a coloured pencil.
The background stencilling has been done with silver acrylic paint.
I used the matching die to make my 'Off The Edge' Card.
Finishing with triple embossing the swirly die cut sentiment.
CAS Mix Up challenge is Water colouring and 'Off The Edge'
I would love to join in with my card....
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Joanna,
who is leaving the design team at The CAS Mix Up...

Thinking of you all in these very challenging times
and thank you for finding time to stop by my blog....

This card is stunning Mac. What an excellent and bold off the edge card, I love the dark grey and turquoise together and the stencilling on the exposed inside of the card. It all looks amazing finished off perfectly with that heat embossed sentiment. I am so glad you found time to join us at CAS Mix Up this month xx

It might have taken you out of your comfort zone, Mac, but you did a fabulous job!! Wonderful shading in the flowers and a beautiful card design!
Amazing! This is so stunning, Mac, it shows no "out of comfort zone" to me -- awesome colors, coloring and shine
Mac this is a lovely card and your off the edge and interior are just stunning. Fabulously crafted. Hugs.
This is so gorgeous and I love the colors.
You've done it again!
Another fantastic creation Mac. Beautiful stencilling, beautiful blooms beautifully coloured - just BEAUTIFUL!!
So pleased you found time to join us at CAS Mix Up too! x
If this was out of your wheelhouse, it definitely does not show. This is gorgeous! Love the colours. Great pencil shading to add depth. It just pops so beautifully against the dark gray.
I am in love with this fabulous card, Mac. The stenciled background makes your beautiful watercoloured flowers to pop up. It is really a stunning card. Hugs, my friend.
WOW A gorgeous card, Mac. Just gorgeous. I love your work and always look forward to seeing it. Thanks!!
Oh, so gorgeous!! Love those pretty flowers in aqua!! Wonderful stenciling and lovely sentiment!! A fabulous off the edge card!!
This is stunning Mac and love the Lindy's Magicals to colour with some coloured pencil for a bit of extra depth and love the way you have die cut it and added the silver acrylic stencilling on the inside of the back of the card and the triple embossed sentiment really stands out. x
Your watercoloring is impeccable, Mac! Beautifully colored and place flowers! Love the stenciling and that wonderful die cut sentiment! We shall miss Joanna as much as we miss you and hopefully she will still inspire us often, as you do, my friend.
This is absolutely gorgeous!
Absolutely Gorgeous off the edge thank you card, Mac. Your stamped, heat embossed and die cut watercolored flowers are Stunning, my friend. I have never thought to use acrylic paints with my stencils. I loved the effect and loved your color choices for your card front, images and sentiment. TFS and joining us at CAS Mix Up. Stay safe and creative, dear friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
what a beautiful combination Mac, your silver acrylic paint stenciled background with your bold off the edge flower is beautiful and I love the mix of blues and greys.
Wow love the flowers and the wonderful stenciled background, such a beautiful design Mac!
Oh Mac am loving that card and most gorgeous colours here, fabulous on the edge card. Stunning flower too. xx
OMG ! Another stunning card, Mac. Can’t believe that you were not in your comfort zone. The whole card is just beautiful: from your design to your colouring, your gorgeous colours and striking stencilling. Another masterpiece! LOVE it.
Oh Mac, what a breathtaking beauty - your water colouring is fabulous on those stunning flowers, and I love how you have used them off the border of your card. The silver on grey stenciling is subtle, but accents the flowers beautifully
Stay safe
Blessings

Your card is stunning and I'm really thrilled. I particularly like the design and that you also used part of the inside. Overall, the card looks very classy and very lively!!
WOW! Mac, I don't think you leave your comfort zone. Watercolor is your forte as seen in the pictures. I love the colors you choose. Muted colors look stunning. You wonderfully put the Lindy's powders with crayons, these flowers look amazing and the location on the edge of the card makes it such a unique and beautiful card. I am glad to see your next card, unique as always. May health and safety be with you and your family. , Mac.

Oh my goodness Mac...another absolutely STUNNING card!! Your water coloring on that flower is flawless to me and I'm loving how you added some more shading with the colored pencils too! And it looks so perfect against the silver stenciled inside of the card...lovely, lovely card my friend! Wish I had done something for you to deserve a thank you card like this...you're definitely going to bring a smile to someone's face when they receive this!! Hugs. :0)
This is just gorgeous! You're so right the challenges do encourage us to try something different and you've definitely done that. The grey card against the green is beautiful and the background is just perfect. The sentiment is so stylish and finishes the card off so well. Take care and craft on. Hugs, Angela xXx
Stunning work!
What a wonderful design and the aqua and silver is stunning. This is awesome.
Swoooooon! My goodness, Mac! Gorgeousness! If this watercoloring is out of your comfort zone, then I say WOW! the mixture of colors in the petals and leaves, and those beads in the flower center are marvelous! I never thought of leaving a bit of a peek-a-boo in the center of the flower, and it certainly looks much better than having it completely covered with beads. The hint of gray-blue in the leaves is especially pretty with the charcoal gray background. IT'S PURE GORGEOUSNESS ALL THE WAY! xx
This off-the-edge card is stunning, Mac! Love the color combo, the gorgeous flowers, and the stenciled background! The shading of the flowers and leaves with the magical and the pencil coloring is amazing! The triple embossed die-cut sentiment adds elegance. Stay safe and be well, my friend!:-)

Gorgeous color combo & card, Mac! I haven't used paint through a stencil, but may give it a try. The triple embossing for the sentiment makes such a wonderful difference & is perfect!
So beautiful, Mac ... your soft watercolouring is such a fantastic contrast with the dark grey and silver ... love the look of the triple embossed sentiment (jewellery!) ... the shimmery pearly flower centre is just gorgeous! Hugs, Anita :)
How stunning is this, the colour of the flowers is amplified by the dark card space. Extremely effective offset along the edge and those embossed words of thanks look so rich and classy. I adore it.. Hugs Tracey xx
