Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I'm trying to work through my stash of Never Before Used Schtuff (NBUS).
A sweet little girl recently pointed out that I "sure have a lot of stuff"!
She didn't even see my NBUS stash!
This is a stamp that I bought at least a year ago. I had stamped it a couple of times on
watercolor paper and took it to the beach to color.
I ended up using my watercolor coloring book instead and these stamped pieces had
been sitting on my table since.
The Flower Challenge is blue and yellow so I pulled out some watercolor pans
that I though would work and got busy. (I mixed some of the blue and the yellow
on my palette to get the green for leaves and stems.)
It's a large stamp and I ended up with an A7 size card. The base is two pieces
of cardstock with a 1/2" hinge on the left size.
I wonder how long it will take to get the other stamped piece colored?

We're all birds of a feather, Bonnie! Seeing this beautiful piece makes me want to shop, but instead I'll just go have another look in my NBUS baskets. You know I'm on a mission... Exquisite no-line water coloring. A gorgeous and inspiring work of art!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite colour combinations - love the way you used the blue and yellow! Great layering and use of the twine. I like the way you balanced everything with the little strip of coloured cs on the left.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Bonnie! x
ReplyDeleteHaha, out of the mouth of babes Bonnie...! What a stunner this is - your watercolouring always impresses me and I love this beautiful image. The twine is the perfect touch! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteLove that stamp and you did an outstanding job of painting it! I'm sure that took you quite a while but it was worth it. Love the soft background which is something I never could do. Beautiful card and I did look up the stamp. It's now on my wish list!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful watercoloured flowers Bonnie and I love the blue and yellow, and you have kept the green perfectly in tune by mixing it from them. I love the added blue twine and the sweet narrow piece of yellow ribbon along the edge, and also that cute little bee. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful panel Bonnie - love your water colouring of that image! The simple mounting of it makes for a stunning card
ReplyDeleteBlessings

Wow Bonnie, such beautiful watercolouring and your watercolour wash background is amazing ♥
ReplyDeleteThis card was well worth waiting for, it is beautiful. Blue and yellow is such a great color combo and it looks so fresh on these flowers. The little girl's comment reminds me of a quote I heard. "I knew when she said I have too much craft stuff we could never be friends"!
ReplyDeleteI have already left a comment about your beautifully watercoloured floral, but I completely forgot to put my GD hat on and say thank you for joining us over at the NBUS Challenge again this month. x
ReplyDeleteWhile it may have taken too long to get to, this is gorgeous, Bonnie! Beautiful coloring and the colors are heartwarming
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous Bonnie! I love the color combo and I love that stamp. It might have taken you a while to stamp and then color it, but it was well worth the wait. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful garden, Bonnie - just love your watercoloring!!
ReplyDeleteso happy, looks like a beautiful garden scene.
