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 stunning card and the 'off the edge design' looks fabulous x. I love the red cardstock too x.
Just love your off-edge poinsettia border, Cat - gorgeous coloring and so beautiful on the rich red card!!
That looks really classy!!
Oh Cat, this is absolutely wonderful. I love the way you placed that wonderful, gold embossed, watercolored poinsettia stamp. Fabulous CAS design, and perfect for our challenge at Less Is More. Thanks so much for playing with us!
WOW...this is GORGEOUS Cat!! I love the dramatic look too of the floral against the deep red card base, and your water coloring is SO pretty! Great fussy cutting skills too my friend!! Lovely, lovely card!! Hugs. :0)

This 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
Wow, 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!
I 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
I 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.
Gorgeous card and coloring!
Wow, this is as gorgeous as it is elegant!
Beautiful! Really great card, Cat
Rich, dramatic, striking ... this is so elegant and stylish, Cat ... so festive! Hugs, Anita :)
My 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!
Love 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
The 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!
What 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.
