Hello and a Merry Monday to you.
This week it's my turn to choose the challenge.
I've had this gorgeous Stampendous stamp for a year (or maybe 2)
and I finally put some ink to it.
And watercolor.
I was able to practice a paint lifting technique I learned in the
Online Watercolor for Cardmakers Intermediate class.
It's a CAS Mixed Media card.
What is CAS Mixed Media?
Check back tomorrow.
Meanwhile, I hope you'll think about berries and join us at
I'm so glad you stopped by.
Enjoy!

Beautiful, gorgeous card Bonnie, this little Chickadee looks like the sweet birds that come to the feeders, just so soft and so beautiful.
I love the "snow" you sprinkled on the berries, what a perfect image for your fabulous challenge.
I'm playing along!!
Thank you for sharing.
Gorgeous card, and stunning colouring, that little bird looks so soft. Xxx
Love the bird and berries look for a Christmas card. Your efforts with the Watercolor Class sure are obvious...such an artistic, soft watercolor look.
Bonnie - without question - this is one of the prettiest, if not the prettiest, cards you have made. OMG it is stunning. I waste so much time and this is what I should be practicing. Bonnie this creation is divine - love the way to did the chickadee. I just sit here and stare. Bravo Kid!!! So timely for the cold rain and ice that swirls around y'all in North Carolina.

What a beautiful painting and image, love what you have done here Bonnie, a true artist.
Such a soft and gentle look to this card! You did a fabulous job watercolouring the image! I'll have to investigate that colour lifting technique (I didn't get very far with the watercolour course!).
what a beautiful bird raised.

This is just totally stunning Bonnie!! I have this stamp too, but never has it looked as good as yours! How did you get the fine feathered look at the top of the bird? That's the part that always looks too heavy handed to me when I try to use it. But anyway, absolutely gorgeous card...love it!! :0)
This is gorgeous, Bonnie! Love the water coloring you did. Have a great weekend! xoxo
Oh wow, Bonnie, your card is just incredible! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your coloring and beautiful birdie image! Hope you're having a great weekend!
Gorgeous, gorgeous!!!
Be still my heart. That fuzzy little bird is so darling, Bonnie, I just want to pick him up and love him.
Oh my goodness that fluffy little bird is sweet. He looks like he is shivering a wee bit.
