There's just over a week left to join in at CAS Mix Up.
Using Stamping, Distress Crayons Watercolor, Splash Watercolor, Die Cuts and Inlaid Die Cuts
I've enjoyed experimenting with Gelatos and Distress Crayons this month.
I'm hosting the challenge this month at
For this card I colored the stamp with Distress Crayons, spritzed and
stamped onto the die cut then moved the color around with a water brush.
(I used the MISTI to do this. I explain how to stamp on die cuts on this post.)
I repeated the coloring and spritzing until I was happy with the colors
and removed it from the MISTI.
After it was dry, I added details with a Polychromos Pencil.
I die cut the corner of the out cut from the die and adhered it over
a piece of Splash Watercolor paper that was in my stash of backgrounds.
The flowers were inlaid back into the outcut and the whole thing was
mounted on foam then to the card base.
There are lots of techniques you can do with Gelatos or crayons.
We have links to video tutorials at the challenge site
as well as awesome inspiration pieces by our talented
Guest Designer, Jenny (My Paper Epiphany) and our
wonderful Design Team.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

So pretty, Bonnie. Love how the colours of your poppies match the more muted colours of your background panel.
Such vibrancy on those beautiful flowers and love how you added detailing to them with the pencils and then inlayed them back into the card. Gorgeous die cut corner and the soft splashed background behind looks wonderful. Happy card, which most definitely brought a huge smile to my face x
Your poppies are so bright and beautiful. Great job with the distress crayons. Looks so beautiful inlaid along with the open cut corner with your watercoloured background. I have enjoyed playing with gelatos and distress crayons this month. Thanks for this fun challenge, Bonnie! xx
WOW on your coloring, Bonnie! Love the dimension you managed to add to your beautiful blossoms! This is gorgeous and love how perfectly your background matches your artwork.
Those poppies are stunning! Love the coloring on them. I've never used the distress crayons but they're really pretty.
Love your card.

Love the die cut over that beautiful background, but Bonnie, those flowers are just beyond gorgeous. I like the inlay but the coloring is exquisite.

So much to love on this gorgeous card, Bonnie. Beautiful flowers, colors, watercoloring and design! Love it! xx
I must try that technique of colouring onto the stamp with the Distress crayons - lovely effect. Perfect pairing of the flower with the die cut / splash background in the corner.
This is beautiful Bonnie. I love the bright colors of the pretty flowers and the panel behind the die cut is so pretty. TFS
Gorgeous design, Bonnie and such a pretty colour. xx
I'll just say "awesome" and stop right there!! Hugs
Beautiful citrus colours Bonnie and a piece of scrap well worth using for this pretty card, also adore the coordinating tulips die cut and inset which works really well. x
Loving the softness of this card Bonnie, it definitely left me with a smile. The colour combo is just perfect for those beautiful poppies.
Thank you, for encouraging us to get those crayons out, funny how we simply forget all we have. I'll be taking my gelatos out more often now. Warm hugs, xx
I love the way you colored the poppies with your distress crayons, Bonnie! They're so lovely. Adding details with the color pencil definitely made a difference - great job, my friend! The pretty splash watercolor peeking thorough the partial die-cut aperture, the inlaid poppies, and the cursive sentiment die-cut make a perfect trio in terms of the composition. Hideko xx
What a beautiful card and wonderful techniques.
The details with the pencils really bring the flowers to life, Bonnie.
Really pretty card Bonnie, love your colours and the technique you've used to colour the die cut flowers, just gorgeous
WOW! It's one of your most beautiful cards, Bonnie !!! I love how you used die ... coloring flowers makes them look so amazing. But this card has moved me! Thank you for such an amazing inspiration.
