Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
The Flower Challenge is celebrating their 5th birthday!
My but that 5 years flew by! I love this challenge and I think I've played
almost every month. I have certainly found a lot of inspiration from their
Design Team and Gallery.
Congratulations and here's to many more years of this challenge!
This stamp has been sitting in my NBUS box for longer than I'm willing to admit.
It was such fun to ink up with Distress Markers and watercolor. I don't know
why it took so long to ink it up.
Since they want a shape on a card this time, I decided to make a shaped card.
The largest die of this STAX was perfect for the image and I even had
the frame stuck in the pouch with the dies.
Challenges:
The Flower Challenge - Use a Shape
NBUS - Never Before Used Schtuff
Penny Black Saturday - ATG/Optional Color Challenge Use at least 2 colors (see below)

Wow! Your watercoloring is spectacular, Bonnie! I’m in awe that you preserved the detail on the flowers as well as the fabulous painting of the glass! This is such a gorgeous stamp too. I’ll be headed there for my watercoloring lessons! Outstanding work!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Bonnie! I love the shape of your card base, and you've water colored these delicate flowers so beautifully! Thanks so much for the wishes, and for joining us for our party!

Gorgeous card Bonnie, who doesn't love a mason jar full of beautiful blooms?! You can watercolor like no other, I'm always in awe of your watercoloring. Hugs, Brenda

ReplyDeleteI'm in love with the image and your beautiful coloring of it. Love that you chose fallish colors. The shaped card makes it very special, too. We all do it, Bonnie... leave these beautiful stamps sitting for way too long. Some of mine... well, we won't go there. I'm glad you finally got some ink on this beauty!
ReplyDeleteThis is the style that got me back into card making - simple styles that are hand painted. Beautiful bouquet and don't we ll use mason jar to put our flowers in? Especially here in the South!!

Great shape and a lovely bouquet Bonnie. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely floral card. Beautiful marker inking and watercolouring to bring it to life.
ReplyDeleteThis bouquet is so delicately drawn with color that it creates a very subtle atmosphere. Using a different shape for the card is a brilliant idea for this design
