Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
A special card for a sweet friend.
I believe she likes purple and I'm loving these Alstroemeria dies.
I watercolored the flowers with Distress Markers and my waterbrush.
You can tell that I colored the flowers at different times. LOL.
Isn't it funny how that can make such a big difference?
But no two flowers are exactly alike so we'll go with these.
I hope she enjoys this card as much as I enjoyed making it for her.

Your watercoloring gives the flowers a soft variance of colors, Bonnie. They are beautiful and I love the card design with the purple borders.
ReplyDeleteYour watercolor is just like nature...no two are ever exactly the same. The design is lovely and your friend will treasure this.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and lovely watercoloring, just like in nature. I know your friend will love this card. TFS
ReplyDeleteAlastomeria are one of my favorites for cut flowers, they last quite a bit of time. Your lavender blooms are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI never even noticed the difference in the two flowers till I read your description Bonnie...all I know is that both of them are beautifully water colored! Lovely, lovely card...your friend will LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteThese alstroemeria flowers are really beautiful Bonnie, and I did see one was a bit darker than the other but when colouring even if you did them at the same time they don't always end up exactly the same as this is the nature of watercolour, and as you say no two flowers look alike, and the diamond embossing looks so pretty in the background, and love that you added the pearls to the centres of the flowers...a terrific card! x
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful as always Bonnie.

ReplyDeleteyour die cuts are so beautifully coloured and love the tiny pearls for the stamens ♥ your friend will love the card. xx
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that you have the same experience when coloring at different times. I thought it was just me. However, it's not noticeable except in that your flowers are both so so pretty! These are wonderful flower dies and I know your friend will love your card.
ReplyDeleteStunning Alstroemeria birthday card, Bonnie! Your coloring really brings life to the flowers. Love the unique diagonally symmetrical design, and the colors of the flowers! :-)
