Grazing in the CAS is a gas...

can you dig it?  I've got TWO cards for those CAS Challenge girls!  First up:  CAS Watercolour - Complimentary Colors!





I've chosen Red-violet[s] and yellow-green[s] giving way to shades of each color by loosely painting Altenew pan water colors onto a piece of water color paper before cutting these gorgeous layers from another set [Altenew Garden Picks 3D dies].  Here's how it came out...


Next up?  for CAS Mix it Up where Joanna is requesting Inchies!  I have little experience with inchies, Joanna - hope this works!


Okay.  I may be disqualified - and that's OKAY!  But I've ticked the Inchies, and stamping boxes, but is this mat an approved 'your choice?'  I guess Joanna will be my judge!  Here you go:


This gorgeous leaf will be the star of the show in a few weeks... but for now, it was stamped many times and mercifully sacrificed for this Challenge!!  lol

Have a wonderful Wednesday!  Thanks for sharing a bit of it with me!

Thanks to the CAS team for this honor!!!

I'd say both qualify...that diecut flower is stunning and your "inchie" product is sure to please...it pleased me. Looking forward to what else you do with that lovely leaf.

Couldn't resist!

Both of your cards are really sweet Michele. I love the colors on the die cut rose, so pretty. The inchie leaves are stunning!! I love how you've turned the direction of them and the colors.

The first card with the layered die cut rose looks so striking and love the non traditional colourway that you have done. Classy looking second card and a great use of those little inchies x

I love how you've incorporated the yellow-green into that beautiful rose and not just the leaves, my friend! A super perfect CAS card! Love the way you've turned your leaves in different directions and the variety of colors. The black mat shows them off beautifully. Thanks so much for sharing these with us at CAS Watercolour and CAS Mix Up!

LOVE the rose with the two complementary colours, Michele! That bright yellow really pops against the reddy-purple. Lovely design with frame! And your autumn leaves are gorgeous with all the different directions. The black framing adds lots of contrast. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour and CAS Mix Up! xx

TK said...

Your 3-d rose is quite stunning with the dotted border (do tell what it is)! And your little leaves on inchies is perfect to me - love your vision with that one!

Two gorgeous CAS Watercolor and Inchies designs, Michele. I think they both qualify beautifully. TFS Hugs..Nancy

Bobby said...

You know I love the layered flower dies, Michele, and that color combo is spectacular. Can't wait to see where those leaves lead you. They already look great as inchies.

Darnell said...

Barb Ghig said...

Gorgeous watercoloring on your bloom, Michele! You're not kidding that leaf is gorgeous, and I love how you played with it here...so clever, Michele!!, and I really LOVE your color palette!

Nora Noll said...

The watercolor bloom is amazing!!! I love the colors you layered together. I think I LOVE your inchies, though. I need to make a card using some of these!!

Jeanne said...

Both cards are beautiful, Michele! Your creativity always impresses me. Did you find out of your card fit the bill for the inchies challenge? I think it looks amazing.

Papercraft Boutique said...

Wow, both cards are CAS perfection with wonderful design, Michele! The complementary colors of the rose beautifully pop against white, and I love the way you framed it.
I'm sorry for the sacrificed stamped leaves, but changing the orientation of the leaves makes these inchies look so interesting! I kind of feel "zen" from this card. Thanks so much for sharing it with us at CAS Mix Up!
