    Gorgeous sky you watercolored (again!), Bonnie! I love how the colors blend. Adding the light green and grayish blue to the bottom is just fantastic! I bought these seagulls dies when I saw one of Karen's cards. I'm sure the dies will sell more after this post!! :-) Hideko xx

    The painting of that sky could not be more beautiful, Bonnie. The card may be easy but the idea is brilliant and beautifully executed! What a fabulous card and love the watercoloring on this.

    Wow Bonnie, that background is stunning! I love how the seagulls look against it. The colors you have in your sky are so pretty and the green looks like a line of trees in the distance. The darker blue looks like the ocean-yeah don't ask me how you can have tree's and an ocean in the same view, but that's what I see. lol It could be a lake maybe too close by the ocean?! We have seagulls in town and we are 4 hours away from the beach, so that's my story and I'm sticking to it! lol Love this one and it sure doesn't look QCAS! Hugs, Brenda

    WOW! I was amazed by the impression !! Such a beautiful background! I adore that you left the white areas as if the image was blurry in the fog. What an amazing experience when you look at this miracle!

    What a beautiful ocean sky, just perfect for those MB seagulls. That sentiment definitely sets the tone for this card. Stamping it in a caramel colour to match the card base gives a peaceful aura. Beautiful xx
