My dear friend Nance is hosting this challenge and she picked these
gorgeous colors.
I love this stamp from Penny Black and I haven't used it nearly enough.
I placed the stamp in my MISTI and inked it up with Zigs one section
at a time. After stamping, I moved the ink with a damp waterbrush and
continued stamping until I was happy with the results.
I had trouble getting the leaves just the right color and had to keep trying
until I found an old inkpad that seemed to be the right shade of green.
It's been fun joining in with the gals at Krafty Chicks.
Thanks for the opportunity.
I hope to see you in their gallery.

Beautiful card, my friend. Your flower is so pretty with the gorgeous layers of colour to create shading. Love the soft wash in the background and the softness of the vellum sentiment banner. Great design! xx
I've never been able to get Zigs to work that way, Bonnie, but this is gorgeous. I love the frilliness of those flowers.
Stunning Bonnie, your shading and watercolour wash are perfect :)
Great take on the inspiration photo and challenge colours! Such a beautiful delicate and feminine card for a girlfriend.
This card is stunning Bonnie! I love those gorgeous colors from the inspiration photo and you have done a great job at getting them on to your card. I don't know how you and Loll do it with those Zigs, but you use them and they come out perfection! I love this, it is down right stunning in all aspects! Hugs, Brenda

Wow Bonnie! This is so beautiful! I love the watercolor effect - so pretty! Thank you very much for being with us in the hen house this past month as our Guest CHICK...we've loved having you xoxoxoxo
This is so stunning...what a fabulous colour palette and clever stamping and inking.
Wow, this is fabulous, Bonnie! I love your watercolroing. The brownish green of the background is just perfect for the tone of the pink flowers. And the way you used the vellum strip is wonderful! It looks like a frosted glass vase.

I adore this colour palette and you definitely graciously honoured the tones on this beautifully coloured flower. I love all the nuances and the balance. Great job! The vellum piece just adds to this beauty!

This card reminds me of the paintings of Dutch painters from centuries ago. It has such an amazing atmosphere ... I love beautifully painted flowers with all shades of light and a dark, slightly cloudy background. This card is great!
Hugs,
