A Small Hello

Hi everyone.  Today sharing another zig watercoloured card.  I heat embossed the image in white, watercoloured and then decided to fussy-cut to pop it up on top of a beautiful die-cut card front.  I borrowed this die from Nancy last May at our craft retreat.  'bout time I got around to using it! :)  I think they look great together.

The zigs are so vibrant.  This flower almost looks fluorescent, it's so bright.  Definitely need to wear sunglasses with this card! :)

Here's a close-up
Thanks for coming by for a visit!






Stamps:  Beautiful Blooms (SU!); Sentiment - Chit Chat (Paper Smooches)
Paper:  Mixed Media paper (Strathmore 140 lb. 400 Series); White card base (Neenah 110 lb.)
Ink:  White Pigment Ink (Hero Arts); Zigs
Accessories & Tools:  White embossing powder, heat tool, water brush, die-cut card front from friend (sorry, don't know name of die).

    I am always mesmerized by your shading with watercolor, Loll! Love the shadows on this one! I have those negative dies and never did use them so thank you too for ideas in how to put them to use. This card is gorgeous and love the vibrant color.

    Your Zig watercolored flower is so beautiful, Loll! I love the smooth shading and the bright pretty colorsz1 (Where are my sunglasses? ;-D)
    The die-cut pattern of the front panel adds interest and the panel looks like a gardening fence. Hideko xx

    That flower is absolutely beautiful. I love the bright, bold color. I also really like the background die. It almost looks like a trellis and sets off the gorgeous flower wonderfully. Thanks so much for sharing! Happy weekend to you!

    Beautiful card! Such vibrant colors for this stand-out flower. And the die cut background is so unique. I agree -- the two belong together. Hope you are beginning to have some spring weather.

    Fluorescent is what came to my mind too, Loll, although it's gorgeous in its vibrancy. Great die cut too.
