Hello-
Today I had a wonderful tele crafting session with Peggy. She was a lot more efficient than I was. But I do love the card I created. It was inspired by Less is More (Red & Gold) and CASMix UP Card Challenge (Watercolor and off the edge.)
I started with Simon Says Stamps Center Cut Holiday Floral stamped and embossed in gold on cold press watercolor paper. I used a red Karin marker and some red gold Gansai Tambi watercolor to selectively color in bits of the stamp which was stamped off the edge of the paper. Once done, I fussy cut the bottom edge and mounted it to a red card base. I love the drama of the dark red and the lighter watercolored panel.
Thanks much for visiting!
what a wonderful design, Cat - love it!!
ReplyDeleteMy jaw dropped when I saw this on IG, Cat! A stunner!
ReplyDeleteLovely interpretation of the red/gold theme and to making it fit the other challenges too

ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous, love the gold and red and it is a great interpretation of the off the edge challenge. So lovely to see you in the CAS Mix Up gallery. that was definitely a productive tele crafting session xx
ReplyDeleteWow, this is gorgeous! I love how you put the image at the top of the panel! The red card base is so perfect here, very Christmassy!
ReplyDeleteI had to read all the comments because I knew they were all going to praise this card!! It's stunning, Cat. I love everything about it. I have a question for you - about the Karin markers - I'd love to know what you think about them, and if you can compare them to the Zig Real Brush markers. Jeanne
ReplyDeleteI was water coloring last night - a poinsettia!! with the Zigs which is why I asked you about the Karin markers. My zigs seem to be getting dry. Forgot to add that to my first comment.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card and coloring!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is as gorgeous as it is elegant!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Really great card, Cat
ReplyDeleteRich, dramatic, striking ... this is so elegant and stylish, Cat ... so festive! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteMy heart beats for gold and red. This is truly beautifully coloured, the restricted colour palette works perfectly for this off the edge card. Thank you so much for joining us at CAS Mix Up!
ReplyDeleteLove the contrast of the lighter colored off the edge stamped and watercolored fussy cut flowers and the red "white" card base. A real beauty, Cat. So pleased you joined us at CAS Mix Up. Love and Hugs..Nancy
ReplyDeleteThe red background is so perfect for showing off these gorgeous poinsettias, Cat! This is such a stunning card! I'm so glad you shared it with us at CAS Mix Up!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning CAS card! The off the page stamping really works well, and your watercolouring sets off the poinsettias a treat. Thanks for playing in our colour challenge at Less is More.
