A Watercolour Poppy

Once again I have moved away from Christmas Cards

to make this Thank You card to send to a friend.

 

 

I do love the soothing effect water colouring has

on me. I find it so relaxing.

 

This is another CAS card - my favourite lately.

I have used a metallic card stock for

my base and first layer.

I decided to add a spritzed background colour

using Tim Holtz Dried Marigold

adding a few speckles for interest.

Now to add some text to the background

from 49 and Market

as part of the criteria for the

CAS Watercolour November Challenge

at The CAS Watercolour Blogspot

 

 

I then went on to heat emboss my poppy

which is a Rubbernecker stamp

working on canvas paper rather than

the usual watercolour paper.

This was painted with some

shimmery paints I had recently bought

and thought it timely to try them out.

Both layers are slightly popped.

Inked around the edges and corner rounded.

Sentiment is also from 49 and Market.

 

Popping this one over to

Addicted to Stamps and More

for their

CAS Challenge #219 

 

 

Thanks so much for dropping in.

I love reading your Kind Words.
