These are the three cards that I made on Wednesday night for the CAS DT challenge. Only one will be considered for the finals and I have to decide by tomorrow which one to leave the keyword on. I didn't even put the keyword on this one because I kind of already decided to kick this one out of the running. I love it, but I'm not sure it's my favorite.
When Jen gave us the theme of water, my thoughts went like this: "yeah, right. What about those gel cards...no don't want to make one of those. What about some punny fish...or lighthouses...or umbrellas...or a vase of flowers (after all, they're in water...lol!)." Then, I thought, "well, you could do anything in watercolor, after all it is water-based!" You can see that I got a little bit wierd!
This one fit the umbrella idea and I like the way it set off this image from an old set.

I love this one - I haven't seen the others but they must be amazing if you kicked this one out (I am off to see them the second I get done here - sorry I am so late on commenting cards - busy week you know). I wish I had this old set - it is super cute. Your layout is really eye catching!

I love this one, too!! So colorful and fun. The handle formed from words is so cute!! And your paper piercing looks terrific. But I agree--the fish one is your standout of the three. Go, go, Diane!!
