This is absolutely gorgeous. I love that stamp on the blue background with th lettering through it. I need to start watching some videos so I can figure out how to do this stuff.
Striking card, wonderful vibrant colours and thank you for the information on the mixed media paper x.
Love the saturated colours you've used Christine. The colours look amazing together. The silver stenciling is so shiny and beautiful and also adds a lightness to the design. Love it! xx
This turned out very pretty, Christine! Love it with the diamond border and script stamp. Had me fooled for a minute with the magnolia branch turned differently. I had to double check to make sure it was the same stamp. Little things can sure make a difference!
Another mixed media beauty, Christine. Wonderful watercolouring. The script bleached background and silver embossed diamonds looks so cool together. xx
Beautiful - love the combination of the fuschia coloured flowers with the blue background. The script and diamonds give wonderful texture to the background. Carole Dion uses watercolour paper (and that's what I use for this technique, and will use at our retreat - I think it definitely works better).
Wow! Love the brilliant colors on this as well as the bleaching technique! Bleach is my favorite for ghosting since I'm the impatient type. So when can I sign up for my private lessons in background? LOVE this and love the products you use.
Beautiful background with your stencil ghosting, Christine. Love how you stamped and colored your pretty magnolias. A gorgeous card using all your new products. TFS my friend. Hugs..Nancy
Great colors, super stenciling, and I love the white script you used. Lots of cool stuff and a great look, Christine. I visited Carol's blog - she does do some fun stuff. Both of you are very talented! Hugz
I imagine the bleach would lighten up the card but I really like the color it is now. Beautiful coloring on the flowers and I like the touch of silver diamonds.
Another pretty flower and I love the diamond stenciling and script with the brilliant colored background!
Fantastic technique Christine, it's been ages since I had a go at this. Love your colour choice, the silver diamond edge really compliments the blues and purples. Fab!
Delightful and so pretty, thanks for commenting while I am away. We are having a lovely time away and it was nice to just have a play now and again to relax while having an extremely busy days...hugs..

Pretty colour combo Christine!
I love seeing your mixed media cards... As always so unique and beautiful!
Christine, your card is gorgeous, I love that deep blue, the bleaching technique has worked beautifully (I must try that one!) and the magnolia is wonderful! A really beautiful card. Hugs, Anne xx
The delicate script in the background is amazing, it emerges very discreetly and it's just beautiful. The whole card is unique, and intense colors have a low dose of energy.
Hugs,
