African Daisies

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


I have finally been inspired to get this Paint a Flower African Daisies stamp out of NBUS.

I did a partial stamping on Altenew Watercolor paper with Warm Glow ink 
to get a no-line watercolor look.

It was disappointing that this watercolor paper wasn't like the paper in their 
Watercolor Coloring Book.  That's my favorite watercolor paper, but this comes
in a close second.

To color I used Altenew Watercolors and my waterbrush, then did a little 
touch up with my watercolor pencils. 

The actual frame is lighter brown than the photo shows.

That was fun.  I don't know what took me so long!

Challenges:
Altenew - Inspiration Challenge (see photo below)
NBUS #41 - Never Before Used Schtuff

 



Card Recipe
Stamps:  Paint a Flower African Daisy, Fragile Foliage (Alt)
Ink:   Warm Glow (GKD), Soft Suede (SU)
Paper:   Watercolor (Alt), Warm Cocoa (GKD), Neenah Solar White
Other:  Altenew Watercolor (Warm Sunshine, Autumn Blaze, Mocha), Linen Thread


Enjoy!

    You always do such a beautiful job with no-line coloring, Bonnie. I love daisies so I doubt mine would be in the NBUS pile for long if I had this stamp. I love the colors you chose and the splatters just top it off.

    Your daisies are beautiful, Bonnie! It looks like a good stamp to watercolor. Love the splatters and the twine. The soft peachy-orange suggests fall because that's where my mind is going now that it's September, sigh.
