Susan is hosting the CAS Christmas challenge this month.
I used a Power Poppy Digital Image and watercolored it with a
combination of Zigs and Watercolor Pencils.
I ended up with some smudges on the frame. These snowflake sequins I've been
hoarding, came in handy! I added a tiny rhinestone to the center of each.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

A sweet image and your colored it beautifully. Great save and now we know why embellishments were created! Great save and lovely card, Bonnie. I thought of you after I saw the news and wonder if you felt the earthquake.
ReplyDeleteLove your card Bonnie xxx gorgeous

Your pear tree in the tea pot is SO CUTE Bonnie and the Partridge makes this card totally perfect for the challenge!! And the snowflake sequins are also perfect for hiding those little smudges that none of us would have even known were there...they fir right in with the card!! So I guess it pays to hoard after all, right??!! Thanks so much for sharing this beauty with us at CAS Christmas!! :0)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pleasing card with the coloring and the teapot, etc. Best of all is the "Bonnie magic touch" of covering up a few boo boos with the snowflakes and rhinestones...and pulling it all together by adding a snowflake to the teapot. You are so good at this, and I just love it when you confess your boo boos...makes me feel better about mine.
ReplyDeleteWow Bonnie - beautiful partridge in a pear tree pot and I love how you colored it!! Perfect within the frame, including the strategic snowflakes!!
ReplyDeleteA Beautiful image shown off beautifully Bonnie.

This is such a pretty digital stamp Bonnie and love the stitched rectangular aperture and the wonderful added snowflakes work well. I'm glad I'm not the only one who manages to get ink where I don't want it..lol. x
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty image and perfect for the challenge Bonnie. Gorgeous colouring and loving the 'extra' snowflakes x.
ReplyDeleteOh, pretty! One of my fave Christmas digis. Love how you framed it and added the smudge-covering sequins. So colorful and fun!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful water colouring and framing Bonnie. The oopsie is well hidden I would never have guessed. I love that image :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful image, it sure did make a beautiful card Bonnie! I love your watercoloring on it. Those snowflakes are so pretty and placed just right, even if they are covering a smug. We would have been none the wiser if you hadn't had said! This card is just gorgeous! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteSmudge?! what smudge... what a pretty coverup, and fabulous partridge in his pear... pot! Isn't that a wonderful digi - you've colored it so beautifully, too, my friend!

Beautiful card, Bonnie! I'm in awe of your coloring. Watercolor pencils were never something I could do but what an amazing job you did! Great framing as always! And glad to know I'm not the only one with horrid smudges when finished. Great cover for those.
ReplyDeleteSo colorful, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteWonderful watercoloring, and cute image! Your snowflakes are perfectly covering their duties :o)
ReplyDeleteI've told you - your cards leave me singing. Guess what I am singing now!!?

Beutifl card Bonnie! Your colouring is AMAZING!! LOVE those sweet snowflake sequins. xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful card. Beautifully watercolored and framed... so great save with the snowflake embellishment. I think I still have some of those snowflake sequins, too.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, love how you framed your Partridge in a Pear Tree, which is beautifully watercolored BTW. Beautiful card, my friend.
ReplyDeleteYour colouring is fabulous Bonnie as is your card!
ReplyDeleteThey must have used a lot of fertilizer on that tree Bonnie - just look at all those wonderful pears growing on it! what a great image so bright and colorful and there's a teapot too!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty digi image and a gorgeous coloring, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteLove the amazing shading of the pears and pot! I would have never guessed what's under the snowflakes! Happy to see your card in the CAS Christmas gallery! :-)

Lots of detail in the digi. Love those pears, you achieved to much dimension. The bird is a happy camper on that teapot. Beautifully framed too, great card.
ReplyDeleteGreat coloring with Bonnie watercolor crayons. I love how this image looks in the end. The reassuring part is that you even have random streaks. I thought it only happened to me.
