Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
It's been a super busy month and I'm afraid I haven't done much coloring.
I have finished something though. Finally!
Several of you have commented that you like to see the process.
So here are a couple pictures as I went along.
Used Distress Markers and my waterbrush to color the no-line
version of this flower from the Altenew Coloring Book.
Added shading with Watercolor Pencils.
When it was all finished, I had trouble deciding what to do with it.
I added a thin frame and some splatters.
I wish I hadn't done the splatters.
I think there's still time to join in at
with my die cut frame.

Love the mix of watercolouring and colouring with pencils - beautiful shading! It's a gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteI love those coloring pages, Bonnie - you've really done a beautiful job of water coloring yours, and the pencils do a wonderful job of adding dimension. You've learned much from Kathy, my friend!

Just love your finished product, Bonnie - splatters & all (don't know why you don't like them - they look great!). Gorgeous watercoloring and shading!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning Bonnie! Love it...you are so clever! xx
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous flower and some wonderful colouring with lots of shadows and highlights Bonnie, and finished so prettily with the thin rectangular frame and the black and white splatters. x
ReplyDeleteWell this is just gorgeous! If I were in your neck of the wood, I would definitely stop by for a lesson in no line water coloring!
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful! ...simply said...
ReplyDeleteOh this is just gorgeous! I love your card and I think the splatters are perfect to tie in with the frame. Your coloring is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteHugs Monica
Wow Bonnie your colouring is amazing, the mix of watercolour and pencil is stunning. I wish I could colour as well as you ♥
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card Bonnie - your colouring is simply wonderful, hugs Robyn
ReplyDeleteA beautiful flower and you have coloured it to perfection Bonnie, and the simple mounting is all that is needed to make a stunning card
ReplyDeleteStay safe

What a beautiful card, Bonnie. The coloring is a big WOW...I feel like I could reach in and pick a live version of that flower. Using pencils for some shading and touches is such a good (and safe!) idea.
ReplyDeleteYour coloring is just gorgeous Bonnie as is this card! I swear it looks like I could reach out and touch one of those petals. Just gorgeous! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteWOW WOW WOW! I know too well how long it takes to color and shade and wonder how long this took you. What a professional job you did on this. It’s worthy of framing! Your highlights are just beautiful! This is incredible, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteThe coloring is gorgeous and the shading really adds the depth and dimension. Just beautiful, Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely BEAUTIFUL Bonnie! I love how you mix the water coloring and the colored pencils...a perfect mix! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteI'm always fascinated by the transformation, and you really turned this into a gorgeous piece! Beautiful coloring and framing, and a large and lovely sentiment to go with it!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. I think it looks good with or without the splatters. Your coloring is perfect, love it.
ReplyDeleteYour no-line is absolutely beautiful, Bonnie. I like the splatters and how they tie in with the sentiment and frame color.
ReplyDeleteThis beautiful flower in your interpretation is so beautiful, Bonnie !! I love all the shadows, it gives the flower an extra dimension. It is like a 3D image
ReplyDeletehugs,

Oh how very pretty Bonnie! I should be coloring again - what? I should be practicing coloring and practicing and practicing some more! Your flower is so beautiful and colored to perfection!
ReplyDeleteI have always been afraid to splatter for fear I will end up with a big blob some where and goof up a perfectly good coloring job.

This is a lovely card. Beautiful coloring. Thanks for showing the process. I am in agreement with you on the splatters. It's funny what a few splatters do. Most of the time it enhances. Either way, it is lovely. [Bunny]

Beautiful colouring, it is such a skill, but you are definitely mastering it. the splatters are great, but you are like me, never happy with how they turn out xx
ReplyDeleteWOW! Amazing watercolouring of your gorgeous bloom, Bonnie. I wish I had time to participate in the 30 day Colouring Challenge. Looks like you are enjoying it so much! xx
ReplyDeleteThis is simply gorgeous and elegant, Bonnie! I can feel your love of coloring from this card. The pencil shading is so effective.
ReplyDeleteI would not have enough courage to spatter over such a beautiful flower. ;-)
Thank you for sharing the pictures showing the process!
