Hi everyone. Having fun with my Zig watercolour brushes again. Love them!
I made this thank you card for a dear friend. She has now received it in the mail, so I'm sharing with you. :)
I stamped and heat embossed "delightful" from Penny Black in liquid platinum embossing powder on mixed media paper. I then watercoloured with my zigs, using a damp paint brush. I added some small dots with a white gel pen to the petals to give them some extra interest. The sentiment is also heat embossed in liquid platinum and sequins were added for a little sparkle. I'm happy with this one layer CAS Mix Up (mixed media) design, which includes stamping, heat embossing, and watercolouring.
I'm entering this into Time Out Challenges #57 - Inspired by words "May all your weeds be wild flowers".
Also entering into Penny Black and More Challenge - Anything Goes.
I was so happy with my card above that I made a second card. Same design, just different colours. :)
I'm linking this card to AAA #65 - The 2nd Big Birthday Bash. Congrats to all the team as they celebrate this fantastic milestone!
And I'm entering into Simon Says Wednesday - Anything Goes. I used a Technique Tuesday sentiment for the card above.
Edited to add: Thanks to Bobby ... I'm entering this into Fusion Challenge - Something Blue. :)

I have added a new Pinterest Board. CAS Mixed Media has become a bit part of my life, so I decided to add a new board for that style of card. Would love for you to check it out if you have time.
As well, I have been working on my blog post labels and have managed to reduce them from 322 (yikes!) to 117. :) I wish it could be less, but for now, I'm happy with 117. I have added them to the bottom of my blog for anyone looking for something in particular.
Thanks for stopping by!

These are both so beautiful. Love the PB stamp (another for my wish list) and lovely colours xx
Both turned out beautifully! Love the colours you used and the perfect placement of the sequins (for some reason I really struggle with that!).
Wow, beautiful cards.
Both of your heat embossed and Zig watercolored cards are gorgeous Loll. They really pop with your gold heat embossing. Your sequins are the perfect embellishments. I am the same as Susan... I struggle with the placement of sequins..lol! TFS my friend.
These are beautiful. Loll. X
What a beautiful card using this technique! Love the extra dots you added with the white gel pen, the gorgeous shading with Zigs and love the clean, neat all white background! I definitely will try this!
Really lovely with the platinum outline and the soft - yet deep colors - on the flowers. Love the little gel pen enhancements. Too pretty! TFS (I have this stamp I think!)
I love the Zigs too and your water coloring looks amazing! Such soft, delicate, pretty cards. Great job! xxx
Beautiful as always .... love the look of that embossing powder, another addition to my shopping list! The flowers are gorgeous, love both colour combinations. I love the white doodling too xx
Just catching up Loll - been on my travels again and a quick 3 day at home before another jaunt.
