Amaryllis for CAS Watercolour

Hello friends.  Today I have another card for
CAS Watercolour


Susan is hosting this month's challenge


I had such fun coloring this beautiful flower!

I inked this NBUS Technique Tuesday Amaryllis stamp with markers and
pulled the color into the petals and leaves with a damp water brush.

By using my MISTI, I could stamp again if I needed to to get
lines back.

I did remember to color alternating petals so the color wouldn't
just run together.

After it was all colored, I pulled some color from the image to
make a soft wash around the flower.

I want to do this flower again.

The Design Team along with our Guest Designer, Maura
have some beautiful Christmas Florals and/or Greenery to share with you.
Hope you check them out.

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

    I don't think anyone does this style as well as you do Bonnie. This card is really gorgeous.
    What do you mean by "NBUS Technique Tuesday"?

    Great water colouring on that beautiful amaryllis flower stamp. Such a stunning artsy card and so very pretty. I can see why you would want to colour this stamp up again.....beautiful X

    This is gorgeous, Bonnie. I tried so hard to get these to bloom but had such bad luck. I loved the way they looked. This technique can be difficult but you mastered it. Love your soft wash too.

    I used to grow an amaryllis every Christmas but have switched now to paper whites as it's easier to get them to bloom in time for the holidays.

    I love the traditional Christmas red for the flower - and your watercolouring and the background wash are fabulous!

    Another beauty, Bonnie! Amazing job pulling the colours to create a soft watercolour wash background. The simple framing with no sentiment is CAStastic! xx

    Your Amaryllis is so delicate and pretty, Bonnie! I love how you watercolored the stem and leaves as much as the flowers. Looking at your card closely, I wondered if you used yellow and I checked the Card Recipe. And saw "Peeled Paint" listed. My color swatch chart doesn't show the yellow tint. I'm always learning from you, my friend! Thank you for listing the colors you used!

    Bonnie this is just stunning! Saved it to my CASE list! Thanks for your instructions too! Esp. the note about coloring every other petal. I'd never have thought of that.
