This amaryllis is one of my favorites from Technique Tuesday.
I put the stamp in MISTI and inked it up with
Archival Shadow Gray.
My Arteza Twimarkers worked beautifully to add color
and my trusty waterbrush helped to move the color around.
I find that this image colors beautifully with
very little effort!
But, in trying to save paper, I stamped it too close to the edge.
I found that if I cut a smaller circle as a little frame, it fit perfectly.
Whew!

Beautiful card and great way to save the gorgeous flower. TFS
This is so beautifully painted Bonnie, I love it, and the double circle with the stitched and plain inner circle and the texture on the upper layer is so pretty, and also love the way you have added the strip across the card with the black sentiment, so bold and pretty. x
Bonnie this is amazing - love your colouring, and a great 'save' too - I thought I was the only one who is a 'paper miser'!
Blessings

OMword, this is just stunning Bonnie! I so love Technique Tuesday stamps, this one especially! You have colored/stamped this one beautifully, it looks so real! I'm so glad you were able to save it with your circle dies. Again, STUNNING! Hugs, Brenda
WOW! This is stunning, Bonnie! You have really mastered watercolouring. Love the beautiful bright red with your wonderful highlights. Great save with framing it in the circle. xx
Love the double framing you did to save your image - it looks really sharp, especially with the inner frame being plain cs and the outer layer being dry embossed. Fabulous watercolouring on the amaryllis!
Love the cheerful red coloring of the amaryllis and the overall layout. And always like the texture and interest that subtle EF adds.
Fabulous coloring, Bonnie, and I love the double frame.
Great save! Would have never known. Beautiful watercolouring (as always)... and beautiu design.

Wow! Outstanding coloring on this, Bonnie! Love the bold red, not easy with a water color technique. This is GORGEOUS! It literally popped off the page. Fabulous card!
oh my gosh, such a pretty card! so pleased you were "better off red" with us at JINGLE BELLES! ♥
Wow, your amaryllis looks amazing, Bonnie! You are so good at watercoloring. Love all the shades, the details, and the background. The double circle frame is such a clever idea to save the stamped image. The subtle dry embossed pattern adds a really nice organic feeling to the card too.

Beautiful flower and coloring, so glad you were able to save it!
Wonderful depth in your beautiful amayllis! Gorgeous card:)
Simply lovely, the highlights in the blooms are perfect. No to say your framing style is amazing.
Beautiful! xx
You have created lovely depth on those flowers with your colouring and a brilliant idea to use the double circle frame, you would never know that it is covering something and it actually enhances the design xx
Beautiful watercolouring, Bonnie ... the sense of depth and dimension is fabulous! Love the background texture ... and what a great save ... the doubled up frame looks as though it was meant to be! Hugs, Anita :)
WOW! This watercolor card is amazing !! I love the delicate bleeding flowers, gently tinting the background. Sentiment is perfect.

The coloring is gorgeous on this Bonnie!
