Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
A few days ago I posted this cards using ink blending and waterlifting.
I didn't use the whole piece then. Here's the rest of the piece.
A subtly embossed background and pretty die cut leaf were all this piece needed.
Two more that were made from some pieces that I used to check the colors for
ink blending. They were too pretty to throw away.
This one ended up being my favorite. I love these Whittle Birds!
The last one gave me a tussle getting the ink to lift. There was a bit of pilling
that called for some tiny pearls and some Wink of Stella. Yes the sentiment is crooked.
I'm hoping the little butterfly is getting all the attention.

Oh Bonnie, these are just GORGEOUS! Love the orange one ... that's a color I rarely use but am impressed every time I see someone else create with it! These beauties also fit our Simply Clean & Simple (CAS) challenge too ... please feel free to come play along.

These are beautiful. Those pieces sure came in handy for these beautiful cards. Love them all.
ReplyDeleteI love your whittle birds too, Bonnie. Each card is lovely in its own right and it is such a great technique.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful and my favorite is the birds too. I love the orange and lifting the color from the blooms is a great way to highlight them. I don't mind a crooked sentiment as crooked is my middle name so it looks perfect to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm always happy when pink and orange come together - even if they aren't on the same card!
ReplyDeleteYou already know those roses are among my favorite - but that die - you have so many beauties!
Sweetest whittle birdies!
LOve the dotted background and of course the butterfly, too! h.e.l.l.o!

WOW, ALL the cards are absolutely gorgeous!!

Three more water lifting beauties Bonnie and all very different and all equally beautiful, but I do love birds so think the second in those hot citrus colours is my favourite. x
ReplyDeleteI love both of the pink cards Bonnie, but I especially LOVE the middle one with the whittle birds...especially since I just bought those dies and it's great to see them in action!! Lovely, lovely cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful waterlifting on all three cards, Bonnie! Love those abstract roses on the first. And I agree the second one is my favourite - I love those sweet birds too.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful, Bonnie. I love this combination of techniques. xx
ReplyDeleteYep, those Whittle Birds are adorable and so is the card they landed on! Two pretty pink cards, love the roses!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blending and water lifting. I think my favourite is the little birds ♥
ReplyDeleteWow...I LOVE all 3 of your ink blended cards using practice ink blending pieces, Bonnie. You are so creative and clever, my friend. I am finding the ink blending GO7 technique for August addicting...such beautiful results!! TFS your beauties, my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful trio of cards. Hard to pick a favorite but I am leaning a little towards those sweet little birds.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't got round to having a go with this technique. I love all 3 of these, but I think the orange one is my favourite too. I have been away for a few days so I am sorry not to have been able to visit all your recent posts, but I am all caught up now xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous collection of cards, Bonnie. I love the textures the lifting and the dry embossing add.
ReplyDeleteAll three cards are just beautiful, Bonnie, I love each and every one! I have the MFT stamp and should pull it out, but your other two flowers are beautiful too
ReplyDeleteWowie, I like this card with the pink piece even more than the first! What a beautiful design! The middle card with the Whittle Birds is my favorite, too. Love the colors, the stamping, and those birds are the sweetest! The butterfly, flowers, and color were getting all my attention on your third card. I had to scroll back up to see the crooked sentiment after reading your note. Gorgeous stuff, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteOH! Such gorgeous cards, each one is different, but the technique works so well on each. Sigh, so very lovely.

These are all so beautiful Bonnie! I love the first one, my favorite I think. The colors on the second one are indeed beautiful, love the leaves and of course those sweet little birds. Your last one is equally beautiful, love that color combo. I think your butterfly is doing it's job, because I didn't notice our sentiment was crooked until I read it. Love this one as well. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card Bonnie. I love the white heat embossed panel and the water lifting looks gorgeous. The die cut is really elegant too. Thanks for sharing with us at Krafty Chicks challenge this week. Hugs, Denise, Guest Designer x x
ReplyDeleteLove these cards, and so pretty, I need try a few of these techniques so pretty. Thanks again for playing our challenge at Krafty Chicks Challenge. Happy Krafty!
