I am really enjoying this Technique Tuesday stamp!
(First I used it here.)
This time I colored the flowers in red. I had just received a
Candied Apple Distress Marker and it was perfect for getting a good
rich, red color.
I placed the stamp in my MISTI and inked the flower with Distress Markers
and used a damp water brush to move the ink.
After it dried, I layered colors directly with markers and water brush.
The wash was done by pulling colors from the flowers
to the surrounding areas.
I used a sentiment from the same set.
I had some narrow glitter frames left from my last class and
used one to add a little sparkle to this card.
It celebrates a special day for a very special person.
I'll enter at The Flower Challenge #26

ANYTHING GOES
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Beautiful Bonnie, your choice of red was perfect and the addition of white gell pen for the the stamens really makes a difference :)
ReplyDeleteStunning red amaryllis, Bonnie! Your DM watercoloring is so pretty. You pulled the colors to the surrounding area so well, making the subtle beautiful wash background. I think the sentiment and the glittery frame are great additions (compared to the previous amaryllis card), especially the flower has brighter and richer colors.

Oh what an eye catching and dramatic card Bonnie - love how you have pulled the colour from the bloom for the wash, and have so delicately framed the image with the sparkly frame

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Bonnie - I have taken a break from cleaning out our home and I tried this technique yesterday using various markers and water color pencils too! Boy this is not as easy as it sounds - I need to practice and practice and practice!

Beautiful card with that beautiful flower. Love how you pulled the colors from the flower to the surrounding area. The pretty frame makes the flower stand out. TFS
ReplyDeleteYou are a master at watercolouring Bonnie. This is an amazing piece of art. A very special card for a very special person. xx
ReplyDeleteThe glitter frame sets off the amaryllis perfectly! Wonderful watercolouring too!
ReplyDeleteThis one caught my eye because of that gorgeous shade of red. Your painting is so beautifully done and maybe some day I'll the the hang of the light wash without watermarks. Fantastic card, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and beautifully watercoloured, Bonnie. I forgot where I saw that technique of pulling colours to create that soft background wash, but it’s so effective. Love the glitter frame. xx
ReplyDeleteOh yes...another lovely lily card, gorgeous rich red, just like for real

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card, and I love the flower stamp. That red marker is the perfect shade. The sparkle from the frame is such a pretty finishing touch.
ReplyDeleteThank you for playing along with the Craft Stamper challenge xx
The magic of your framing really works here. Love that you made those colours bleed giving a loose watercolour look. Beautiful xx
