Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I am so excited to be Guest Designing for Color Hues today.
The colors are perfect for Spring cards...Lilac & Mint.
I'm still trying to get through my UFO boxes and the iris image was on a
calendar page last year. I had several versions in the box as well as two calendar pages.
I was in the process of trying to think what to do with them for my Craft Group
swaps this month and had an aha moment that these were the colors I needed for
the Color Hues Challenge.
I ended up die cutting another stencil from cardstock to add a couple more
backgrounds to be enough for the whole group. After doing some other embossing and
die cutting for all the cards, I decided to die cut some more irises to add some
extra dimension.
I took this one out for Color Hues. Here are the rest for the group.
Now to come up with a project for everyone to do.
Let's go see what that fabulous Design Team at Color Hues has done to
inspire our creativity!

Wow, this is stunningly realistic! And proof that spring WILL be here soon!
Gorgeous!
Congrats on guesting, Bonnie. Your iris are gorgeous and perfect in the colors. It reminded me that I bought a new iris from PTI a while back and haven't used it. I'll be making a card for the challenge with it.
I LOVE iris's and these are so gorgeous Bonnie. Your class is so lucky to have to teach them how to make these! Great work with the challenge colours and congrats on being GD at Color Hues! xx
A very pretty colour combination for Color Hues and congratulations on being Guest Designer there this time. The die cut irises are beautifully coloured and love the shape of the mat you use and a pretty lilac embossed background card and coordinating sentiment..a wonderful card Bonnie. x
Irises are one of my favourite flowers - you coloured these ones perfectly! Love the framing.
I do love irises and these stand out from the crowd. They look fabulous in lilac xx
Bonnie what a beautiful collection of cards. My mom always had Irises in our yard growing up, so pretty. I tried growing them where I lives but it a bit too cold. Thank you so much for being our guest at the Color Hues this challenge!
Your coloring just blew me away on those irises. It's just gorgeous! The blending is perfectly done. Love the layout too, beautifully framed! I sure wish I could take one of your classes after seeing some of the magnificent cards you design for them.
Yay, congrats on guesting, Bonnie! Your cards are all lovely. What a fabulous iris that is!
Love your Iris die Bonnie and your coloring is so realistic...on ALL of them! Loving all the CAS layouts for this card too...each card is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! I have purple Iris's on the side of our house that were given to me when I first got married by Chris's grandma and they still bloom every year, and that was almost 37 years, plus however long she had them. Thanks for reminding what I have to look forward to this Spring/Summer!! And thanks so much for Guest Designing with us for this challenge too...your cards are always inspirational!! Hugs. :0)
Bonnie, I'm echoing the others: your irises are absolutely gorgeous! They're perfect for the colour combination; perfect for your group. Thrilled to have you as our Guest Designer!
