This was a quick CAS card to make (QACAS ... ala Darnell). I sent it to a friend for their birthday which was yesterday, but with the mail to Australia being super slow from Canada, it most likely won't get there in time. :(

This is just lovely. The soft water colouring and the purple edging really make this card special xx
A gorgeous card Loll, so soft and calming - seems to me a signature of your style, I love it and so will your Aussie friend. I'm moving along with Darnell's QACAS too, hugs and enjoy your day Robyn
Beautiful card. Love the pretty collage stamp and light smooshed background. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Seize the Birthday. Have a great weekend.
Beautiful Loll, the smooshing is perfect with the colouring on the flowers.
Beautiful stamped and heat embossed collage image on your lightly smooshed background, Loll. Love how you added a border on only 2 sides of the image. TFS my friend. Hugs..Nancy
loving how your image stamped over the smooshed background Loll - an exquisite card! The panel is so beautifully mounted too, with the blue border
Blessings

The recipient will be happy with this one Loll as it is so pretty, wispy and artsy x.
Loll, I always love seeing that scripty background stamping … so happy your beautiful water coloring allowed it to shine through!

Stunning card.

Dreamy and delicate, Loll ... and wonderfully spring-like ... the silver shimmer is fabulous! Hugs, Anita :)
This is such a pretty QACAS card, Lolly! I love the design for showcasing this beautifully colored bouquet! Your friend won't even mind if it's a little late!! Hugs, Dolly
Love the image and script bg (must be all the same stamp), it's beautifully embossed and brightened up with color. I'm also enjoying the 2-sided frame
Beautiful card Loll, loving that image and how you used it. The colors are just beautiful, so sunny and happy as well as feeling summery. Which if I am correct it is summer in Australia. Loving the purple panel, it just sets that image to pop. You are just keeping your friend's birthday celebrations going a little longer and I'm sure she won't mind one bit! Hugs, Brenda
I love the look of this, Loll. I'm hoping I can CASE it with a variety of stamps.
It's so pretty, Loll! Love the white space. I sent a card to the UK and it fell into the abyss. Never was received. Same happened with a card that was sent from Australia to me. I hope your card makes it!
You have the magic touch with watercoloring, Loll! Your blooms are so pretty and I love your 2-sided plum frame...such a pretty card! Barb xx
Silver embossing and plum card stock are the perfect pair. The loose watercolouring keeps this busy stamp grounded. The recipient will thrilled as punch. It'll be like a second unexpected surprise. xx
Hi Loll, Thanks for the Birthday Wishes and this gorgeous card, love the collage theme water colouring and the colours. Thanks for the pressie too much appreciated.
Beautiful card. Love the smooshing and colours.
Such a pretty card Loll, love the soft colours and the partial frame boosts them perfectly. Thankyou for playing along at STB too, Cathy x
I love the light bleeding in the background, so beautifully emphasizes the floral background elements. Silver embossing and plum = additions look wonderful.
xx
