I've die cut this sweet viola from watercolor paper twice and colored
with Distress Ink smooshed onto a palette and picked up with a waterbrush.
The background peeking out through this pretty open die cut was
done by smooshing a paper towel that had been used to wipe up some
Lindy's Magicals. There's some sparkle on it even if the camera can't see it.
I hope you are seeing signs of the World blooming around you.
Challenges:

Just lovely Bonnie - the sentiment is so beautiful too. x
A Very Beautiful card Bonnie. Love those violets. I read once that violets are the only perfume, your mind cannot remember? I can't seem to remember, it could just be me LOL.
Keep safe and well.

Beautifully coloured and love the background behind the pretty cut out Bonnie. A fantastic card and a great sentiment to finish it. x
beautiful waterclouring of the die cut Bonnie, and love that background peeking through your open die cut background. :)
Simply gorgeous Bonnie, loving the die cut background with the paper towel smooching, very pretty, Hugs Robyn
An exquisite card Bonnie - love it, especially the die cut and the soft colours behind it.
I am seeing the trees colour and now the leaves are falling... I was picking them up today to use to mulch the gardens ready for winter.
Stay safe
Blessings

Oh your Violas are so pretty! Yes everything is blooming - more than usual since the air is better! Thinking of you
Just love these darling Violas, Bonnie! The window they are seen through is pretty gorgeous, too!
Not much blooming here … but my peonies are popping up!

GORGEOUS!!!!

This is beautiful. I love the cutout panel with the lovely smooshed paper behind it and your pretty watercolor flowers. TFS
Right now the world is not blooming but I think we are getting ready to pop! Speaking of popping - your card pops with those pretty violets and I love what you did with the background!

Beautiful violas, and your panel behind the cut-out makes a perfect stained glass window to let the sun shine through
Gorgeous Spring card, Bonnie. I love your mopped up ink with paper towel background for the beautiful die cut panel. It goes beautifully with your die cut and watercolored violets. We have 3 colors of violets...yellow (wild), lavendar and purple violets that have naturalized in all our gardens and even in the grass. They are so pretty and sweet. We are blooming everywhere...flowering trees, wild flowers and many perennials are blooming and are gorgeous along with our green grass and beautiful new leaves on all the trees. Now we are having light rain so we do not have to water:-) Thank you so much for sharing your Spring beauty. I need to add your viola dies to my wishlist:-) Enjoy your Spring...Love and Hugs...Nancy
After seeing your amazing card I did go and look up your supplies so thank you for listing them. OH my gosh you brought that die to life and I love the die you used above it. I love how dimensional your violets are- and I doubt I'd have done something so beautiful. Thanks for all your inspiration, Bonnie! But my shopping list just got longer again (sigh).
Oh those violas are gorgeous Bonnie and your colouring with the puddles of ink perfect as usual! Love the little paper-towelled background peeping though the delicate die cut area. Vicky x
Those violas look so real and dimensional. Beautiful paper towel transfer background. Fabulous design having it peek through the die-cut.
I LOVE your violas, Bonnie. They are such beautiful shades of purple. Beautiful and elegant card with your lovely die-cut top panel with the pretty colours in-behind. xx
"Darling Viola" is a perfect title for your post - the viola truly is darling. I have them blooming in my garden right now and I love seeing those sweet little flowers. You coloured them and the background strip beautifully, and it's such a great card design with the cut out pattern over the background strip. I'm definitely taking more time these days looking at each plant as it starts blooming - it's so good for my spirit.
Lots of blooming here & it does raise my spirits, as does your beautiful springy card, Bonnie!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL Bonnie! Love everything about this CAS card from the lovely violets, the peek a boo cut out with the lovely background, and the wonderful sentiment! Lovely, lovely card!! :0)
Your coloring of the florals is stunning!
This is so lovely, Bonnie. I love those sweet violets.
Wow ....what a beautiful and pretty card. Those adorable violas are stunning Bonnie x.
Well this is my card :-) The different purple intensity of these blooms make them look real. This card is so balanced and has a classic touch. Love the whole composition, a beauty! xx
What pretty violet violas, Bonnie! I love the lovely paper towel smooshed background peeking out through the elegant window! I can feel your love of flowers from this card. :-)

I'm stunned by this card, Bonnie. I love this background banner die, and the colors you transferred from the paper towel under it are amazing. They harmonize so beautifully with wonderful violets. This card is divine
