Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
The Black-eyed Susan is one of my favorite flowers.
When I was a kid, the meadow behind our house was full of them in the Summer
and since they weren't in my Mom's garden, I could pick all I wanted.
These were all colored and in my UFO box. They are from a Digital Stamp by Power Poppy and I'd colored them when we were staying with our grandsons. When I got home,
I was on to something else and they were put up for later.
This one was printed in grayscale and colored with Copics.
I cut it with an elongated hexagon die and fussy cut a larger hexagon to
put behind the design. The cover plate background was also in my UFO box
waiting for the right design to go with it.
And....
This one was printed light, (I'm not sure how I did that!) and colored with
Caran'dache Supracolor Pencils with a light wash of Tumbled Glass re-inker
in the background.
I added them behind a frame cut with a circle die and added a thin circle frame
and thin strips of cardstock to bring out the yellow in the design.
This one doesn't say birthday but can be used for almost any occasion.

Bonnie, I adore Black Eyed Susans - and Brown eyed Susan's, too! Yours are so wonderfully colored and deserving of those fun frames!

Two pretty cards with those Black Eyed Susans. I love how you colored them and framed them so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteA field of black-eyed Susan's is a wonder to behold, Bonnie, and I love how you added that feel to your cards. I can't believe you actually remember what you did on something you made a while ago. The details sometimes elude me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing such a sweet memory with us! Your cards are lovely, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteBoth of your cards are absolutely beautiful, and lovely, lovely coloring on both too! These sure brought sunshine to my day Bonnie and will definitely brighten the recipients day too! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteTwo beauties with that digi image, Bonnie - love the embossing behind the flowers on card one and the added stripes on card two! Fun to have those memories of flower picking where you didn't get into trouble (I didn't have that in the city - lol).
ReplyDeleteSoooo pretty....TFS
ReplyDeletePaper Hugs,

You are so great at coloring and shading flowers, Bonnie. I like that elongated die and beautiful background. Both cards are lovely. What a view you had right in your own backyard as a child.
ReplyDeleteI love the black eyed susans... they are also the state flower of Maryland. YOur cards are full of beautiful colored images and lots of yellow...a sure winner for my eyes.
ReplyDeleteI thought I recognized those flowers! You know I love the yellow. You have the most beautiful things in your UFO box. It's absolutely lovely that you've given these summer flowers a home!
ReplyDeleteI just WISH my UFO box had the stuff in it that yours does. These are SO well colored and can't believe you just stashed them away. Love your framing as well as the light wash you added. That's something I'm just too heavy handed to do. Beautiful cards, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards Bonnie which feature these oh so pretty Black-eyed Susan flowers and both with some great colouring. I also love that cover plate background on the first and the elongated hexagon and the circular shapes of die cut mats both show off the flowers perfectly. x
ReplyDeleteBonnie these are beautiful cards - love your use of the image - your colouring of them is perfect, and I love the differing way you have mounted them
ReplyDeleteBlessings

I can just imagine the meadow of your childhood Bonnie, glowing with these beautiful flowers! Love the way you have showcased your stamped blooms with touches of yellow and adore the cover plate on the first card. Vicky x
ReplyDeleteYou are taking me along with you and back to my childhood, Bonnie! The only difference is the field was across the street and down a steep hill. Both of your cards are just beautiful. Your coloring on both is exceptional which is no surprise. The circle one really draws your eye in. Thanks for sharing your talents with us at Seize the Birthday!
ReplyDeleteYour black-eyed Susan's are so beautiful Bonnie. I love both versions and the design of both cards is so beautiful with the added framing and embossed background on the first. I am so in awe of your watercolouring and your pencil colouring. Amazing work, my friend! xx
ReplyDeleteTwo digis that were right up your alley, and used beautifully, I might add! Perfect coloring and layout, each is very nice
ReplyDeleteBoth are beautiful. Love the delicate no-line colouring look on the second card. Once again, your UFO box is amazing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Blackeyed Susan's, your colouring is perfect on both ♥
ReplyDeleteLovely cards! Your colouring is beautiful, and I love the way you've framed the flowers! Thank you for sharing and playing along with us at AAA Birthday, hope you'll join us in future challenges too. Take care, keep crafting and have fun!
