Pink Calla Lilies

Hi everyone.  Having fun playing with the CAS Watercolour April Challenge - Green & Pink.  Love this colour combination.

For the card above, I used a beautiful stamp gifted to me by my friend Deepti (designer of the stamp - Dee's Artsy Impressions).  I heat embossed the image in Liquid Platinum and then watercoloured using my Zigs.  I stamped the sentiment in soft green to match.

I thought this would be perfect as a square card, so I cut down the image panel. Happy with how it turned out.

If you get a chance, come check out the gallery.  So many gorgeous Green & Pink cards.  I know you'll be inspired. :)

Paper:  Mixed media (Strathmore 140 lb.)
Ink:  Versamark; Distress Inks:  Picked Raspberry, Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron (Tim Holtz)

    Gorgeous calla lilies heat embossed and colorer with your Zigs. It was the perfect size image and sentiment for your 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" format. TFS Loll. Hugs..

    OMGosh Loll, I just used this very same image! lol Of course your card is way prettier than mine. I so need to remember to emboss some of my images as I love the look you get when you do it. Your pink and green color combo is lovely, one that I love. I love your watercoloring with your Zigs too. I just don't get as good results, but I keep trying! lol Have a blessed Easter Loll!!! Hugs, Brenda

    I don't think I've seen this lovely stamp of Dee's and, wow, she really did an amazing job drawing these beautiful lilies and you did an amazing job coloring them and showcasing them, Lolly! I think there is a picture last Easter on my blog of some gorgeous pink Callas that Kevin brought home and they looked no better than this!! Enjoy the holiday weekend!! Hugs, Dolly
