Good Merry Monday morning!
The fabulous creator of Merry Monday, Leslie (Always Playing with Paper) is offering our challenge this week.
I was inspired by the beautiful floral arrangement.
I used a variety of die cuts that had been cut from mixed media paper.
I watercolored them with Zigs and Copics, and then arranged them in the corner.
I only added one little punched flower because more seemed to be too many.
I love making floral arrangements and it's as much fun with paper as with the real thing!
What will inspire you from this photo challenge?
I can't wait to see what you bring to
Merry Monday!
Edited to add that I can enter
Memory Box Outside the Box Challenge
WATERCOLOR
I've watercolored these dies including the Memory Box Forest Pine Branch.
My stamped sentiment, watercolored die cuts, and scoring (dry embossing),
and CAS (Clean And Simple) layout are perfect for our June challenge at
CAS Mix Up.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Love it Bonnie! Perfect take on the photo. Oh I hope I can squeeze out some time this week to join the challenge!
WOW ... that is one gorgeous Christmas arrangement. LOVE the beautiful mix of dies that you've used. You have watercoloured them to perfection. This is so elegant Bonnie! xx
Wow Bonnie, there is so much depth in this card, I had to go back and look a second time!! this is gorgeous...and how fortunate to enter it to the CAS Mix Up too!! You are always one step ahead of the game!!
Have a great week and thanks for you help!
Oh dear! I'm amazed at the depth of this skillful watercoloring. Those green leaves look so real- ditto the branches & pine boughs...I wanted to just reach out & touch them. Love the way you've done the floral swag, and the one tiny white flower was just perfect. More _would_ have been too many. Love the red checks on that ribbon. So much texture in the shaping too. This could just hang on a tiny door at Christmas!!! Once again, you hit it out of the ball park, Miss B. This is just fabulous, and with the most appropriate sentiment verse too. TFS & Hugs
Such a pretty and breathtaking card. Traditional colours and the most perfect sentiment. Great texture and die cutting...love it! x
Fabulous!!!! Love this and that pretty arrangement of greenery. Reminds me so much of Christmas and the fact it will be soon!

Love your sprig of holly Bonnie. Very pretty!
Bonnie, such a beautiful card using the floral arrangement as your inspiration. Hope you have a great week.
Oh, Bonnie, this is so rich and real looking with the coloring you did. And the gingham ribbon, single flower and sentiment are the perfect touches. A real motivator to others (like me!) to focus on making Christmas cards while time to enjoy it...
A beautiful arrangement and a beautiful card, love the sentiment "verse" it suits it perfectly.

Loving your floral arrangement, Bonnie. Very eye catching :)
What a beautiful die cut holiday spray!
Bonnie, I think this is one of my all-time favourites of your cards! I love the spray of holiday greenery and the perfect accents of red berries, one white flower, and the gingham ribbon. And it is such a perfect interpretation of the inspiration photo! Beautifully done!
What a gorgeous cluster of elements. Love your beautiful card.
Beautiful Bonnie - really gorgeous!

Gorgeous! Floral arranging is something I struggle with and just love seeing this. LOVE this! Yours is outstanding! It's so beautifully done!
Wow, this is a stunning Christmas card Bonnie! I love how you made your flower arrangement from so many dies! Love the sentiment too. I can't arrange flowers worth a darn, so I'm impressed that you can arrange them on paper. Hugs, Brenda
Ah! The greenery. That is what jumped out at me from the inspiration photo as well. Lovely card!!!
Totally gorgeous sprig, Bonnie - the gingham adds the perfect touch! Love the scored frame too!!
