I hope you and yours are well.
This NBUS stamp has finally seen ink.
Do you buy stamping stuff and then take forever to use it too?
I used Distress markers to ink this stamp after securing in my MISTI.
Then I smooshed some ink on my palette and picked up color with a damp
waterbrush to fill in the flowers and leaves.
I decided to wait on the sentiment because I'm not sure what I'll use it for.

This is GORGEOUS! I really love the dark background...it makes that floral image really stand out. And why no, I use ALL my stamps as soon as I get them....HAHA! I do try, though! :D Enjoy your weekend!
I love the blue flowers... As you have probably noticed I often pick the same colour when painting mine... Beautiful card my friend... thinking of you
Beautiful bliss flower in navy, Bonnie - just love the softened look from the water! Looks very elegant and the rich navy card!!
So elegant and beautiful! Love the design and that pretty image.

So elegant and classy. A very pretty watercoloured flower image and a fabulous design Bonnie x.
Yes I always take ages to use 'new' stamping stuff! x.....
Absolutely GORGEOUS Bonnie! Your water coloring is so pretty and the whole card has such a stately and elegant look. LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
This is very pretty Bonnie and good to finally ink it up. I love the shaped mat too which shows it off beautifully and then the dark blue background makes it pop even more. A brilliant card! x
GORGEOUS card, love the flower and the beautiful design. Funny thing is I nearly bought these flowers today (Agapanthus).
Take care

SO beautifully watercolored, Bonnie! I love the label die you used and in navy it is so elegant!
So pretty. Love the way you framed the lovely image. Glad it has seen ink.
A total stunner Bonnie! I love everything about it!
AMAZING card Bonnie! I LOVE Bliss done in navy blue. Looks gorgeous with your pretty shaped frame in white that pops off the dark navy background. Fantastic work, my friend! xx
Loving this wonderful card Bonnie - it would make a wonderful thanks or sympathy card in it's quiet elegance.
Stay safe
Blessings

I love everything about this card, Bonnie! The simplicity against that gorgeous textured background, against the dark blue card makes for a lovely design. Thanks for sharing on Penny Black Saturday Challenge. Hope to see you back soon! Hugs, Lynda Joy
I'm loving the navy, and this beautiful, blissful bloom, Bonnie... and to answer your question... um, no? [fingers crossed]

I do love the flower image Bonnie and it looks so pretty framed in this way with a dark panel. I TRY to use my new stamps as soon as I get them but have come to the conclusion that there just aren't enough hours in the day! Vicky x
It comes as now surprise to all of your fans, this is another beautiful example of your wonderful art work!

This is a beautiful card. The colours are lovely and restful and the texture on the panel is such a pretty touch.
Love navy and white together - such a classic and elegant look. Beautiful flowers and great framing.
What a beautiful stamp, exquisite colors! Love the way you framed your artwork, Bonnie. This is just gorgeous!
Oh I love this card, Bonnie! Navy blue and white is one of my favorite color combos, but it sometimes looks too sharp. You did an amazing job of making it soft and elegant by using the beautiful frame and watercoloring the curvy flowers. I'd love to case this!

Love the coloring and the texture of this work of art, Bon! I'm seeing more of these wonderful frames and I'm pretty sure I have some of my own on NBUS Mt. I never knew what to do with them, because I always thought they were just for sediments. You've opened up a whole new world for me by framing your brilliantly painted flower this way! Thank you and thank you so much for sharing at NBUS! Keep well! Hugs, Dolly
Yay to using NBUS... and I’m definitely guilty of letting supplies collect dust. Another beautiful card, Bonnie. The navy suits this image perfectly. Always impressed with your inking/stamping/watercoloring. Love it framed with the elegant rectangle.
Beautiful, Bonnie! While the stamp is gorgeous, your coloring of it shines!!
I think I've just fallen in love with navy like never before! Between the stamp, the frame, and the navy background this card speaks dignity and elegance. I go on spells where I buy too many stamps in a short period of time and then I can't possibly use them all before they get old.
perfect colour combo Bonnie, I love those tiny blue flowers. your colouring and framing are perfect :)
Just lovely and beautifully framed xx
Great design, I love how you combined flowers with a panel. This card is beautiful and can be used for almost any occasion, also for a man, which is usually difficult for me.

This is stunning Bonnie!! Intrigued by the paper you used, has the most amazing texture to it and amazed you were able to paint and stamp on it so beautifully. And that die frame fits the floral image perfectly. Gorgeous card and always so happy to see you at The Flower Challenge!!
Don't stamp anything, this is one to frame. I love this dard navy matting for this blue blissful bloom. The texture on this panel is terrific. Framing awesome as usually :D
I love how you framed out that lovely blue flower, Bonnie.
