CAS Watercolour May 2019 - For A Child

Hello friends.  Karen is hosting this month's challenge at CAS Watercolour and it's a FUN one...she's looking for cards FOR A CHILD.


The only hard part about this challenge for me was which stamp to choose...I have so many CUTE stamps that would work well for a child!!  In the end I chose a newer one (to me) from MFT called It's A Mice Time To Celebrate.


My simple little card started with a bit of smooshing with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink on the background panel and then when dry, die cutting it with a Lil Inkers Stitched Rectangle die.  Next I die cut from black cardstock the Happy Birthday circle (SSS) and offset it just a bit on the right hand side of the panel and then attached to a white card base.  My happy little party mouse was water colored with my Zigs and an Aqua Painter and then pop dotted inside the birthday die cut.


We can't wait to see all your CUTE water colored images in our gallery this month...what a fun and happy place it will be!  Remember that the challenge is open till the 24th and to check out all the adorable inspiration from the DT and our special GD Bobby right HERE to play along.

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

I LOVE this card! What a sweet mouse, Marcia! He looks happy in his party hat, carrying that big present. The bright pink smooshing in the background is perfect with the off-the-edge black circle die-cut sentiment. CUTE!! xx

I love everything about this, Marcia! The splashed pink background is such fun and the black birthday circle die cut is a wonderful contrast! And that mouse is adorable with his birthday present! What a fun card, my friend!

Oh, my gosh, so cute! I just love the smooshed background and partial sentiment circle, but that happy little mouse steals my heart! I'm in the same place -- the hard part is which cute stamp to choose!
