Bodacious Blessings

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!


I did a little Print Making while watercoloring this die cut.  The yellow is
much softer than it shows in the photo.  Sometimes.......

I'm coming late to the CAS(e) this Sketch challenge but I love this sketch and had to
squeeze in some time to play.  Then I veered from the sketch a bit. I hope not too much.


The colors were inspired by a new challenge
Yellow and green is one of my favorite color combinations.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge  has an option of your
favorite colors.  So I'll add this there too.

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

The printmaking technique created the perfect background for those stunning yellow die cuts! I love the subtle watercolor on the sentiment banner and the narrow yellow frame, as well. A simply lovely card. Thanks for joining us for the first Color Hues Challenge. I hope we'll see you frequently!

Beautiful bright die cut flowers Bonnie and I love the print in the background made from the flower, and some pretty clear sequins which finish it perfectly. x

You do such a fabulous job with this technique resulting in the perfect background for your gorgeous flowers. This one is just beautiful. I sure don’t see where you veered from the sketch. It looks spot on to me!

Love that pastel background for those gorgeous blooms. The loose paint gives such a beautiful watercolour appeal to this card. I really like the softness to this jewel. xx

Sandy said...

So pretty -- I have tried to do the printmaking background only I used a stamp instead of a die cut. What I like about your background is the fact that it looks more shadowy and not so much the image. Love it Bonnie!

Beautiful Bonnie. I LOVE this PB poppy die. Gorgeous in yellow and great prints in the background. xx

TK said...

Beautiful! Your yellow is wonderful, we'll take it any way we can get it. And that print making -- wow! I water color on top of another sheet and let the colors flow but I REALLY like this method more
