It's time for a new challenge at
This month we're doing Mixed Media and my dear and very talented
friend Joanna is hosting....
I used my die to cut and to emboss.
Can you see the embossed image behind the watercolored die cuts?
I also used a die to emboss a frame.
I used Brushos sprinkled in my palette and watered to
color the die cut flowers! Love the rich colors!
For the sentiment I stamped and heat embossed on a snippet of
watercolor paper then watercolored in the dark green.
So my mixed media are: Embossing with Die, Die Cutting, Watercoloring, Stamping
and Heat Embossing.
Our fabulous Design Team has some wonderful inspiration for you
and we're joined this month by Mac as our awesome Guest Designer.
I hope you'll check them out and join us at

Beautiful card Bonnie. The PB dies are gorgeous and the colours are perfect! xx
That shadow effect from the embossing really helps add dimension and gives the image a fullness, very clever. love those colours too xx
Isn't it fabulous to stretch our dies even further Bonnie? Your card is absolutely beautiful and made me smile x.
Brilliant use of die for cutting and stamping. I also love the bright, vibrant colors of your flowers. The card is amazing

Not only is this beautiful, but it's a clever sample for the challenge. I love all the color!
Wow - the color on those flowers really pops, Bonnie!! Love the use of dies to emboss too - such a fun technique!!
What beautifully coloured die cut poppies Bonnie, and love the impression of the die in the background, and also an embossed frame around it too, as well as a die cut one for it to sit on. A stunning card and a great technique from Joanna this time. x
Great idea to include the same die-cut as the embossing! A very elegant card!
Love your take on the challenge Bonnie, a beautiful Birthday card.
Gorgeous die cut poppies so beautifully watercolored with Brushos, Bonnie. Loved your green sentiment and die cut frame too. Your embossing with your die background added a wonderful subtle texture to your die cut flowers. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy
Gorgeous card Bonnie! I LOVE those bright and bold poppies. So pretty with the added dimension of the dry embossed images in the background. And so cool that you also dry embossed the stitched frame --- I would never have thought to do that! :) xx
The brushos coloring on the flower is so vibrant and using brushos to color the image instead of a background is an interesting touch. Like the embossed stitched rectangle die around the image panel...cool idea. Also like the sentiment banner embossed in white and watercolored with that rich, striking green.
I love to see a frame die embossed on a card panel, Bonnie... a sure way to draw one's attention to the star of the show! In this case, those poppies are too pretty to miss! Gorgeous!

Love your embossed background with the same dies for the pretty flowers. Beautiful card.
What a fun challenge and I love how you offset the embossed die... Beautiful card!
Precious and elegant. I fell in love with this stunner the moment you added it on the blog. The die embossing is so brilliantly repeated with the radiant die cut blooms. I love the the contrast against the white making the die embossing even more spectacular and the die cuts the center piece. The Happy Birthday strip ground these beauties, love every detail my friend. xx
Love the embossed background, the vibrant flowers and your card Bonnie.

Your posies are gorgeous, Bonnie! I love the bold colors from your Brushos and really love how you embossed behind each bloom and leaf...very clever! Great idea to watercolor your sentiment strip, too...I need to try that sometime :) Barb xx
Bold, bright and beautiful, Bonnie. Pops against the subtle embossed background perfectly.
Terrific! Love the offset dry embossing of the flowers, it really draws your eye into the details
All this is new to me but wow, I need to try this. The poppies are so vibrant and that is a pretty embossed look behind them.
I am not sure how you did this but I do find your card stunning. Why can't I live near you so I could take lessons!!

Bonnie, I love the subtle die cut embossing on your background the total wow factor :)
Well you had me with the poppy and that wonderful colouring you achieved with your brusho powder. Love how the die cut echos the embossed image or to put it another way, Love this card. x
what a lovely design Bonnie - with the embossed poppies behind your vibrant red ones! A beautiful card using this fun technique!xx
Beautiful card. Love the intense colour, and the embossing in the background looks like it's a shadow ..... so pretty! xx
Great technique and wonderfully executed, Bonnie.
Love this beautiful card Bonnie! I too love the rich colors you got with your watercoloring. I can indeed see the embossing with your die, so cool looking behind the die cut/watercolor. Love the double lines of stitching too, one embossed, one die cut. You got a lot of mixed media on this beautiful card! Hugs, Brenda
What a pretty flower card, Bonnie! Love the bright red and dark green popped up on the white card base. It's so clever of you not to align the die to the flowers. The embossed lines show much better.
