I have some dancing daisies to share today.
After placing this Penny Black stamp in my MISTI, I inked it with Distress Markers
using one color at a time, stamping and moving color with a water brush.
If I lose the details, I can stamp again, usually without re-inking.
When I had all the colors like I wanted, I pulled color from the flowers
(I left everything in the MISTI in case I needed to stamp again.)
I wanted a little blue in the wash so I swiped some Faded Jeans ink
on my palette and using a wet on wet technique, added the blue.
To finish off, I splattered (quite timidly) some of the Faded Jeans over the piece.
I wanted to use the sketch from the Penny Black Saturday Challenge
so my daisies ended up like a spotlight. Again, I've interpreted the sketch pretty loosely.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Beautiful watercolouring and card, Bonnie! I get timid with splattering too but you did great. Love the fun design and how you spotlighted one of the flowers. xx

Just came over from the PBSC and saw your card. This is so precious Bonnie. Love the circle highlight of this bouquet. The watery result truly is splendid and so appealing with just the right amount of blue. You are a master at this technique, WOW! xx
This is just beautiful! great design and water coloring!
Soooo pretty, with the lovely pinks & blues. And that is a big WOW technique with this spot light. I love this layout too. The spatters look fantastic. Oh your watercoloring is just awesome, and this was a terrific PB image to showcase it too. TFS & Hugs
Brilliant take on the sketch Bonnie! I love the spotlight idea:) The colours are so delicate and your card perfectly CAS . Thanks for sharing your gorgeous card at the PBSC!
Oh I love the pretty shades of pink of the dancing daisies, Bonnie! The way you watercolored/stamped with distress markers is so delicate and beautiful that I almost start buying distress ink markers, then I realize it's not the markers but it's your skills! (I don't know how many times I felt this way after looking at your gorgeous cards this month!) The soft blue sky with spatters is so lovely. And a fantastic take on the sketch, using the circle for spot-lighting the daisy! Hideko xx
Big Sigh!!!!!!!

What a gorgeous card, Bonnie! Love the way you continued the flower onto the circle! Great take on the challenge sketch, and beautifully made card. Thanks for playing at Penny Black Saturday Challenge. Hope to see you back next month. Hugs, Lynda Joy
This is awesome, Bonnie. I love the soft water color look and how you spotlighted the flower inside the circle. Adding the blue over it made a lovely, soft backgrounding.
Simply breathtaking and beautiful Bonnie.
