African Daisies

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:
Altenew July Inspiration Challenge - Soft Watercolor Layers






Card Recipe
Stamps:  African Daisy PAF (Alt), Magnolia Ballerina (Alt)
Ink:   Warm Glow Amalgam (GKD), Crumb Cake
Paper:   Watercolor (Alt), Natural (MFT)
Other:  Altenew 36 Pan Set of Watercolors (Pink Diamond, Caribbean Sky, Bamboo), Caran d'ache Supracolor Pencils, Waffled Diamonds EF (Alt)


Enjoy!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    You always do such a beautiful job watercoloring, Bonnie, and I love the way you split the card with the embossing.

    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!
