Pink Wildflowers and a Kraft-Coloured Bee

After my recent spring flowers, I'm going with a simple wildflower today.

I created a stenciled background in yellow and then stamped the images with a brown ink close to kraft. I then coloured them lightly with Distress markers scribbled on an acrylic block and a wet brush.

I've got the four colours for the current Color Throwdown challenge - the wildflowers are pink, the leaves are green, the bee is kraft-coloured, and the honeycomb and card base are yellow.

French Marigold

I spent a wonderful day at Loll Thompson's house on Saturday.  We made lots of backgrounds using different techniques and did some watercolouring using Twinkling H2Os.  I made this card with two of the pieces from that day.

 

The background was made by spraying the honeycomb ef with yellow and orange sprays (homemade by Loll), and then the mixed media cs was pressed onto it.  I love the random coverage and the splatters I got at the top.

The marigold is stamped and heat embossed in gold on mixed media cs, then watercoloured with Twinkling H2Os.  It was fussy cut and then the stem was glued flat to the background and the upper part of the flower popped up.  I bordered the panel with gold cs.
