Eclipse of the Heart

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I'm back with my UFO box today.


I borrowed this stamp from a friend several years ago and stamped several.

It's a large stamp so I was able to cut some in half to get two mini slimline
cards from each image.  I had this one left and tucked it in the UFO box.

Can you see the eclipsed heart?

I still hyperventilate when I try to cut an image from a finished piece!
So far I've not been disappointed with the look.

The die cut love was also a leftover and the color seemed perfect.

Two UFOs found a home.

Bonnie... I am swooning! Oh to color like you... what a gorgeous floral design. The ecliped heart is so subtle and so perfect! Thanks so much as always for joining and sharing at Just Us Girls this week.

TK said...

I spy your lovely heart (both of them)! It's a beautiful card, and I'm definitely with you about cutting into, or even cutting in half, a finished piece. Your stamp is definitely a beautifully watercolored piece though!

Bobby said...

The flowers are beautifully colored...but I've looked and looked and I can't find the eclipsed heart! Clearly I'm the only one...sigh.

Marcia Hill said...

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL Bonnie, and although it did take me a few seconds, I did see your eclipsed heart...definitely a perfect way to add a subtle heart!! Your coloring is so pretty on this lovely, lovely card too! Thanks so much for sharing it with us at The Flower Challenge! Hugs. :0)

This is really lovely. The eclipsed heart is so clever. I can't wait for spring now when the flowers will start blooming.

Leslie Miller said...

Ohhhh, my! This is beyond gorgeous in the most fresh and cheerful way! Your no line coloring is amazing. My breath is taken! That must be a very large stamp if this is only half of it. Lots more to love! I see the heart and it's a very sweet and subtle accent. Thank you so much for sharing this beauty in our Heartfelt challenge at Double D!

Beautiful bright and brilliantly coloured flowers Bonnie, and I love the eclipse technique with the added heart and the complementary coloured 'love' die cut you added is just perfect. x

Another beautiful UFO revival. Gorgeous colouring and colours. Love the eclipse heart.

Nstiz said...

This is so beautifully colored, Bonnie. I'd break out in a cold sweat cutting into artwork done so well but it sure is a gorgeous card! I've done this only one time and DID have a hard time cutting into the coloring. I haven 't done it since.
