Sunflowers Framed Twice


I love this sunflower in it's own frame and think it's perfect for this time of year!

I've had fun watercoloring!


Both were done by stamping with VersaMark and heat embossing with white EP.

I put some drops of re-inker in my palette and used an Aqua Painter to pick up the color
and paint the flowers.

I messed up the border on the first one so I cut it down a bit more.

There's still some time to join us at

CAS Watercolour Card Challenge

I'm also going to enter again in
The Flower Challenge
ANYTHING GOES
of course with flowers.


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

This is an amazing image Bonnie. And your colouring is perfect. LOVE both cards. It's surprising how different they look even tough it's just the framing that's different. xx

Two different looks with the same flower and both lovely, Bonnie.

Love both versions!! Amazing the difference just the change in framing and card base colour make! You have made the most wonderful sunflower cards over the last few months.

I love both versions, Bonnie. Your watercoloring is so beautifully done! That image is fabulous and love how you embossed in white. I'd love to be able to paint like this!

Both are beautiful, Bonnie! Love that they're framed differently...

Both cards are fabulous but that top card should be framed and admired daily!

great cards Bonnie...love the way you colored the sunflowers.
THanks so much for playing along with The Flower Challenge.

This white embossed sunflower image is so pretty Bonnie and I think that bright yellow stitched rectangle with the black mat suits it really well and makes a bold look, whilst the much more neutral background to the other card makes the sunflower totally stand out. Both gorgeous! x
