Sending Love

 I have been playing with watercolours and came up with this card.....

The Flower Challenge this month is pretty pastels and 
Color Hues challenge is Pink and green.
Both Challenges influenced my colours and tones this month.

After stamping I watercoloured the flowers and then fussy cut them out.
Some of the leaves where stamped onto the card
and some where cut out using the co-ordinating die.

After all the effort I wasn't sure about the splats but I just went for it!

Thank you for stopping by my blog, I really do appreciate it.
Sending love and hugs to all that need it...I so miss hugging!

Challenges I would love to enter.....
The Flower Challenge is pretty pastels
Color Hues challenge is Pink and green
Thrilled with my shout out....Thank you very much
Uniko - Signs of Spring
Tic Tac Toe Challenge I have chosen the middle from top to bottom....
Thank you very much for my Team Pick x

This card is beautiful. There is nothing like watercolours to get that gorgeous shading and the splatters are such a great way to finish the design. They look like rain drops....no they look like the hailstones that we had this weekend Lol! It's just a stunner! Have creative week, Angela xXx

Donna Ellis said...

The splats look amazing with the watercolors, Mac! I especially admire that there don't appear to be any gold splats on the flowers themselves. This is a gorgeous card! huggers, de

Karen said...

These watercolored flowers are just stunning! The hints of gold in the design are highlighted by your simple gold framing. Thanks for joining us at Color Hues!

Susan said...

Mac, this is stunning! I love your fabulous watercolouring and gorgeous shades of green and pink. The splatters worked out perfectly and the bit of gold around the edge frames it really well.

Jeanne H said...

I agree, a really beautiful card. I love pink, but hesitate to splatter. You do it well, but I lack the nerve. :-)

BożenA said...

Another gorgeous card, Mac !! I was speechless, but I have known for a long time that when I visit your website, I will not be able to say anything, I will only be able to admire ... A wonderful card, I even smelt the scent of these wild roses and felt the warmth of the sun's rays on my back. I envy Bonnie, but I totally understand that Bonnie is going to get it :-) You proved once again that you are an incredibly talented artist, Mac.
Hugs,
BożenA

Mac, I forgot to mention that I hug you very much. We hug you with all four of us, me and my husband and my parents :-))

Brenda said...

Well you certainly don't need to practice with watercoloring Mac! This is just stunning! I love the edge done in the gold, but it is those blooms and leaves so perfectly watercolored that steal the show! I can't even imagine being able to do watercoloring like this. Those blooms are just gorgeous! Hugs, Brenda

Joan said...

Wow! this is stunning, love the colours and those beautifully coloured flowers

Oh my, this card is stunning Mac and your colouring is out of this world. I tried to comment from my IPad the other day but it kept leaving my comment as anonymous, so I'm now on my home computer and it seems to be working just fine. I love how you've water coloured the roses, as always, it's like a piece of fine art! Absolutely gorgeous and I love it x

Wiebke Kommerell said...

Mac, I absolutly love your water coloured wild roses! Everying fits perfectly together: the beautiful colours, the nested sentiment, the dimension of roses and leaves,...
And the roses have such a fresh look - the splattered dots seems to be little drops of morning dew or after a short spring rain.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful card with us in the Uniko Spring Challenge #64.
