Hello there. I'm so glad you took the time to stop by!
I hope all of you continue to be safe. I think we may need to be even more
careful now that countries are starting to open back up.
The flowers are opening up too. I hope you are seeing signs of them
where you live. I think the weather is a bit crazy all over, not just here.
The flowers are confused about whether it's Spring or Winter.
This card has a watercolor die cut flower and the one in the window
was inked with markers.
Challenges:
Double D: Lavenders, Lilac, Purples

ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful aperture card Bonnie, and I love the pretty flowers in the aperture and the beautifully coloured die cut sprig of lavender on the outside too and in such fantastic purple tones, one of my favourite colours. x
ReplyDeleteI love this Bonnie - it's soft and delicate and simply beautiful. xx

This is so delicate and very pretty and I love it! xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and watercoloring. Love the design with flowers inside and outside the frame.
ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVE this precious beauty. You brought spring into my day. It is so cold here too, worried that my perennials will freeze. The two secondary colours just go magically together, wow, wow and wow. xx
ReplyDeleteBonnie this card is so pretty and fresh - the purple, green and white - a lovely colour combination - I love that long stalk of lavender outside the frame too, gorgeous.... hugs and stay safe Robyn
ReplyDeleteOh Bonnie this is gorgeous - I love lavender so I am swooning over it...
ReplyDeleteWe are now down to level 2 (4 being total lockdown), and I must admit I am in no great hurry to be out and about - apart from a haircut :)
Stay safe
Blessings

So simple, yet so beautiful. Love this design.
ReplyDeleteI'm confused about whether it's winter or spring, but that's probably just New England for ya lol Beautiful creation! Love that sweet little sprig of lavender, so pretty as is your stamped/water colored image! Thanks so much for playing along with us at The Double D, Lavender, Lilac and Purple Challenge, Donna DT Member.

Ohhh pretty! I just adore the contrast between the die cut and the stamped but both water colored!
ReplyDeleteI love that watercolored sprig outside the window, Bonnie. Salvia would you say?
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely. The purple sprig is gorgeous and the soft flowers inside the frame look awesome. Great design and the subtle e/f adds more texture to the frame.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and so delicate looking - bravo!

Yes, we need to be even more careful now that things are opening up all over the world. The disease control doctor said that we will be living with the virus for quite a long time because of travel. Not what I wanted to hear, but it is what it is and we need to use common sense about it all. Your card is just stunning Bonnie! I love those stamps you used. And your colors choices are just beautiful. Yes, the weather has been crazy and the flowers haven't a clue whether it is spring or winter. Hopefully we can soon move past that into spring again and enjoy it before the heat comes. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh what you did with that Tim Holtz die is just incredible! I had the dies and stamps and was miffed when the dies did not fit the stamps. I would have never done anything as nice as you did and how perfect over the water color image. This is just super, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful flowers inside and outside of your die cut window, Bonnie. Love your colors and how you followed both challenges perfectly. Love your Subtle dry embossed card base too:-) Stay safe and Creative, my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteLOVE your card, this is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing with us @ Inspired By this week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful combination of the watercoloured flower and the one coloured with markers. Great layout too.
ReplyDeleteOhhh this is so pretty Bonnie and love the contrast with the beautiful die cut and the stamping x.
ReplyDeleteBon, this grabs my heart strings! One would never know that is not a real piece of lavender on this stunning card! My new favorite of yours, so perfect for spring ~ which we are in whether Mother Weather agrees or not! Take care and continue to keep safe. Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeletelove, love.
