I do have a card. Only one for today, as I need to finish vacuuming up the beach that somehow managed to find its way into my whole house. (I don't mind really....) Loll and the DT over at the CAS Watercolor Challenge have a color combination that I've been in love with forever. I made my card a week or so before company came, knowing the deadline would allow me to post this after the holiday weekend.
I tried to keep this as CAS as I could.
I watercolored the Altenew peony images with my Zigs. The sentiment is from Avery Elle. The creamy panel has some grayish stylized printing on it. I used a green base. And that's all. I'm going to run. But I will leave you with one more photo. It's of the hallway by the backdoor.
There are more shoes under that little bench, and still more in the kitchen. We had a few people over that day! I'll show you a photo of those little ones next time I post (unless I get a bad case of doo-doo brains). As always,

OMGosh, what a lovely Easter you must have had Bev!!!! So happy to hear that so many where there. I love little Avie's answer about her age! Yes, that must have been quite the Easter with all the little ones there, I love it! I also love your card! I would have never thought to watercolor this flower! I love how it came out, but don't think it would look like that if I did it. lol Great job Bev! I also love all the shoes! Looks like my house used to look! lol I know you enjoy ever minute of those kiddo's and the big kiddo's! Hugs, Brenda
Oh my goodness, children say the most hilarious things! Little Avie is adorable. And *swoon* how I love your card. It is watercoloured to perfection (and now I think I *need* that floral stamp too, you enabler! lol).
Such a beautifully colored peony - you have those Zigs mastered!!
I love your shoe picture. It could be a poster for a happy family!!
