Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I'm sliding in at the Altnew challenge at the last minute.
I did a card for this challenge a couple weeks ago and tried some creative die cutting
that totally ruined the piece. It's taken a while to find time to try again.
The leaves are really green IRL. I don't know why they show yellow here.
It will have to do.
I've stamped with amalgam ink for a no-line look and watercolored with my
Altenew 36 pan set. After coloring I trimmed down the piece a bit and used the
trimmed piece as a divider between the embossed edge and flowers.
Challenges:

Really so very lovely, Bonnie! I love it when not one little sliver of pretty is wasted!

I love the embossing at the top of the card and of course the beautiful flowers too. Very pretty with the no line look for the stamping and then coloring.

wonderful save, Bonnie.
Glad you tried again, Bon. I think it's a wonderful take on the challenge brief and on my monitor, the green of your leaves matches the green of the color row perfectly! Hugs, Dolly
TFS your pretty African Daisy Hugs card, Bonnie. Have a wonderful day, my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
Pretty African Daisies with the embossed panel and the string! I like the idea of using the trim for an edge.
I think these daises are really pretty Bonnie, and the diamond texture at the top and the added twine and lovely sentiment are great finishing touches. x
Gorgeous card and lovely watercoloring. The spray of flowers in the corners looks great and I like how you added the trimmed piece as a separation from the embossing. TFS
Beautiful soft flowers, lovely use of the colours. Great idea to use a little strip to divide the stamped and the embossed sections.
This is pretty from top to bottom, Bonnie! So soft and dreamy!
Good things happen when you persevere, and this card is definitely proff of that Bonnie!! This card is so pretty and I just love that no line coloring look! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Beautiful flowers ♥
So pretty, and I love that you used that snipped piece from the bottom as a divider!
Beautiful work Bonnie - Love your 'divider', and the texture is subtle, but adds so much to this card
Blessings

Beautiful painting of those lovely daisies Bonnie...so glad you salvaged and made a lovely card. x
Pretty design with the embossing at the top and that is a great embossing folder. Lovely water coloring and a fun use of the strip you trimmed off.
lovely colouring. It is funny how the colours can change in photos. love the embossed background too xx
You always do such a beautiful job watercoloring, Bonnie, and I love the way you split the card with the embossing.
What a gorgeous card Bonnie, love the flowers and love your watercoloring. So sorry that the first one was ruined, but you sure outdid yourself with this one! Love the embossing folder you used. Hugs, Brenda
Those flowers are a wow Bonnie! Love the soft watercolouring against the neutrals. Vicky x
Pretty African daisies with your soft watercoloring, Bonnie! Love the contrast between the organic natural feel (main panel) and the modern-look embossed panel. Using the trim as a divider is a great idea!
