I hope you're having a wonderful weekend.
I've been seeing Alexandra Renke products on your blogs and couldn't resist
buying a few things for myself.
We are such an enabling community!
I LOVE this butterfly die and cut it three times from watercolor paper.
I watercolored one die cut using some re-inker and water.
The other two die cuts were glued together and I used the watercolor around the edges.
When the butterfly was dry, I used a black marker to color in the body and antennae.
Waiting for it to dry is the hardest but most necessary part!
One of my online friends had enabled me to find some black Lindy's Magicals
and I played with the stencil monoprint technique using some of that
magical powder. It's amazing to see all the colors in this black powder.
This piece was a second pull from the monoprint.
You can get a peek at the Alexandra Renke Washi tape I put on the inside of the card.

Wow, Bonnie! There is no way I'd have guessed you used the black magicals on that background! It's fantastic and I not only love the butterfly die but love how you watercolored it. What a beautiful card you have created! You are definitely on a creative roll there!
Gorgeous colours for your stencil monoprint Bonnie. Interesting that there really isn't any black. :) So pretty, especially with your gorgeous yellow butterfly. xx
Beautiful background, Bonnie, and I just love the bright yellow butterfly!!
I keep seeing all these Alexandra Renke dies and so want to get some. Your butterfly is gorgeous against your monoprint background. Black powdered inks are incredible, I just love it when the oranges and yellows pop out :)
Beautiful
Oh Bonnie this is stunning - love that butterfly, and the background is fascinating.
Blessings

Wow, this is a beautiful card Bonnie! I love that butterfly but it is the background that has me intrigued. I love the look you got from your monoprint technique, but am confused on your products you used. So this is black powder and it make this colored background??? Well that explains why it is call Magicals! So good looking! Yes, it is easy to be enabled in this community. lol Hugs, Brenda
I love this monoprint. The beautiful colors and that gorgeous die. Guess Lindy's Magicals are on my wish list now. I love Alexandra Renke products and would love to have them all! Her papers are wonderful and that snowdrop die - oh my gosh! You did not mention a porch so I guess I won't be coming after all. I'm off to unpack and throw some laundry in.
Gorgeous, Bonnie! Beautiful watercolouring of that AR butterfly and amazing stencil monoprint using black LM! This enabling community is awesome because I think I need that black Lindy powder and shop for some AR dies! 😂 Love your card! xx
Beautiful!! Love your background and pretty butterfly. I have got to try this monoprint technique. Thanks for the inspiration.
WOW...this is absolutely GORGEOUS Bonnie!! Love the colors of your monoprint...so pretty considering they are coming from a black starting point! And LOVE that bright and vivid butterfly...it really pops on your card!! Lovely, lovely my friend!! :0)
Bonnie, it's a real diamond among your cards. I love how colors play with each other. Yellow butterfly looks so amazing against the background of a colorful window. I love, I love, I love this card !!!

Oh My, Bonnie, I LOVE your new Alexandra die cut butterfly and your black Magicals stencil monoprint background in the window. I do see a bit of the Alexandra Washi tape inside. So pretty. I have her fern Washi tape on my SSS wishlist :-) TFS my friend. Hugs..
Bonnie, I love that butterfly - I may have to buy it!!! Just what I need, another butterfly die! Love the way you coloured it with great shading. And a beautiful background with your stencil monoprint.
So beautiful!!! Love the burst of colors on this with that background and then then gorgeous butterfly.

Of course, it's a gorgeously watercolored butterfly, and I liked the way you've done the body of the critter. The black magical looks awesome, and I didn't expect there to be so much 'color' besides black in it! It's very bright to be a 2nd pull as well. Glad you were able to play in several challenges with this pretty card. TFS & Hugs
Your bright butterfly just jumps off your wonderful stenciled background Bonnie!
Dang, Bon-Bon, this is my new favorite!! It truly took my breath away and - you rascal! - off I go to search for that butterfly! I need another one like a hole in the head!! Your stencil monoprint background is gorgeous and I can envision all the shimmer and shine! Hugs, Dolly
This mono print is truly special. It reminds me of the visual effect of the sun shining through the trees and flower garden. And not to mention the awesome butterfly, what beautiful nuances you achieved. A spectacular card ...definitely joyful xx
This is simply gorgeous, Bonnie! I love this card! The yellow AR butterfly is so beautiful and your monoprint background is amazing!! As everyone raves here, the soft colors and the dreamy effect are stunning! I must get the black Magicals! :-)
The matching butterfly washi tape inside is pretty too! Hideko xx
