Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I am still having fun playing my my Betterpress system. I love the crisp images!
This is such a large image and perfect for a slimline card. In this case it's a
Monarch 3 1/2" by 8 1/2" card.
I used the colors for the Color Hues Challenge where my friend Marcia
chose light blue and navy.
Jack and family gave me a new set of alcohol markers for Christmas. They come from
Amazon and the brand in Ohuhu. So far I am really liking them. Jack brought his
pastel color markersto share and I used both his set and mine to get the two shades of blue.
I used some gray colors for the stems and leaves and added a bit of blue to them.
I did some splatters to finish it off. I found that a drop of reinker on an old acrylic
block and flicked off with a wet brush worked great.
I didn't add a sentiment because my friend saw this card and told me multiple times
that she would frame it and it would be perfect between her mirrors. Needless to say,
she will be getting this card.
Color Hues #78 - Light Blue and Navy
NBUS #58 - Never Before Used Schtuff

Oooo - love your blue daisies, Bonnie - the slimline format is perfect to showcase this large image! And how fun that you and Jack can trade markers! You've inspired me to pull out my new daisies too :)
ReplyDeleteWOW! This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL Bonnie! You've used the shades of blue perfectly on these lovely pressed plate flowers and I'm so glad to hear you're having fun with the Better Press system! And how fun too that you and Jack are sharing markers...they sure worked great on this slimline card!! Thanks so much for sharing this beauty with us at The Color Hues Color Challenge!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous, Bonnie! Isn't it sad that the photos don't show that wonderful impression the press makes? But I know it's there! Lovely shades of blue - I've heard good things about those Ohuhu markers, and it seems they blended beautifully with Jack's! [of course, you know I love the grey leaves!]

That image was made for a slimline card, Bonnie, and your new markers colored it beautifully. My daughter often says to leave off the sentiment because the cards are worth framing. This one definitely is and your friend will be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful! You had me at blue...and those little speckles are so sweet!
ReplyDeleteAs the others have said this spray of flowers works perfectly with the slimline card design. The use of the greyish blue leaves works well keeping it well in the Color Hues range! Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely image for the slimline. The blues work so well with the image as well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Bonnie. Love those gorgeous flowers done in shades of blue! xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful use of the new alcohol markers Bonnie, and love the blues with the greys, and such a pretty slimline shape for the card. A really lovely Christmas pressent too. x
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, Bonnie! I would want to frame it too! So glad you are enjoying your new stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love when such a beautiful card finds a good home! You sure did a nice job with those markers!

ReplyDeleteYour friend has the right idea, this beautiful work of idea is worthy of framing!!

After seeing your beautiful card, I had to investigate the Betterpress system.
ReplyDeleteDecided not for me - I have enough paper and stamps to sink a battle ship! You must need a separate house to keep all of the supplies that you use for card making!!

This blend of blues is beautiful. I guess I need to check out the Betterpress System. Your cards made with it are so beautiful. I love that Jack is so into art and is so good at it.
