This is a very CAS card using only a small part of the stamp image on a small panel that is popped up over the card base. This is done with no-line watercolouring. Happy with the bright spring colours, using Distress Inks.

Since this is CAS design and it has Spring Flowers, I'm adding this to the CAS Watercolour April Challenge.

Beautiful Loll!
ReplyDeleteThe pics are gorgeous too! x
I love how you've colored these flowers, Loll! And the little one in the top corner highlights the sentiment beautifully! I know you missed your baby but it looks like she had a great time. Bet she'll be glad to see you when she gets home and she'll stick real close!
ReplyDeleteYour dog is sooo dang cute!
ReplyDeleteLoll, may I ask you a question unrelated to this post, please? I was looking at Fiddling Around’s post in which she used sticky-back vellum. I have never heard of this, do you know where I could purchase this please? Only reason I ask you is because you commented on it.
Thanks so much!!
This is so crisp and lovely, Loll. I love the mixed font on the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteStunning card, Loll. Love the photos of the best of pals! xx

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful in it's simplicity and bright colors Loll - what a sweet little flower you used on this! xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful coloring on the flowers and a pretty design. I love the font of the thanks. The pictures just warmed my heart. It is wonderful to have a best friend even as a dog. They are so sweet together and lucky not to have to shelter in place.
ReplyDeleteCAS and absolutely BEAUTIFUL card Loll! Love, LOVE the greens and pinks together...definitely says SPRING to me! And looks like Jessie had a great sleepover with her best friend! (Well, best friend next to you and Gord that is!!) :0)
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done, Loll! I haven't done this technique in a while but you have mastered it! Love the partial stamping with that fabulous image. I also love the font of your sentiment too!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty the way you did this with the partial image and all that lovely CASness! Your green backdrop is perfect for it, too. And, ohhhhh, those beautiful dogs! The photos are very professional looking. How is it that the two of them are so perfectly coordinated (not to mention clean)? Love!
ReplyDeleteSuper lovely CAS card, Loll! Love the bright spring colors, the way you used the stamp (partially), and the big white open space! Every time I see your beautiful no-line watercoloring, I think I should try it next time.
ReplyDeleteVioleta and Jessie look so adorable sticking together. Did she run to you and Gord when she came back home? I bet she missed you too.
