This card was inspired by a card my friend Karen did as a reminder at
Now that I've done it, I'm wondering if these are flowers or weeds?
Does God differentiate between flowers and weeds?
I'm going to hope it works for their challenge.
I started with a background piece that had been colored in the
wet on wet technique by wetting the paper a lot and
dropping re-inker drops into the water.
It had the blue and yellow.
I die cut it, stamped the flowers and cut another piece a bit larger to mat it.
A simple sentiment and another card for
Using stamping, re-inkers as my liquid colour, and die cuts
Challenge open through the 24th.
ANYTHING GOES
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Beautiful. I love the blue and yellow background. The flowers in silhouette are very striking.
love everything about your card, Bonnie - beautiful!!
Beautiful Bonnie! It reminds me of a lovely spring meadow on a sunshiny day! Have a great day! Hazel xx
Very pretty. I will have to try that technique of dropping the ink on a very wet paper. Thanks for sharing.
Stunning card...lovely colors. My understanding of a weed is that it is a flower in the 'wrong' place!
Such a gorgeous card here Bonnie! perfect watercoloured background and I love the delicate stamping too. Thank you so much for sharing with us over at 'The Flower Challenge' and we hope to see you again soon ;) Viv DT xx
Very pretty, Bonnie! Love the blue and yellow.
This is really beautiful Bonnie. Love the blue and yellow with your silhouette flowers. xx
what a perfect colour combo with the blue and yellow. Love it
Perfect backdrop for those flowers ...like laying in the grass and looking up :D
Great mix since there is only just a glimpse of green, that's hard to succeed.
Beautiful CAS card xx
I think they are flowers if you want them to be! I love the background, hints of a sunny day. I'd not heard of the Flower Challenge but it sounds lovely. (Not that I really need any more challenges in my list).
Beautiful background Bonnie. Lovely card.
So serene in the blue and yellow, Bonnie - just love your flower/weeds too!!
Very pretty Bonnie and I love the colours. Barbxx
Wonderful card Bonnie, love the simplicity of the design and the softness of the watercolouring. Beautiful. Thank you so much for doing us at The Flower Challenge Aileen DT
Your colorful background caught my eye and I love that stamp, regardless of what they are. It's so perfect against your bright, bold background!
So beautiful!
Hello Bonnie: I'm jealous of anyone who can create a gorgeous water color wash like the one on your lovely card, it's just so beautiful and a perfect background for the delicate silhouettes of the field flowers.
Thank you for sharing your card with us at THE FLOWER CHALLENGE, hope to see you back in the gallery again soon.
Hugs,

What a beautiful card - a weed is only a flower in a place that we don't want it, so yes, they do 'qualify' as flowers no matter which they are Bonnie.

Look like wild flowers to me -- card is simple yet striking...like wild flowers....and even some "weeds". Like the way you created the sky and sun feel with reinkers -- more control than other techniques -- and it sure does look realistic. Another good looking card!
Beautiful card Bonnie! I love the sunny, blue background and the silhouette of the flowers. I love the CAS design of this card! Hugs, Brenda
I would call them wildflowers (definitely not weeds!)! Love the blue and yellow background - makes it look like the loveliest summer day. I have to get busy and do this challenge as blue and yellow is one of my favourite colour combinations.
Blue and yellow have always been one of my favorite color combingations - I also love red and gold! A simple card that is so gorgeous!!

Those delicate grasses in front of your summer sky are simply wonderful!
Wonderful! This card radiates warmth and tranquility ... I love it!

Very nice! This card has such an appealing quality to it!
Love your blue and white sponged background and stamped silhouette flowers. Simply beautiful my friend. Hugs.
I read once that weeds are only flowers that are growing where you don't want them to. Those flowers belong on your card with that lovely blue and yellow sky.
How precious! Perfect for the inspiration, but in a totally not-expected way!
Be still my heart, this is so stunning!! Whenever I try to mix yellow and blue I end up with a green splatter, so you've totally blown me away. Such a wonderful CAS design too, so very glad you shared it with us at The Flower Challenge!
This is beautiful Bonnie! Pretty double framing - love the colors and wonderful silhouette stamping! Julia xx
The perfect background for your flowers--wild or not! Love the design, Bonnie & so glad to see this beautiful card in the PBSC gallery!
A very pretty card.
Thanks for joining this months Penny Black Saturday Challenge.
