Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I've recently seen some cards done with Brushstroke stamps by
Penny Black. It's one of my favorite techniques and I hadn't done it
in quite a while. I checked my NBUS box first and didn't see any
Brushstroke stamps in there so I started going through the shelves.
When I saw Sweetly Scented, I knew it was the one.
I used Distress mini ink pads to add color to the stamp and lightly spritzed
before stamping. A damp brush blended the colors easily and using the
MISTI meant I could restamp if needed.
After it was colored, I did some splatters then wondered why I hadn't done a
wash in the background first. I was able to get a wash done by being very careful.
The scallop and stitch die were a gift from a sweet friend.
I cut the borders and embossed the stitching with the dies.
A little butterfly from the box and this is ready to send to our
sister-in-law who is recovering from a broken hip.

A beautiful look using a brushstrokes PB stamp Bonnie and such pretty coloured coneflowers and the soft grey wash and spatters make a perfect background, and finished so well with the gorgeous butterfly and flourishy sentiment. x
Wow, Bonnie! Those flowers are beautiful. That technique makes wonderful flowers and you made it happen in such a delightful way.
My goodness, Bonnie this is a stunning piece of art. I'd frame it.
Such a bright and cheerful card! Thanks for sharing at JUGS
You are a wiz with those stamps, Bonnie! I hope you spent the whole day with your stash of brushstroke stamps!
A very beautiful card and the love is evident in every stroke!

Aren't brushstroke stamps so fun to play with?! Your card turned out so pretty with the bright sunny colors and your background wash turned out great too! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Bonnie, I really like your take on Lisa's card with the pretty yellow and scalloped edges. What a calming scene you created! Thanks for playing in our CASE a DT challenge at JUGS this week!
I am glad you searched out these stamps as they look fbulous and well done for getting the background looking so good without interfering with the flowers xx
This is gorgeous, Bonnie! Perhaps I can stamp this one while I am there!
Oh, my goodness yes, you made this sooo pretty! The scallops and butterfly add even more femininity to these sweet yellow blooms. I'm smitten! I've made two cards with this stamp over the last few days and now too busy to photograph and post them. Life and fair weather activities ... can't complain.
Beautiful and cheery card. Love the pretty yellow flowers and lovely scalloped layer. Your background wash looks perfect. This is sure to cheer your sister-in-law up. Sorry to hear she has a broken hip. Sending prayers.
PB brushstroke stamps are my all time favorite stamps! This is a lovely & elegant card. Wondering if follow Jill Foster on the Penny Black Youtube channel (PB&J)? Very talented young woman & who shares her talents PB products!
This charming card is sure to brighten the spirits of your sister-in-law! The florals are so lovely, and your scalloped panel and pretty butterfly make for one wonderful card. I have a new PB brushstroke stamp, and this is the inspiration I need!
Ohhh I adore this! I must try this technique, but in the meantime I get to drool over your beautiful card. What a great way to send healing wishes
Great job with the brushstroke stamps - you created a beautiful watercolour look. So pretty with the scalloped edge.
Oh My.......your sister in law is going to be thrilled with her very special get well card :-) Thank you Bonnie so much for sharing:-) Love and Hugs...Nancy
Absolutely amazing, Bonnie! This is oozing with summer prettiness!
Sorry about your SIL, Bon. :( I hope she has a smooth recovery. Your beautiful card will certainly cheer her up! You did a great job with the direct-to-stamp technique and well done on the wash and the schplatters! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS and for using this week's I.D.E.A.S. Calendar and linking up to motivate others!📌 Hugs, Darnell
A comfort card for sure with beautiful coloring, cheerful colors and a sweet scalloped mat. I hope she is back to 100% soon.
What beautiful work with watercolor, my dear Bonnie. It is not an easy technique at all and I must admit that you have mastered it very well. Your flowers look beautiful, perfectly saturated with color, which worked so wonderfully with water. The wash in the background also looks stunning. I am sure your sister-in-law will be delighted.
Hugs,
BożenA
Gorgeous brush stroke flowers and wonderfully coloured. The splatters pull it all together beautifully ♥
I just love the technique you used on coloring this stamp Bonnie! They are just beautiful with the blue wash background and wonderful splatter! Julia xx
Beautiful The yummy yellow colour is so bright and cheery. Amazing job with the background wash after the fact.
Beautiful card Bonnie. Your colouring of your flowers is amazing. And I am so impressed with your background wash of colour, which really makes the flowers pop. There is many a time I have coloured flowers first only to realize it would have been better to do the background beforehand. You did an amazing job of that. xx
Such a pretty card. I have a couple of older PB brushstroke stamps. I need to dust them off and try this out.
