Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I've used this pretty Memory Box Die again.
This time I popped it on a piece of embossing and framed it.
It's a softer lilac color but the camera says differently.
and...
I colored it again with DOX inks and slipped it into an egg shaped aperture in
honor of Easter.
The background for the egg is a mop up piece from Gansai Watercolor. The
script was done by dipping the stamp in the wet color and stamping on
the mop up.

What a stunning pair of cards! I just love how you framed the florals and the egg-shaped window is perfect for an Easter card! Beautiful!
These are both absolutely BEAUTIFUL Bonnie and just goes to show that monochromatic cards can be as colorful as those using lots of different colors!! Loving all the texture you added to both too. Lovely, lovely cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Two beautiful cards with the different designs. Love the rich purple colors. TFS
Soooo beautiful! You're on a roll! I can't pick a favorite as I love both so much!
The purple looks so dark and beautiful on my monitor and I love that color on the flowers. The MB Gracious Leaves e/f is lovely. Using the egg as a background for the flower is awesome. What a great idea for an Easter card.
Both are so very Beautiful Bonnie, love that violet colour.

Gorgeous colours beautifully enhanced by the embossing on both cards xx
Love both of these Bonnie , they are truly beautiful! xx
Fabulous card Bonnie
Hugs Sylvie xx
Both cards are just gorgeous in those wonderful Easter colors! I never thought to dip a script stamp in the soupy mess on the mat. That was brilliant and what a great effect. Love that background as well as the die cut on the embossed card stock. As always, I just love your layout!
Two stunning cards Bonnie and I especially love the first with that beautiful 3D embossing in the background with the pretty purple coloured flowers and love the purple frame with a stitched one over the top...so elegant! The second with the more pretty flowers and the egg shaped aperture cut and embossed is terrific too, and the mop up inky background with the inky script looks great. x
Oh wow for both cards what ever the true color might be. I love what I am seeing here!!

What a gorgeous pair of cards, Bonnie. I love the watercolour die cuts over that beautiful embossed background and the soft watery background on the second card is so pretty too.
Two beautiful cards, Bonnie! Love the violet colours and the gorgeous flower die. Might have to look for it - and the wonderful embossing folder you used on the first card.
Both as pretty as can be, Bonnie! I love not wasting that gorgeous ink - that dipped sentiment makes for a gorgeous background!
LOve the embossing - especially that lovely number on the first card - wow!

Two beautiful and elegant cards Bonnie! LOVE these flowers in deep purple. Great background and framing on both cards. xx
Both are beautiful Bonnie. Great textures from the backgrounds and I love the deep purple on those pretty flowers x. Stunners both of them x.
Wow! These are gorgeous! Love both backgrounds. The mop up background is full of movement and looks awesome.
Oh my...Love both your gorgeous MB die cut and watercolored flowers used for both your beautiful cards. Stunning framing on your 1st card along with the beautiful dry eb background, Bonnie. Love your egg shaped die cut window with the watercolored background for you die cut flowers on your 2nd card. Two beauties, my friend. TFS Love and Hugs..and Happy Easter. Nancy
The flowers are beautiful, Bonnie, but it's your choice of embossing folders that really make your cards stand out.
Love the colors and oh my, the framing is outstanding. I feel CASEing coming on. Thanks.
Beautiful composition. The addition of an embossed background made the card more beautiful. I also love the color combination of flowers and the frame. Lovely first card. The second card is just as beautiful, I love the fabulously colorful background tinged with die printing technique. You are a true master at this technique, Bonnie

Two beautiful cards -- I really love each of them, just so pretty
Both cards are fabulous, Bonnie! The lilac flowers are so pretty! The embossing in the background, and the well-thought-out frame showcase the lovely flowers of the first card.
The mop-up technique worked so well for the background of the second card. Love the shade of lilac! The egg-shaped window is wonderful for the Easter. Happy Easter, my dear friend!
