August CAS Mix Up Reminder

Hello, 
Time for a reminder card for CAS Mix Up August challenge. This month it is watercolouring, our host is Loll and the theme is beach.



I am very pleased to report that our excessive heat has gone and we now have a very comfortable 22C but unfortunately the sky is grey but there is still no rain for us. Thunderstorms for everyone except us, it seems. Never mind our turn will come.

I struggled to come up with an idea for my reminder card (think I might have said that for my first card too), but eventually something happened and I produced this card:


It was quite hard to take a good photo of this card because of the colour and the card is coated so it has a shine. It was also quite dark when I took the photos so I had to use my light box.


I took a strip of cold pressed watercolour card and stamped and heat embossed the shell and star fish before colouring with my Zig real brush pens. I used a spellbinders edge die to cut the card front and attached the watercolour paper behind the edge. To finish I stamped and heat embossed the beach sign. I like to think that the shells and starfish are leading the way to the beach.


I do hope you are able to join us this month. I shall look forward to seeing your card in the gallery.

I am also sharing this at:

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

    Lovely cool colours which reflect the beach and what a pretty leading edge which really lends itself to the placement of the shells.

    This card is precious. The soft warm colour tones of this card makes it to elegant. The border is a fun addition and the sign brings a special touch. The watercolouring is beautifully executed, with just enough pigment. Truly a special card.

    I love seeing these beach cards and this is so pretty. The seashells and star fish are perfect for a beach card and the soft colors are lovely.
