I used a beautiful die-cut flower that was gifted to me by my friend Hideko. Isn't it pretty??!! She sent me several to play with, so you'll be seeing more of these. :) Thanks Hideko!
I watercoloured the die-cuts with distress inks and then added them to my card base along with a stamped sentiment. I added some liquid pearls to the center of the flower, but they don't show up in the photo. Simple, CAS design.

So classy and so perfectly CAS and incorporating a fabulous technique with how you've coloured the die cut flower. Wonderful colours and an amazing card x.
Simply beautiful watercolored with FAll colors card design, Loll. I love your CAS design that makes your flower the star of your card. TFS Hugs...Nancy
I find this colour combo a challenge, but you use them so effortlessly. Gorgeous watercoloring and shading of these beautiful diecuts from Hideko, Loll. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the rest. xx
I heard cornflowers' joyful singing from my computer just now so I tracked it down and here I am! ;-P
Your coloring is amazing, Loll! You used only a few colors, but the flowers have so much depth and interest. The chocolate liquid pearls must be a shinier accent IRL. I love the elegant and simple design too!
Thank you so much for turning the die-cut into this beauty!
Hideko xx
It's CASimply gorgeous Loll. Beautiful in those autumn colours. Those tiny pearl centres add just that little bit of texture for a great finish.
Delightful card Loll! QUESTION: Who makes that beautiful die???????????????????????????

These die cuts are so perfect for watercolor and you've done them beautifully, my friend! Love the different shades of orange and green blending together!

I love this color combo, too :) Such a beautiful floral die cut...how sweet of Hideko to send some of them off to you! I love your CAS design, Loll...It's perfect for all the details in the flowers and your sentiment is lovely!
I have tried to color a die cut and that's no easy job! I ended up giving up. Yours turned out beautifully! I just found the working area too small or I'm too clumsy. I do love the blend of color on this gorgeous blossom! How fun to play with a new die cut!
Loll, you are amazing at colouring die cuts, this is definitely and art form :) Gorgeous card :)
What a super die cut, love the effect the watercolour has on it. :)
Your die cut flower is amazing Loll...you've blended the colors just beautifully! You truly didn't need anything else on this card but the sentiment...it is definitely CAS perfection! I passed on your hug to Darnell yesterday, and what a joy to finally meet her and Bev, Anita, Kelly, and of course to see Kara again. Fun, FUN weekend!! Hope yours was great too! Hugs.

Everything in this card agrees. Colors, form and content. I love how you colored the cut out element. Thanks to this, this paper flower gained an additional dimension. I love both ideas and performance.
