Enjoy the view

Here's a card I created a few weeks ago with this month's CAS Watercolour challenge in mind. However I did not want to post it before the card had reached its recipient in the US. It seems that the card still has not arrived, but with the linky closing in a few hours, I decided to post it anyway, hoping the recipient is not a regular visitor of my blog.


I had intended to create a simple wash of colours to create a night sky, but it looked odd without a horizon behind the windows. So I decided to create some greenery and some flowers, and I'm glad I did, because I love the result. So much so that I was tempted to keep the card for myself lol.

The stamps are from the Naturally Inspired Stamp of Approval collection (Catherine Pooler), the cat is from an old NBUS The Cat's Pajamas die set, while the window die is from a new NBUS Die'sire die.

Challenges:

CAS Watercolour - Silhouette


CAS Mix Up - stamping, watercolour wash +
die cutting/embossing


HLS CAS - Silhouette


HLS Watercolour - Anything goes


Darnell's NBUS challenge

    Good to know that there's other people out there who also think of keeping cards for themselves! I totally see why you would with this one; the background is beautiful and the card as a whole is terrific!

    Your card caught my eye in the NBUS link-up. I love the texture and the soft watercoloring of the sky. It's just gorgeous.

    I love the beautiful colors that are outside your window design. And, of course, the sitting kitty is a great asset to your design too.
