I think I'm on time for the MFT Sketch Challenge this time. Usually when I'm
ready to post, the challenge is over. The weeks go by too fast!
This is one of my favorite stamps to color. I use Distress markers to ink
the stamp and added color from Distress ink smooshed on my palette.
To color the strips, I first wet them, and added some of the lightest pink
ink from my palette then dipped it in the other colors that were pretty wet.
I added some black dots in the center of the flowers to tie in the black sentiment.
Wish I hadn't done that. The splatters worked out okay though.
Challenges:
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Ahhh, this is a beautifully colored stamp...love the pinks. And love the 3 colored strips you added...nice unique touch.
I think this is probably my very favorite MFT stamp! So pretty in all the pink and I love the way you colored the flowers and strips to match. I like the splatters and also the black in the centers of the flowers Bonnie. BEAUTIFUL!

This is very pretty Bonnie and love the coral tones you have used and the flower topper looks great with the three strips of paper horizontally across the background and love the way they don't go right across which gives a different interesting look. The splatters and the little black dots in the yellow centres work well I think. x
What a beautiful card Bonnie, black dots and all....The flowers are so pretty and the water coloured strips are fabulous x.
Stunning...this jumped out at me over at the mft gallery.

Agree the weeks are flying by. This is so pretty and dainty. Beautifully watercoloured, splattered and dotted. Great work with the stripes, too.
Your painting is just GORGEOUS! Wow, Bonnie, how beautiful this is. The no line coloring look is so well done. Love that you maintained your white space too. I do like that thanks stamped across the image. This is fabulous!
They don't come any better than this Sugar!!

What beautiful colours! Love the way the strips on the background echo the colours of the flowers!
Beauty all around! Bonnie, the image, the colors, the black dots and the splatters, all gorgeous in my eyes
Wow !! This is one of my favorite cards from your collection, Bonnie! I love how the color worked with the water. Thanks to watercolor you have managed to capture the extraordinary delicacy of these flowers. I also love the stripes added to the base in similar colors, but with stronger intensity. This makes the flowers seem even more delicate. Yes, this card is extremely arts.

Oh my, such a stunning card Bonnie! I don't know how you do it, but you do and your cards are always something special! These flowers are so perfect, I swear I could reach out and pluck one off the stem. Gorgeous! Hugs, Brenda
Pink blooms painted so delicately. Love the smooshing and splattering too. What harmony in this beautiful piece. xx
Beautiful job watercoloring those flowers, Bonnie. Please forgive my absence in commenting. I'm in the process of moving and got way behind so I'm just popping in here and there so see what you've been creating and only commenting once in a a while.
