Hi everyone. It's the start of our last CAS Mix Up challenge for 2020. Bonnie (Stamping with Klass) is hosting our Watercolour challenge - Off the Edge. Make a CAS watercoloured card with an off-the-edge design and join us in our gallery!
We are thrilled to have Michele (I Card Everyone) as our Guest Designer this month. Welcome Michele!
I stamped this new-to-me image Azalea (Power Poppy) in black ink and heat embossed in clear. I watercoloured using distress inks. I've used Kathy Racoosin 's technique of using gray to add shading to an image. After the image was watercoloured, I used a dark gray zig watercolour marker to colour into all the nooks and crannies around the outside of the image. I used my waterbrush to move and soften the colour. The shading gives the image more depth.

To finish, I stamped my sentiment and heat embossed in clear to match the flowers. And I took a white Posca pen to add white to the stamens. I love this pen! :)

Wonderfully colored, beautiful image, Loll
What beautiful watercolouring Loll, the dimension achieved is spectacular and the ombrage really makes this image pop out. I love your design to the off the edge challenge. Thank you dear Loll, for all you do, you are a dedicated and passionate leader. xx
This is a beautiful image and the colouring is gorgeous Loll. I love the off the edge look too, a great choice of theme by Bonnie, and the finish is so crisp and clean and the white Posca pen highlights on the stamens look great. x
The gray shading is so subtle but adds so much to highlight the lovely flowers. I like the off the edge look.
Beautifully done Loll, those flowers look so pretty and I love the shading around the edge ....... gorgeous card! xx
Wow, beautiful! You know how I love my Power Poppy stamps. This one is Marcy's all time best seller. You did such a lovely job with the coloring and I love it off the edge. Gray works wonders for your shading!
What a beautiful card Loll with such pretty water colouring x. Great depth too x.
You continue to amaze me with your exceptional coloring, Loll! I love these fabulous azaleas! The gray shading is subtle, but does add depth to the image!

What a beauty! I love your watercolouring and the whole card is so pretty!
Beautiful card your watercoloring is wonderful x
Another beautifully watercolored floral card. Love how it’s stamped off-the-edge from the side.
I love these flowers and even more the way you painted these flowers. Great depth, gives a full 3D feeling. I have the impression that if a bee came, it would have entered this flower. Incredible
xx
Simply stunning and breathtaking. Such beautiful deeply coloured blending. Just beautiful Loll.
what a beautiful floral stamp Loll - and you colored it so wonderfully - beautifully blended! xx
Beautiful azaleas, Loll - just love how you colored them and your grey shading looks amazing!!
