CAS Watercolour Card Challenge

I'm so happy to have had a little bit of time to watercolor with a new to me Altenew Poinsettia, and die, yesterday … I thought it might be worthy of a 2nd birthday party at CAS Watercolour Challenge! 


There are five Distress Inks [my go-to for water coloring] used in the making of this card... shades of the required orange, green, brown :
  • Spiced Marmalade
  • Rusty Hinge
  • Crushed Olive
  • Peeled Paint
  • Gathered Twigs
Very simple, and quick, with a bit of splattering that soon became embossed by the copper of my sentiment!

Hope they like it!  Thanks for the visit - always puts a smile on my face … xx

Happy birthday!!
