There's still time to join in at CAS Mix Up.
Nancy is hosting the challenge this month.
This was such a quick and easy card!
I sponged ink through a stencil onto mixed media paper and
using a damp waterbrush, I moved the color around.
When it was dry, I outlined the design with a Copic Multiliner.
For the background I did some partial dry embossing.
Stamped a sentiment and it was done.
Our Guest Designer, Greta, and our fabulous Design Team
have wonderful inspiration for you. Check it out.
Then I hope you'll pull out a stencil and join us at
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

This is a great card, I love how you have let the red bleed a bit and then highlighted the red with the outlining and that little bit of dry embossing on the background is just genius xx
ReplyDeleteLove the bleeding of the colours. The black matting pairs beautifully with the outlining too. And then there's that special touch of dry embossing behind, Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bloom in its square, Bonnie - love your coloring and black tracing!!
ReplyDeleteThis is very bright and pretty Bonnie and love that strip of dry embossing across the centre of the matted layer, a really elegant look. x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Bonnie! Love the bleed of colour and then the outlining to redefinte the design. Looks amazing! xx
ReplyDeleteThe outlining really brought the image to life Bonnie - a stunning card. Love your subtle texture in the base panel
ReplyDeleteStay safe
Blessings

Simply gorgeous Bonnie, love your watercolour treatment of the flower and definition with the outlining... that partial embossing in the background is just lovely and finishes the card beautifully, hugs Robyn
ReplyDeleteThe outlining certainly adds that little something, this is lovely.
ReplyDeleteTake care

This is a lovely card Bonnie! I love the embossing going through the card base. Your flower is so pretty and I love the faded green color at the bottom with the leaves and the pink in the flower. I love fun and easy cards! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteCAS and oh so pretty Bonnie! This is such a fun technique (showing mine tomorrow) and just really makes the stenciled image pop! Love your dry embossing behind your beautiful flower image too! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! :0)
ReplyDeleteThe outlining is pretty self-explanatory, Bonnie - and beautiful btw! But! about that 'partial dry embossing'? How'd you do that?? Come over and show me, will you please?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card!

The partial embossing panel really makes your lovely traced stencil stand out Bonnie - gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, and quite unique to have that partial embossing!
ReplyDeleteThat worked out so well - love the way you moved the ink around with the water brush. The outlining is just right, not too heavy. And the bit of dry embossing adds so much interest to the card.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty and the black outline really makes the bloom pop. The embossed background gives texture to the card.
ReplyDeleteLove that pretty rose and the partial embossing looks terrific!
ReplyDeleteGotta love quick cards. This is so pretty. The outlining looks great and makes it stand even more.
ReplyDeleteLove how you partially stenciled your watercolored rose images and then traced around your rose and leaves. Adding the dry embossed bit of background gave added texture for more interest to your CAS Mixed Media design. TFS Bonnie. Stay safe and Creative. Love and Hugs..Nancy
ReplyDeleteLovely rose, Bonnie! Your partial dry embossing is so cool. Thank you for your inspiration (again)! :-)

How fun we used the same stencil for 2 very different cards! Love that you singled out one bloom--need to try that! The strip of dry embossing is a great element for this wonderful card, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteThe image sure does lend itself to this technique Bonnie. Gorgeous and eye catching card x.
ReplyDeleteGosh, it is pretty! Love that embossed border behind the image panel. The watercolor looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThis looks fab! Love the colours, love the stencil and the outlining really finishes it off nicely ..... great job! xx
ReplyDeleteThis is so very pretty and perfectly CAS! I love the embossed detail in the background too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Bonnie, loving that you blended outside the stencil design making it so soft and pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love the partial embossing in the background of the card, it beautifully highlights the flower window. Thanks for the inspiration for the quick card.
