I used DIs candied apple, fired brick and aged mahogny. I also used a brusho, brillant red, for coloring of the flower. The flower stamp is Tim Holtz and I also used one of his stencils on the upper part of the card.
I sprinkled a bit of water and used a freebie stamp for the sentiment.
This card is for:
Less Is More - #310 Ombre
Happy Little Stampers - Anything Goes Watercolour + option of stencil
The Crafty Addicts - #32 Anything goes/Monochromatic

Wow Pia, this is so vibrant and impressive!! I don't know if this card is a CAS, but surely its simple design is full of interesting details! Great background with the ombre effect and the spritzing, and this flowers is so dimensional with the back stencils and pops out sooooo well!! A fabulous work of art!
It's beautiful Pia, the colours merge beautifully, and I love the touch of gold
Absolutely gorgeous I simply adore the beautiful colours and great techniques. CAS or not its one sensational card and I love it.

This looks super Pia. I find it tricky to work with red outside of Christmas as it can seem OTT, but I really like how youve used it here. Use of stencil at top band is also a very nice touch. Nicola x

A stunning card Pia, love the tone of red you've achieved with these colours, especially with the water splattering. Love the gold thread, give the flower dimension.

I came home tonight and found this beautiful card waiting for me . Thank you so much - it is totally gorgeous and the words inside mean a lot to me.
So vibrant and cheery, great job on your water coloring and the splatters!
Love the vibrancy of this card, xxxx
Pia, this is very beautiful ! Great design and i like your playing with different kind of reds. The flower is an eyecatcher !
Oh I adore this! I love how you used the stencil only partly in this card and your ombre look is just fantastic. Great job Pia! And thanks for your card by the way, it arrived a couple of days ago, thanks for your kind words and the card design is so great! I'd love us to make an Easter kit swap... What do you think?
I think it can pass as CAS because apart from the flower and twine, the rest of the card is one-layer, so its CAS in my book!! Beautiful water colouring and love how you kept it mainly the same colour, just in different strengths. Its a stunning card and I'm so glad you shared it with us at Happy Little Stampers!!
woowww Pia
the flower colored perfectly wooohoooo
The string is great there Pia

Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge!
Sigh-- so beautiful. You nailed the poppy's color, and the inky background is just... delicious. This is CAS in my book. Love it.
Amazing card.
Thank you for joining us at The Crafty Addicts!
Good Luck and hope to see you again.
