Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I have struggled to find time to color and was finally able to
get some markers and water going.
This stamp set has been in my NBUS box way too long. I hope to get around to
doing the other berries in the set soon.
I used Distress markers and my waterbrush for the main image
and re-inker for the wash background.
And squeaking in just under the wire, I used another NBUS.
This time it's a die. I'm loving the new textured dies!
I used an alcohol inked piece where I dropped alcohol ink on Yupo, added
some alcohol and used the blower to move the ink around. I rubbed
some Deco foil over the sticky areas.

Two beautiful cards. Of course, loving blue as I do, my favourite is the second one - such gorgeous shades of blue and a great bit of sparkle from the deco foil. The white looks so fresh and crisp against it.

WOW, Bonnie! Your painting is exquisite! Love the highlights and shadows in your first card. I could only hope someday to do that! Can’t get over that you can color with distress markers! Your blue card is gorgeous too- and love the added foil to the alcohol ink. I need to pull mine out again. Two absolutely beautiful cards.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards, Bonnie. The contrasting backgrounds show how important it is to get the background right with the image, and you sure know how to do it.

Two pretty cards, Bonnie! Your backgrounds on both are marvelous!
ReplyDeleteThose two vases of flowers/berries are so sweet and beautifully colored, Bonnie. I love the way you did the background. It adds so much warmth to the card. Gold on blue alchohol ink - what a stunner with all that white.
ReplyDeleteYour first card is so pretty with the awesome stamp beautifully colored. I love it so much I had to look up the stamp set. The sentiment set, too. Just window shopping. What a dramatic impact your AI background gives your second card! Brilliant color and contrast. Pretty die and the touch of gold from the deco foil is really nice.
ReplyDeleteAmazing watercolouring of your vases of flowers Bonnie! Gorgeous colours, shading and love that fabulous background. LOVE the gorgeous and vibrant blue of your AI background with the textured white die-cut flower. It's so beautiful! xx
ReplyDeleteYour flower vase scene is a work of art, Bonnie!! Just love it and your AI background with the white freesia too!!
