Ya'll enjoy the day. I'll try to catch up on visiting...having one of my respiratory bouts just at the moment, so a bit slow. Big Cyber Hugs..and thanks for your visit!
Beautiful card. Love it!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Mary :) huggles Sue xx
ReplyDeleteI think you really have perfected this Mary and the watercolouring is so pretty and that size and shape of flower and the stitched rectangle works well with this technique. Sorry you are feeling a bit under the weather at the moment with your respiratory problem and hope it soon clears up. x
ReplyDeleteYour CAs is very elegant, love the flowers (I haven't seen them ever) and the fab colours tones, they look great with your blending. Love so much the navy and gold mat,it gives a gorgous touch to the stitched frames and matches perfectly with the golden pearlized sentiment!
ReplyDeleteHope that your respiratory bouts come away quickly! Thanks for your lovely comment on my cat :)
I see that you are getting this technique down and I do like this stamp you used. Your zig watercolor is really pretty and well done. I hope you get over your breathing difficulities soon. That is no fun. The humidity here is really getting to me. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning, Mary!! You've mastered the spotlight technique!! The flowers look amazing!! I love how you've colored them!! Gorgeous!! I hope you are breathing much better soon. Have a great evening!! Big hugs :)

ReplyDeleteLook what Brenda started! Now we're all having fun making cards with this technique! I like the flowers you chose and the way you colored them! I sometimes wish the world had more blue flowers like this to enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteI think this is great! I love the colour and I believe you have the technique down pat...in my humble opinion
ReplyDeleteI would definitely call this a success! Love the colors you used!
ReplyDeleteHope you will feel better soon!
You rocked the spotlight, Mary! I like the stamp you used. I look forward to seeing more:)

Hi Mary,
ReplyDeletesuch a very pretty card, and I love the stamping of those gorgeous blooms.
Must have a go at this type of thing soon.
You did make me laugh when you said oops! and you had scheduled it for the wrong day.
I think they call it senior moment.
I seem to be getting those myself far too much lately.
Love and biggest hugs from my house to yours.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
What a gorgeous card Mary!! You rocked this technique, and I think you chose the perfect flower stamp for it. Love how you did the opposing corners, you've created a natural line for the eye to follow, love that!! Hope you are having good weather in Carolina, send me some rain if you have some to spare. lol. hugs :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting the spot light is on top I have always put it under an opening I will be trying this ...............Lis
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the beautiful pop of blue! I have not tried this technique yet but will have to give it a try.

Mary, this is beautiful! I give you so much credit for continuing working on a technique you found difficult. Looks to me like you perfected it! Love those colors!
ReplyDeleteFabulous work and such a pretty card, lovely floral images and beautifully colored, love it, Kate x
ReplyDeleteLoving your collection of these floral cards. They are all wonderful Mary. I like the blue tones on this one.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying seeing what people make with this technique. I'm sure it will be long forgotten by the time I get around to trying it. I like this card a lot.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Mary, love this flower you chose. It is a wonderful technique and like you every time I think of a flower a dozen others have also thought of it. I did one previously using a Penny Back stamp that was quite a big image and included a butterfly and was very pleased with the end result but I like how you have done the corresponding corners in colour. Looks wonderful
ReplyDeleteWell you can't complain about this card Momma Mary! The spotlight technique turned out fabulous with this flower! I love playing with the Zigs when doing this technique. lol I just made another spotlight technique card too with the stamp set you sent me! Thanks again!!! Humm, I mustn't have read well last post but I too like the links when people list them. It's easy to forget or not to do it though. Hugs, Brenda
