This is a beautiful card Bonnie! I love how the frame frames off your beautiful images/prints. The eucalyptus die is fabulous, so love that die. Going to try my hand at this technique today, I'm sure I won't get the beautiful results that you do though, so no one may never see it! lol Hugs, Brenda

Love the way the die cut prints turned out - such a soft pretty background. Beautiful framing and layout too.

Beautiful background print, Bonnie. This technique you perform produces stunning results. This bouquet of flowers delicately repeated in the background makes the card complete.

Such beautiful daisies and eucalyptus leaves Bonnie and a such a pretty frame around them, and the soft print looks terrific in the background, and love the simple stamped sentiment. x

Christine Alexander said...

Bonnie, you are the master of colouring die cuts and now adding the stamping with the die cut is the perfect twist ♥

That is a beautiful card! The frame shape is not one that I go to but your card has me changing my mind about it! Just a lovely card, as is your water coloring.

You ARE the Queen of print making, Bonnie! Love the shades of pink and green, and the beautiful and subtle print in the background. The choice of the elegant frame is perfect! I'm joining this fun challenge this weekend!

Trina P. said...

You have mastered this technique. Beautiful card and print making. Love the Elegant die frame... in fact, I loved seeing them on your cards so much that I actually bought it! 🤗

Jo said...

This is special, what a beautiful blend of iris and eucalyptus over that pastel background. A simple frame adds so much. Truly lovely! xxx

Brenda in IN said...

So soft and pretty. I love that eucalyptus die and this is such a great way to make a lovely background for the card.

Bobby said...

I love when you show off your die cut print making, Bonnie. This one is especially lovely but I'm bummed you don't know where the eucalyptus die is from.

Dee said...

Hi Bonnie,

This is a lovely card, have you got written instructions anywhere for the soft background? e.g. Is it done with the negatives of the die cuts and just very lightly sponged?
