I knew I would have to set aside a little bit of time for The Paper Players challenge #756 - Jan is asking for CAS and water coloring: two of my favorite things!
I still had my box of Wplus9 supplies within easy reach and since it's butterfly
'blooming' season 'round here their Flora and Fauna 3 set called my name...
It was very hard not to add a trio of sparkly Pinkfresh gems to this - but
I am keeping it CAS with no embellishments and just a little dimension from
those 'flutterbys!' This 'tag' die is an oldie but goodies from Neat and Tangled.
You know I couldn't ignore the bird in the set, right?
A new Penny Black die came home to roost!
They're winging their way to the appropriate galleries!

Another absolute beauty, Michelle! Those butterflies are swoon-worthy, especially against that filagree background - so elegant! Thank you for joining in with my CAS Watercolour challenge at The Paper Players.
As much as you love gray, you made these white backdrops sing with your delicate watercolored butterflies and bird.
Your watercoloring on both cards is fabulous Michele. Love the pretty butterflies on that lovely tag die and that bird & flowers looks great in that lovely frame.
These are both just beautiful!
Absolutely two stunning cards Michele. I adore birds so that is my favorite card 💖. I love the color you chose also.
You have made me love this set, Michele! You always use it so beautifully! The butterflies are so pretty on this lacy tag and the bird fits perfectly in the circle frame! I'm glad he is gracing the Color Hues gallery!
I don't know which one I like better, the butterflies or the bird... oh heck they're both marvelous!
I am hard-pressed to say which one is my favorite, as they're both beautiful. The diecut background on the first one is amazing, but that circular die on the second one - WOW! Of course, the watercoloring is stupendous as well! You did our CAS challenge proud!
So beautiful Michelle!
Your first card fits the definition of CAS to the T! No embellies needed. And I love your second helping card with that sweet bird in CH colors!
These flew straight to my heart for their beauty, Michele. Thank you for sharing!
Your water coloring skills are top notch. These are both gorgeous, but I am truly taken by that beautiful bird, colored so perfectly.
WOW...all 3 cards are gorgeous Michele! Your CAS butterfly cards are sooo pretty and the bird card is FABULOUS! Your water coloring skills are amazing and the greens and blues are just perfect for our color challenge! LOVE that new frame too!! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Color Hues!! Hugs. :0)
TWO stunning cards, Michele! The butterflies and tag on the first are both stunning; and then your second card is not only a great image but your water coloring is sheer perfection
I saw a Monarch yesterday flitting around the milkweed I told you about, Michele.. I'm surprised you didn't paint yours to match but they are lovely in the blue and purple. I love the bird inside your new frame. I need to remember to check when I get home. I think I have that stamp set.
Two terrific water colored cards, Michele! I am always so enamored by all the gorgeous dies you have. I especially love the braided circle encompassing the beautiful blue bird. Thanks for coming back to Color Hues for your second helping.
I thought I commented on these gorgeous cards yesterday, but I realized that I got lost on ebay searching for that Neat & Tangled die... LOL. Both of these cards are GORGEOUS. The colors are so wonderful as is your watercoloring. I love that PB frame too. I think I need it and I don't have to find it on ebay... or not find it.
You are both the queen of CAS and watercolouring Michele - these two are stunners! I love the simplicity of the butterflies against that pretty die and the bird amongst the flowers is gorgeous too - and what a great new frame! Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
Two more stunning cards added to your collection! Your watercoloring is so beautiful. I love that bird and it is perfectly framed with that wonderful braided circle. It's always a pleasure to find you in the Color Hues Gallery!
Beautiful soft and gentle watercolouring on both and fabulously cas. I especially love those butterflies so delicate almost life like.

Two pretty cards from a beautiful set, and delicately watercolored to perfection! The die on your first card is soooo pretty, and I'm especially fond of the PB braided die. Both so lovely!
Every time I see your beautiful watercoloring I think to myself "Jules, you need to try that again." And then I don't. LOL!! Beautiful cards as always. Thanks so much for playing with my colors here at Color Hues!
I chuckled that you didn't add three gems to your TPP challenge card. I hesitated but did add them to mine. This is one of my fav of your cards this week, the bird is wonderfully colored and positioned in that new braided die and the Plus9 set is gorgeous as you've used it. Stunning, Michele!
Just WOW! Your cards are both gorgeous!!! I love the simplicity of the butterfly card, but that bird amongst the flowers is my favorite. The circular rope frame is so pretty! CAS perfection! So happy you joined us at The Paper Players this week!
Michele beautiful cards, all of them. Your ability to play with the colours more than once a challenge is always so impressive my talented friend! Thanks again for sharing with us at the Color Hues!
