Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
It's really hot and humid here these days. Summer has arrived!
Here's where I'd like to be....
I'll have to settle for dreaming for now, but watercoloring this image was fun.
I've stamped with Memento ink on mixed media paper and colored with
Distress re-inkers and my waterbrush.
I used a sentiment from the set and topped with two thin frames.

Your sweet and thoughtful comments warm my heart!
I'm sitting alongside you on that bench, Bonnie! AND I have just the beach for it!
ReplyDeleteGosh, this is just the cutest stamp and sentiment ever!

I love this card - three friends and cocktails on the beach - who could ask for more. The colors are beautiful - so bright and clean. I am amazed at the suggestion of ocean fading into the sky. Your painting/coloring is exceptional. I love every thing about this card. I think Art and I should reconsider moving to Cary.

Your watercoloring is wonderful! The ladies are hilarious, and I'm with you--I'd (almost always) rather be on the beach even though the heat wave hasn't quite arrived. Think it's due tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThis is a scene I see often here at the lake, Bonnie, but it hasn't really been warm enough days in a row for it to happen. You colored those fun loving ladies beautifully and I love the addition of the navy frames.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be sitting there with you, Bonnie ~ perhaps in the polka dots! This is just as cute as it can be!
ReplyDeleteOops, thanks for sharing this with us at Just Us Girls!
ReplyDeleteI love your three sweet ladies enjoying the beach and their drinks and ice creams, and beautifully watercoloured and with a fun sentiment. It's very hot here in the south west of England today at 33°...doesn't get this hot very often thank goodness. x
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute card and fun sentiment. Your coloring is fabulous. I think I could sit there with you.
ReplyDeleteThe beach is best when it's hot and humid, and these three ladies have got the right idea! You've colored them beautifully. Love their outfits, and I really like the idea of "upgraded versions of fabulous". I'll have to tell all my friends. I'm so glad you shared in our beach challenge at Double D!
ReplyDeleteThis is great. Lovely stamp and the frames are a great finishing touch xx
ReplyDeleteI love the watercoloring and then the formal like frames. It all comes together for a wonderfully fun card. I do want to be there too.
ReplyDeleteOMG....Adorable girlfriends enjoying their day at in the beach and soaking up the sun:-) TFS dear friend:-) Love and Hugs and Do enjoy the early Summer Sunshine :-)
ReplyDeleteI think that's Michele and I on the ends and you in the middle Bonnie, just whiling away the hours at the beach!! Sounds a bit like heaven to me! Especially since we're supposed to be in the mid 90's for the next 4 days! (That's so not normal for Michigan!) But anyway, your card is FABULOUS and your water coloring perfection!! The sentiment is perfect too and I also love the thin frames!! Sweet, sweet card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteYour scene is perfectly colored and perfectly represented by the image -- and DEFINITELY a place to be dreaming about, with besties by your side! Great card, Bonnie, and I love the two flat frames that do the work without the bulk
ReplyDeleteBonnie, you took the pretty colors from our moodboard and made such a fun beachy scene! I too went beachy with my card and I get what you were thinking. Love it! Thanks for playing at Just Us Girls!
ReplyDeleteCocktails on the beach with some besties, what's not to love! FAB image and great water coloring! Thanks so much for playing along with us at The Double D, Beach Challenge. Donna, DT Member.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun card - love that sentiment. I'd be very happy to spend a day at the beach with a couple of girlfriends!
ReplyDeleteGuess I am going to have to shove one of these great ladies off the bench so I can join you! Love their feet in the sand and water just a few steps away. Great coloring on the whole scene. We are in the 90's all week too and the humidity is awful.
ReplyDeleteFantastic summer card Bonnie. LOVE those ladies sitting at the beach with drink(s) in hand (or both hands)! :) Your watercolouring is amazing. xx
ReplyDeleteOh Bonnie, what a wonderful card. Beautifully coloured and framed. That sentiment is so apt, especially for me with my second generation blonde hair (ie, white).
ReplyDeleteMay you have such good friends and share a day at the beach with them.
Blessings
Maxine
A fabulous image, colouring and sentiment, Love it. Such fun. x
ReplyDeleteWonderful take on the mood board and your coloring brings those sunbathers to life!
ReplyDeleteA seaside vacation... I dream of that too. I love your work with watercolor, really professional coloring, my dear Bonnie. I love both sand and sky, you have presented it wonderfully. Two thin navy blue frames lead the eye to the center of the card. Brilliant card.

I heard the heat really cranked up after we left. Your temps were hotter than mine. This card is just fabulous and so well watercolored. Stay cool!
ReplyDeleteFabulous and fun indeed! Beautifully coloured.
