Hello friends. I hope the weekend has started off well for you.
I've been busy in the studio this week.
Frost White Paint that my dear friend Loll sent me.
I went over the leaves with some watercolor paint.
The background was watercolored with some Vintage Photo Distress ink
smooshed on my palette and picked up with a waterbrush.
I used the wet on wet technique on Mixed Media Paper.
When dry, I randomly stamped the script and postmark with some
Vintage Photo ink that had been stamped off. (2nd generation stamping.)
I painted some more Vintage photo on a scrap of mixed media paper and
die cut with the love die.
The piece is mounted on foam and the card base is Acrylic Paper.
I love the texture and color of acrylic paper.
The Flower Challenge#5 is to CASE (Copy and Share Everything)
a card by the Guest Designer Therese. Here is her card...
I used the same die and watercolor as my CASE elements.
A big thank you to The Flower Challenge for choosing this card

Oh Bonnie, what a gorgeous CASE of Therese's card, I'm so glad you used the same die she did for this challenge.
The detail of the fabulous background color was with the subtle script is amazing, I'm always jealous of people who can achieve gorgeous water color washes for their cards, yours is stunning.
