Fall Colours Watercolour and CAS Watercolour Challenge 2nd Birthday!

Hello there!Welcome to the start of another CAS Watercolour Challenge. This month's host is Bonnie from Stamping with Klass and she has chosen colours for her theme. This month's challenge is also a celebration of our 2nd Birthday - Yippee! Congrats Bonnie and Loll for all your hard work! Make sure you join in the fun and enter for your chance to win a fabulous prize!




I coloured the tree stamp with Distress Markers and Zig markers and spritzed and stamped. I kept repeating, using my stamp platform and sometimes using a brush instead of spritzing, until I was happy. I used a wet brush and the markers to add more detail directly to the paper. The little squirrel is from Papertrey Ink. I added the grass by freehand.




We are delighted to have Brenda as our Guest Designer this month, so why don't you pop on over to the CAS Watercolour Blog to see her card and other inspiration from the rest of the Design Team.

Thanks for visiting! I can't wait to see what you create:)

    Wow Jenny, your card is just stunning! I am loving that tree and how you did it. So majestic to me, the added squirrel is so cute and I love how you did your grass. Wish I could freehand like that! This card needs to be framed and hung it is so stunning. It was so fun doing this challenge with you! Hugs, Brenda

    This scalloped stitched frame sets off that beautiful tree so well Jenny and love the Autumnal colours in the tree, and how cute is that squirrel. The perfect scene, and a wonderful card. x

    Gorgeous tree stamped and watercolored with Distress Markers and Zig markers, Jenny! The way the colors blended is so beautiful and I love the pop of orange! The cute squirrel is a great addition to the fall scene.

    Your tree is absolutely STUNNING Jenny...I can just feel the sunlight pouring through the colored leaves the way you water colored it! And I love the whimsy of the squirrel beneath the tree too! We have several squirrels that visit our backyard because of the bird seed, and our dogs just go nuts...I think it's their main goal in life to catch one...bahahahaha!! But anyway, lovely, lovely card!! :0)

    A very late comment from me - I'm just catching up with commenting on all the CAS DT cards I missed while on vacation! Love your sweet squirrel sitting under that beautiful tree! What a wonderful way to use the CAS Watercolour challenge colours!
