CC926 = Gorgeous Grape, Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party
The chosen colors just said "spring" to me. Die cut watercolor paper and watercolored the elements. On another pieces of watercolor paper, added the turquoise snow shadowing, mounted the die cut pieces and the die cut sentiment. Framed in turquoise on card base.

Beautiful. Love the crocuses and how it looks like they are popping up to say spring will come again! Nice to see this delightful card this morning. Wonderful use of the challenge colors.

Beautifully done! The crocus flower/leaves are watercolored/shaded perfectly. The purple tones are vibrant like spring. Shading with the blue tones with the matching framing and the die-cut headline is fabulous.

Stunning. Your watercoloring skills are superb and the iris you created is gorgeous. I love the simple wash of blue to ground this. And, the iris and spring sentiment look like they were made to go together. Fabulous CAS design. Fabulous watercoloring. Fabulous card.
