I am so excited to be the Guest Designer at
for the month of May.
Here's the challenge for this month.
Loll (Stamping with Loll)
who is the leader of this challenge, has posted a video
to show how to get dimension from your die cuts.
Be sure to check it out.
What a difference the sponging and shaping make!
I used 2 dies and a punch for this card.
The die is by Penny Black
and the punch is Stampin' Up!
I cut the iris and sponged it, then used an Aqua Painter to spread the colors.
Using Loll's technique, I "curled" the petals
with a burnishing tool.
Adhering the iris with tiny pieces of dimensionals added even more depth to the card.
I love the dimension. IRL it looks like the iris is growing out of the card!

Gorgeous card Bonnie. LOVE the depth and dimension you've gotten with your beautiful iris and butterfly. Thanks so much for being our Guest Designer at Happy Little Stampers this month!! It's so fun working with you! xx
This is fabulous Bonnie! That Iris is so real looking! I found this card to be serene, there's just something very soothing about it! Thanks for the inspiration over at HLS. Hazel xx
Wowzer Bonnie! What a stunning card and so realistic. I love the colouring and shaping.
You could enter this into this fortnight's Cuttlebug Mania Challenge as you did some stamping (a sentiment counts) as well as die cutting :)

Congrats on your well deserved Guest DT spot, Bonnie! Your card is absolutely stunning...Such a lovely Iris, and I love how you colored your butterfly! I can really see the added dimension with your shaping and sponging, and it works so well with your beautiful CAS design!
This card draws attention! It is extremely beautiful. Irises are so realistic! Great use of dies and color. Thank you for the inspiration.

Klass-y card, as usual! You did a great job making that iris "pop" and the color you chose is perfect. We have some irises that color, and they bloom right around our anniversary every year.
Stunning card Bonnie, love the bling and dimension.
Very pretty. Love the Iris.
Absolutely stunning and so elegant, Bonnie.

Wonderful sense of dimension, Bonnie. I love irises and yours reminds me of the Siberian irises that are about to bloom in my garden. Lovely layout with the stitched rectangle, the butterfly, and the sentiment complementing the iris, but letting it take centre stage.
Further to my comment above - I meant to also say congratulations on being Guest Designer at HLS. A perfect card for their challenge!
Beautifully made - I wish I could think of something original to say but BEAUTIFUL is so appropriate!!
