Hello there blog friends! CAS Watercolor Challenge is celebrating their 2nd birthday, and as always, I am excited to play along! For the October challenge, they have chosen a beautiful autumn color palette for us...and here is my take ~
I wanted to watercolor a flower, so I chose this lovely Gerbera Daisy from Winnie & Walter using my brand new liquid watercolors. I also painted a strip of dark green on the left with Glimmer Metallic Ink, and added a touch of Wink of Stella to the center of the bloom...here is a close-up ~
It's a little difficult to see the sparkle on screen, but I love the effect of all the shimmer and flecks of gold in the green metallic ink on the border. I mixed it with a little water and brushed it on...yummy! I'll be adding more colors to my collection asap.

Happy 2nd Birthday to Loll, Bonnie and their amazing DT at the CAS Watercolor Challenge!

So pretty!! Love your beautiful blossom with autumn colours, Barb! Liquid colours is fun to watercolour with! Great sparkled for the green and gold strip on the side and center of your flower. Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour! xx
Such a lovely card Barb; your daisy is colored in a lovely shade. The bit of glimmer on the side really adds a nice touch.
Bold, vibrant and deliciously bright, Barb ... the sparkly edging adds such richness to this gorgeous bloom! I'm catching up and have been enjoying all your recent cards ... all as wonderful as ever ... I was especially taken by the bird! Hugs, Anita :)
Fun flower, I love the artsy stem and leaf and the sparkle on the leaves.
Love the sunny colors on the bloom!!
Barb, I'm so happy to see this sweet little daisy from W&W! I also have it in my LARGE collection of supplies that haven't had as much love as they deserve.
Such a darling card, for a very wonderful group of gals!

Definitely bright and beautiful and so far I am telling myself that I do not need any liquid inks... I am not sure that this is working though and I gotta say that you haven't helped lol.
Barb such a prettty watercolour bloom! Somcurious about liquid watercolours!
Love your beautifully colored flower.
This is a beautiful fall flower, Barb! Love the added sparkle and dimension! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at CAS Watercolour!
