CAS Watercolour Reminder - RED & BLACK

Hello friends.  Just a friendly reminder that the CAS Watercolour Challenge is open till the 24th, so you still have time to play along with us!  This month we're doing a color challenge with RED & BLACK and you can check it all out right HERE.

One of my favorite Penny Black stamp sets is critter celebration and I thought it would be cute all done up in RED & BLACK!  Take a look:


Isn't that mouse just the sweetest holding a gift and sitting right inside that pretty RED flower?!!  I stamped the image in black and then clear embossed before water coloring with my Aqua Painter and Distress Inks.


After my image was dry, I matted it with a piece of black (my white space) that I used MFT's Rectangle Peek-a-Boo Window on, and then adhered both to a white card base.  I left the sentiment off as I'm not sure what I'll be using this card for yet.  Very simple card but I love the way it turned out!


This challenge is open till the 24th and we'd LOVE to see YOU in the gallery!  You can check it all out right HERE.

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

    Such an adorable mouse sitting in the lily holding the present for the receiver Marcia - love the black framing that really draws the eye front and center! This was a great challenge focusing on just two colors! xx

    Would you believe I bought this set because I thought those little critters were so darling and I haven't even inked it up yet. Your adorable card has inspired me to get it out, Marcia.
