CAS Watercolour Challenge February 2019


Marcia is asking for Red & Pink for the CAS Watercolour February 2019 Challenge. I sure hope she'll accept shades of Red & Pink, because that's the best I could offer from my Zig collection!  Specifically:  Carmine & Light Pink!  [okay, did anyone else just think of Laverne & Shirley?] 

Here's the end result, using Altenew's Cherished Memories stamps, and dies:



Okay.  I'll admit... it all looks pink to me!  lol  Well.  It was fun to practice with my Zigs - those grey leaves were much easier!

    Gosh! I just this minute posted my entry and here is yours. Incidentally, my card looks predominantly pink, even though I colored in red and pink, so hope it is accepted. Yours looks much more red.

    LOL, I hadn't thought of Laverne and Shirley, Michele, but now the them song is ringing in my head. I looks like you have shades of pink and red to me! Love the contrast with the soft gray! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at CAS Watercolour!

    Wow ... you are on a roll Michele! Gorgeous red and pink blooms. Yes, zig reds look more like pink, but we all know you used red and pink! The gray leaves look amazing with this CAS design. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour! xx

    I think Zig reds are hard to do, especially with water, Michele. But it doesn't matter because what you did is beautiful.

    Ah, the Big Ragu! Thanks for the memory! Those flowers are gorgeous, and I definitely see the Carmine Red in there!

    Oh that Carmine! Such a fun show! But the Carmine on your card is way more glam than The Big Ragu! Gorgeous flowers!

    Haha, yes, I think think of Laverne and Shirley! No nice reds in the 48 set of Zigs, but I did get a few nice reds on Amazon to add to my collection a while back. Your flowers look great with the carmine and light pink-as close to red as you are going to get with your set and I love it! Looking red and pink enough to me! You work well with those Zigs my friend. I need a lesson on them as I don't do as good-but still enjoy them anyway. lol Hugs, Brenda

    I mean, honestly, why is there no red in the Ziggies?! But no worries, M, your beautiful shades of red and pink look stunning on this heartfelt sympathy card! Hugs, Darnell CAS WCCC GD

    Simply gorgeous, Michele! Your coloring of the leaves is amazing! The textured front panel and the light gray card base highlight the red & pink blooms.
