CAS Watercolour Reminder - Orange, Green, & Brown

Hello friends.  Just a friendly reminder that there's a little over a week left for this month's challenge at CAS Watercolour, and our host Bonnie is looking for the colors ORANGE, GREEN, & BROWN on your CAS water colored cards.

Don't forget also that we're celebrating our 2nd Birthday, and that there's a prize for the winner, so join in and play along with us!!

I kept my card for this post extremely CAS, but with a little twist...can you see it??


Can you see what I added to my row of watercolored pumpkins??


Can you see it NOW??  I love this little row of simple pumpkins from Impression Obsession by Lindsay Ostrom (D19277), and used my Peerless Watercolors to color them in.  And no, I didn't forget the BROWN color...it's in the stems!  But anyway, as much as I liked this little row of pumpkins, the card just seemed TOO plain, so since it's a Halloween card for one of my adult daughters, I got to thinking that rather than stamping a sentiment, I'd die cut one, and what better than "31" ??  I die cut the numbers using SU!'s Number Of Years and then added a Pierced Feature Frame from PTI.  Easy peasy and I love the way it turned out!!

Please join us for our 2nd Birthday celebration and play along...we'd love to see you in the gallery!!  Check out all the inspiration from the rest of the DT and also our special Guest Designer this month (Brenda), and then play along right HERE.



Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
