CAS(E) This Sketch 120

Hello!

Unusually for me, I planned this card ahead of time. I knew I wanted the watercolour background, and I knew I wanted to put something over the top of it, so I splotched out my background splodge a week before I actually made the card... and then I did a bit more stamping and watercolouring on top! :-) This is my card for this week's CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge.
The stamp set I used is a very old Stampin' Up! set called Botanical Blooms (retired). I still like it.
I was tempted to draw a bird for this card, but I was scared to mess up the background. Maybe next time!

The weather here in Brisbane has turned to Autumn, finally. That means that the overnight temps fall to about 11 degrees (celcius, around 50F) and daytime temps are up around 28 degrees (82.5F - positively, blissfully, cool after the heat of Summer, lol!). The mornings feel chilly, but to dress in anything warm means I'll overheat by lunch time... so I wear my Summer clothes and take a wrap with me. ;-) I'm so glad that most days are cooler. I really don't cope with the humid heat. Don't ask why I live in Brisbane... I'd be very happy in the snow, although our Brisbane Winters are AMAZING (not too cold, fine blue skies, and dry!).

Thank-you for visiting!
