Just sat down with my morning coffee and clicked on to your blog...and was reminded it is St. Pat's Day! LOVE your 3 cards...each one so different...your design skills continue to amaze me and I guess that is why I "borrow" many of your ideas and looks. My fave this time is the 2nd card..probably because of that dear whittle birdie. Enjoy the day, my friend.
Great inspiration on these Beautiful cards Bonnie.

Gorgeous cards Bonnie ...

I love the pretty leaf design on all three Bonnie in first and second generation stamping, and the die cut black leaves with the pretty gold pearls and gold twine looks wonderful on the first and the sweet bird over the green embossed background, and then the ornate sentiment plate with a shadow layer in the same pretty green on the last are both brilliant designs and very elegant looks too. x
Three super creations, love the leaf stamp and the lovely shades of green, lovely dies too. Thank you for joining our 'Stamped Image' challenge at Allsorts.

I love seeing all these different looks from the same stamp.. You are so creative!
I've never seen green look so beautiful! You've really inspired me:)
Three beautiful cards using the wonderful leaf's and all fabulous Bonnie x.
All three amazing, Bonnie! I love your beautiful leafy branches- perfect for all over stamping! I feel as if I'm laying under those branches - or it could be 'shot 2!'
I can't wait to see which one is in our IB gallery! Thanks so much for playing!

Happy belated St. Patty's Day Bonnie! I am loving all three of your cards. I am loving those leaves you have stamped and die cut. Such beautiful cards. Hugs, Brenda
You never disappoint, Bonnie. All three are wonderful cards-so much so that I immediately went hunting for supplies you used. That little bird looking up just grabbed me as well as your selected stamps and dies. All are so beautifully designed.
Beautiful cards Bonnie. Love the stamped backgrounds with generational stamping. Thanks for sharing the birthday card with us at Seize the Birthday.
You're right Bonnie. This PB stamp is beautiful and so versatile. Thanks to him, you made 3 different cards, each completely different, for a different occasion. WOW! A beautiful set of cards!

What wonderful shades of green in all three cards! A perfect post for St. Patrick's Day. Love the leafy background with the die cut on top for the first card. The multi-generational stamping in the third one is really lovely.
That is an amazing leaf stamp and I love all 3 of these creations, but I think I would pick the second as my favourite. The addition of the bird and the dry embossing make it stand out xx
Goodness these are so beautiful, too hard to pick a favorite, each one feels so uplifting and beautiful! Thank you for inspiring us @ IB this week!
Now why couldn't I think of something like this for Saint Patrick's Day -- well I guess that is why they pay you the big bucks!!
I do like this idea of the green background.

Fabulous cards!
Thank you for sharing at Allsorts;-))m
Three beautiful cards using the leafy branch, Bonnie! Each one is so creative. I especially love the second card with the green framing with score lines. Might need to add that to my wish list! :) Looks like you had a fun day making these cards! xx
Wonderful cards... I love that little birdie looking up at those pretty leaves
Fabulous green trio of pretty leaves, Bonnie! Love the wonderful design variation, and the shade of Garden Green!

Beautiful birthday threefors. The leaf image was perfect for the green challenges.
Lovely cards, and perfect use of the stamp. While all wonderful, the simplicity of card #3, then it's stunning die is beautiful!
Oh, such pretty cards! I'm a nut for green. Love the single strand of gold across the first card, and how you added the bird to the second. Beautiful die on the third. I have some old dies similar that haven't seen the light of day for quite a while. You inspire me to want to pull them out. Maybe I'll do that... when time allows. Hugs!
A really beautiful array of cards Bonnie - especially the bird one (but you knew I'd say that!) Loving the shades of green with the touches of gold. Vicky x
Beautiful cards. Green is such a peaceful colour and that Floral Silhouette stamp is perfect with a whimsical appeal. You have given it honours and motivation to buy this stamp. I love the repeat of the twig on the first one, the zenitude of that bird on a branch and, finally, the elegance of the fancy label. Cheers to you dear friend.
I've been working a lot lately. We've finally received a steady flow of vaccines. Doing the +65. Tired but relieved that we're slowly seeing the light. Can't wait to get us ALL inoculated. All is well. Warm hugs xxx
Wow, three great designs with the same stamp. The leafy look is so pretty, Bonnie and all three cards are delightful.
