I love these poppies and inked them with Distress Stain and Markers.
Then I used a damp Aqua Painter to move the color around.
I finished off by dotting the centers with a black marker.
The aperture was cut with my Circle Collection Framelits
and embossed with my favorite embossing folder.
Heather Telford has a fantastic tutorial on this technique.
Thanks, Heather, for sharing your technique.
This month's Penny Black Saturday Challenge is
DIES AND/OR PUNCHES
Cuttlebug Mania is looking for
EMBOSSING
(I used my Big Shot to do the embossing)
because I used a snippet of black for that sentiment.
Thanks for the visit.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card Bonnie! Those gorgeous Poppies look so life like and are colored just beautifully! I love your embossed card base too...I'd forgotten I have that ef too, and should probably did it out so I remember to use it! :0)
ReplyDeleteThose poppies are gorgeous :) love their bold and bright colors !
ReplyDeletePretty, pretty. I think I colored this same image with Zigs, while we were in Fla (in October). Your w/c is - as always - gorgeous, and this looks lovely, framed in the black circle, with that wonderful SU Emboss look. Very classy & welcome colors on a gray afternoon. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous water colour image Bonnie! I love distress markers softened like this - and the crisp die cut backing is a perfect foil.

Love this stamp and how you colored it -- such a vibrant yet soft look -- and a nice change from looking at Christmas cards (!). Your water coloring techniques are amazing.
ReplyDeleteSensational card Bonnie. So vivid.

Those poppies are gorgeous framed in black with your signature embossing, Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteI thought that was an aperture instead of being layered onto the embossing. Gorgeous! That red POPS!
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this way back a month ago? Love, love love! One of my faves of yours!
