Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
A couple few years ago Darnell posted this card (scroll down) that she did in
one of our Zoom sessions. I was enamored with that stamp and ordered it.
And it sat, and sat, and sat in that NBUS box.
Finally it has seen ink!
I inked the flowers with mini inkpads and markers, lightly spritzed and stamped.
By using the MISTI, I could stamp again to get more definition.
The wash was done wet on wet with Tumbled Glass re-inker.
I think I'll try it in some other colors and maybe use it on a calendar page next year.
Challengs:
NBUS #48 - Never Before Used Schtuff
Penny Black Saturday - ATG - Optional EasterTic Tac Toe #200 - See board below - I used the center vertical row (Pastel Colors, Flowers, Spring Theme)
Triple B - Birds Butterflies & Blooms

Gorgeous card. Sounds like a fun technique. She always do the different techniques so perfectly. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
WOW again! Love the definition you achieved, Bonnie and LOVE the color. The white jelly roll pen did a great job of bringing out details. I have done this stamp but had to resort to coloring the whole thing with pencil. This is GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteOh Bonnie this is just GORGEOUS! Thanks for letting us know how you created it ... I never thought about adding extra definition by using my platform ... hmmm ... learn something new every day!! LOL Purple being my favorite color, I just HAD to stop by and leave you some love! Beautiful inspiration ... thanks!

This is beautiful Bonnie, and I love the colours with the pink and violet and the strong green for the leaves, and a great technique using the colours straight to stamp and spritzed for this really pretty watercolour look, and with a pretty echo in the background and a super idea to use the white gel pen to add some highlights. We are all guilty of buying things which sit and wait for their turn and some wait a lot longer than others...lol. x
ReplyDeleteOMG!!!! This is gorgeous -- I really want to move to Cary and be able to visit your classes and groups. I do better when I can actually see something being done. I have firmly told myself I will NOT buy anything else and then I see something I love and feel like I will surely die if I can't have the product!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful Easter card and I really do love it!!

Oh my, this is absolutely BEAUTIFUL in the purple Bonnie and the background is just as lovely too with all that soft color! I'm just curious though why you didn't make 14 of them like Darnell did?!! Haha! When you get results like this though, it would be hard not to make another one! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, the wash is amazing. Love love love this.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely stunning, Bonnie!!! I can't add enough exclamation marks. lol Now that you've broken that stamp open you'd better use it again. I have someone that follows my blog and told me I hang with some great cardmakers. She especially loves your painting and she will be thrilled with this card.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card and what a great technique and awesome stamp, I can see why you wanted to order it!

Such a beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteYay for using NBUS! Very pretty in purple. Fabulous results with this technique.
ReplyDeleteI'm late to the party today, but so happy to see these lovely purples - are they Parrot tulips? or some type of Iris? Whatever they are you've captured them perfectly!
ReplyDeleteWhat would we do without our MISTIs?

You have got it going on, Bonnie! This is Gorgeous (with a capital G) in the purple with the edges all feathery on the blooms. It looks like some amazing variety of iris that I would love to have in my garden. I'm simply stunned!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't time fly? I am so glad you have finally inked that stamp, it is a beauty and ideal for that technique. Love the colours and the softness. Gorgeous xx
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! Sounds like a super fun technique too!
ReplyDeleteA perfect Easter card - I always associate purple with Easter and you used such beautiful shades! Lovely wash on the background.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is beautiful Bonnie! I can see why you wanted this stamp, I'd want it too but could never do it justice like you ladies can. I love this card so much! Perfect for Easter, love the pretty purple and your background is so nice! I am looking forward to seeing these gorgeous blooms in other colors and on a future calendar page! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteThank you for CASing me, Bon! What a compliment! (And for linking again at NBUS!) Those PB stamps lend themselves so perfectly for the direct-to-stamp technique faux watercolor look. It's my fave and I love your beautiful design with the fabulous wash background! So perfect for an Easter card. Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeleteBonnie, beautiful card. Your watercoloring, faux watercoloring is so awesome.
ReplyDeleteLove this.
