Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I found this poinsettia in my UFO box. It wasn't my best stab at watercoloring,
but I just couldn't toss it.
The sketch at Freshly Made Sketches gave me an idea...
You can see the sketch below and I think this works.
Some stamped splatters and gold foil dots helped too.
It's all mounted on a piece of the back of a Mixed Media pad that was A-6 size, then
on a folded piece of Neenah Solar White.

ReplyDeleteBonnie, I think it's a great example of loose watercolouring (something I'm hopeless at!). It looks lovely set in the gold circle.

Beautifully done! I loved working with that stamp but it took me forever. LOVE how you framed this too- what a great idea if I mess up a small part of it (which happens regularly). Wonderful card!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, Bonnie! Your watercoloured poinsettia is fabulous and the touches of gold add so much elegance. Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
ReplyDeleteVERY pretty - your gold framing helped this poinsettia pop right off the page!
ReplyDeleteI love the loose watercolour effect, I always struggle with that :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful use of the image, which looks pretty good to me, and the sketch to create a stunning card Bonnie.
