Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I had so much fun coloring this card!
A sweet friend sent me some pressings from her Betterpress collection and I have been
squeezing in a few minutes every day to color. This time I colored with Zigs.
I hadn't used them for a long time.
The color really soaks into this paper which is a good thing for rich color,
not so good for lighter colors. So I swiped some on my palette and picked up
the color with my waterbrush for the lighter shades.
I wondered if my mini slimline dies would fit in the sentiment space and was
happy to see that this one fit well.
I've had this sentiment for many years and rarely find an opportunity to use it.
It was so much fun that I colored another Betterpress image also shared from another friend.
Crafting Friends are the BEST!
This time I colored with Distress re-inkers, markers and inkpads smooshed on a palette.
challenged herself. It's a good way to get inspired! I used Zigs and Distress inks.

Two beautifully colored pieces, Bonnie! Your Zigs were exceptional for adding all this gorgeous, bright, saturated colors! I adore that first plate - must remember to press a few more of those next time we gather!
I saw a few Forsythias blooming yesterday - wish I could say they were in my own yard!

Two beautifully colored cards. The colors are so bright on your first card and the sentiment is great. The second card is just as pretty. Yes, it is great to have crafting friends to share with. Have a wonderful week.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL coloring on both cards Bonnie! Love, LOVE the bold and bright colors on both, and so glad you were able to fit that wonderful sentiment in on the Butterfly Garden card...a perfect sentiment for a perfect card! Coloring on these press plate cards really is SO much fun!! Lovely, lovely cards my friend! Hugs. :0)
Before I read your post, I was sure that you worked with ready-made color paintings. And it turned out that it was you who colored the Betterpress pictures so beautifully. IM very impressed. I love both cards.

Isn't it nice to just sit and color for a while? I have to be careful or time can get away from me. Your coloring is fabulous on both card, Bonnie. I find it easier to use Zigs so it's good to know you can use it on Better Press paper as well as Bristol. I say that knowing I won't be coloring any BP images. ;)
You've colored these beautifully, Bonnie! Both cards are wonderful. Hope you enjoyed a Happy Easter!
