Half Way at CAS Mix Up

This months 'Sunflower' challenge at CAS Mix Up still has a little time to run and on a grey and very wet day I made another sunshiney card.

The stamp is from Waffle Flower and called (unsurprisingly😉) Sunflower Love.

It's one of those stamps that I have used quite a bit (unlike a lot in my stash that have seen ink once or never).

Stamped it and after colouring with my Aquarelle watercolour pencils fussy cut the image.

A mooch through the cardstock stack resulted in me finding some card which went really well with the flowers so happy days!

So my elements for this challenge are the THEME (Sunflower), CHALLENGE (Watercolour) plus the required STAMPING. 

For those who think at CAS Mix Up we only accept white backgrounds, we treat coloured cardstock as the same as white card. 
As long as there's open space (one colour, no pattern)  it fulfills our CAS rules. Please visit the blog for the rules!

There's still almost two weeks left for this challenge to run so I hope you'll make something Sunflowery and pop it into our gallery - we love seeing them!

I am sharing my bright sunflowers over at
Beautiful Blossoms

Thanks for looking - and I hope the sunflowers have brought some sunshine to your day too! x

Your sunflowers are colored beautifully and look great on that colored background.

Beautiful CAS card, Viv. The spray of sunflowers is so pretty.

I’m still having the problem with Reading Lists not updating. What problems are you having Google?

Gorgeous card Viv!! I LOVE your watercoloured sunflowers ... they are beautiful. And they look amazing on the lovely coloured background. Great work, my friend!! xx

Your beautifully coloured sunflowers would certainly brightened a dull day, and isn't it great when you find just the right shade of cardstock to add. After well over a week there's at last been some movement in my blog list - fingers crossed the problems are being addressed.

So bright and beautiful Viv and love the way you have made a border with them and some great fussy cutting too, and the orange card as the background above the flower border is an inspired choice. x
