I always loved the Black Eyed Susans
that grew in the meadow behind our house
when I was growing up.
This is a shameless CASE of this card by Sanketi
I used a different butterfly and sentiment but that's about it.
I used the Large Daisy Embossing folder by Darice, a NBUS,
to emboss on watercolor paper.
Then I colored with watercolor paints and my Aqua Painter.
It was really easy to follow the embossing.

and she has been under the weather.
We all know how discouraging that can be.
I'm going to toot my horn again as they chose my
Butterfly Card
as an honorable mention for last week's challenge.
Thanks again ladies.

Wow, Darnell, way to go!
The snippet that became a butterfly will open up the Playground gates
at Pixies Snippet Playground.

It's beautiful, Bonnie. I love that you did the colored dry embossing. It really is easier that I would have thought before trying it.
Oh, and congrats on the honorable mention for that gorgeous butterfly card. It is a beauty!
Such a pretty and colourful card - makes me feel sunny! Thanks for your kind comments, much appreciated and I'm also a fan of SU
Beautiful! I love all the water coloring you're doing on cards. This is so pretty with the way you colored the embossed area.

Congratulations on another recognition, Bonnie! So well-deserved! This card is another winner in my book. I think I say that every time, but it's how I feel! You say it's really easy to follow the embossing, but yeah, no, not for everyone! You rock the watercoloring! Thank you so much for playing in my second NBUS Challenge!! Hugs, Darnell
Congrats on your well deserved HM last week, Bonnie! It's always wonderful to see your beautiful creations in the gallery!
This card is absolutely gorgeous! I love how you water colored the flowers and your butterfly is so pretty...beautiful color combo, too!
Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at ATSM! I hope you'll be back again soon!
Your water coloring is, once again, so spot on gorgeous!
I love black-eyed Susans too, Bonnie and these are lovely. I just did a card with watercolored embossing and found it easy to follow the design.
I've never watercolored an embossing folder--love this! You've inspired me, Bonnie!
I've not tried this technique before, it looks a good one to try. You did a great job of the watercolouring and I love the little butterfly.
So pleased you joined us at ATSM this week. :)
Wonderful that you have another HM, so well deserved Bonnie.
This card is beautiful love what you have done and the sentiment too.
Well done.
This card is lovely. Very pretty.
It will also get you into the Butterfly Challenge with Mrs A, I believe!
I know you are still reeling at my above comment and I bet you have checked...15!

Wow Bonnie - what a lovely card! Beautiful watercolouring and a real final splash of Summer. The nights are drawing in here and my guess is that the leaves will soon turn to Fall colours - however we do have sunshine today and also pretty high temperatures just to tease us a bit!
Hugs, Di xx
There is a lovely peaceful feel to this card, Bonnie. It's beautiful, and I've never thought of watercolouring on top of embossing, great effect! Thanks for joining in at ATSM again this week, Anita x
Love the card you cased Bonnie but also love your card! I so love black eyed susan's. Hugs, Brenda
I'm in love with your card! Your watercoloring is beautiful. I love the way it is done imperfectly. It makes it look so much better! Thanks for playing along at ATSM. :)
Beautiful card Bonnie!
Very pretty black eyed susans, Bonnie! You chose the perfect sentiment to go with them.
Lovely card! So serene!
This is such a beautiful sunny card, with a lovely sentiment.
