I love this design, Bonnie and it does make me wish I could attend your classes and share in the fun! Love the colors as well as that triple frame die.

These are 2 of my fave SU colors...and fun that the designer picked the Pantone color of the year. Love the 3 window design with the sweet stamps.

Viv said...

Super stamps Bonnie and difficult to choose a fave from the two colour schemes. Like them both.... lots!

Coral is such a lovely color and your card is beautiful. Blue is my favorite color so I love that one too. I love the design of the cards.

Loll said...

Beautiful images that work perfect with your triple square framing. Both colours are so pretty. I love the little pop of contrasting colour with the flower center. xx

Carole said...

Great cards in both colours Bonnie.

The images with the worn away edges fit perfectly into those stitched squares, Bonnie, and look beautiful in either color,

I love Gina K's products too, even though I don't own a lot. She has awesome products and I hope to have a little more one day, but I really love her inks. I have some of her cubes and they are fabulous. I love, love, love these two cards Bonnie! That's a great stamp set and I too, love this years color of the year. This card in coral is just so beautiful and again so beautiful in the blue too. Hugs, Brenda

Great design and beautiful images, Bonnie! I've never seen Marina Mist used so effectively and beautifully like this. The color always looked "dull light blue" to me, but your design and choice of images made beauty of the color shine.

Jo said...

A trio of dreams. I love these stamps and your design. Keeping the monochrome theme truly adds to these beauties, complimented with the coloured matting ....and sentiment ;)
The popped up frame gives a totally other appeal. Beautiful xx

These pretty flower peeking out of the three dimensional windows are wonderful in both colours Bonnie, and I love the trio of stitched square apertures which display them beautifully. x
