Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Time for another challenge at Color Hues.
This time the super talented Karen chose the colors.
I just so happened to have a NBUS die that worked great for these colors.
I die cut the irises from mixed media paper and watercolored by smooshing ink
on a palette and picking up the color with a waterbrush.
To add the same colors on the background, I laid the die cuts on another piece
of mixed media paper and colored outside the die cuts a bit.
Our amazing teammates are sure to inspire you with their fantastic
creations and we are joined this month by the equally talented Rachel.
I hope you'll check us out and join in at Color Hues.
This challenge ends May 29th at 9:00 AM EDT.

Your irises are lovely; you really do wonders with watercolour. This card should be framed!

Those iris do work beautifully for the colors, Bonnie, and your watercoloring makes them appear translucent just like real iris. Beautiful card, my friend!!!
I've been thinking about buying this die and haven't done so yet. Until now, because when I saw your card I knew I had to have it! Stunning card and such an amazing use of the challenge colors. Thank you for such great inspiration.
hugs,

These irises are soooo pretty growing up the front of your card! I love the pierced background and the way you used the die to guide your background color. That's a very cute little label die, too!
Those irises are so pretty in the pink and plum. Love how you did the background with the die cuts and the same inks, so pretty.
Beautiful take on the challenge.
The irises are beautiful in pink and plum Bonnie, and the transfer of colour from the die cut onto the background works brilliantly and I love the pierced diamond design of the cover plate die you used over it, and a lovely sentiment strip to finish. x
Hello, Bonnie! I JUST got power back after the big storm last night! This was the first message I opened! Such a beautiful card and very pretty colors for those Irises, my friend!

Beautiful irises, especially with these colours, Bonnie! Lovely card, my friend. xx
Ohhhhh, aren't they pretty! This is so delicate and feminine. Beautifully done, Bonnie!
Simply Beautiful Irises for your pretty card, Bonnie:-) TFS and Happy Spring:-) Love and Hugs, Nancy
Love iris and yours are such a pretty take on the colours. The cover die you've used is the perfect backdrop, softened with the watercolour. :)
One word--STUNNING!
OH! SO very pretty. x
I can't imagine how many flower dies you have, Bonnie.😆 It seems like a lot but perhaps I do too. It is hard to judge when you don't use them all the time. LOL Such a beautiful card.
The challenge colors look like they were made for those Iris's Bonnie and look fabulous! Your water colored and pierced background are such a perfect backdrop for those lovely, lovely blooms too!! You definitely nailed this challenge my friend!! Hugs. :0)
The smooshing technique worked well for coloring your irises. Pink and plum never looked so good! Since you and Michele F shared these blooms, I may have to look into them as well!
I'm quite sure I've never seen more beautiful "smooshed coloring" than what you've achieved with the stunning iris. These dies are going on my wish list for sure. I love the soft, feminine look of your card! Thanks for making Pink and Plum look like one fabulous color combo!
Warning - don't make the mistake of drinking wine while looking at this card. I did and I thought the flowers were dancing!! Well they are dancing aren't they Bonnie?

More beautiful irises! Love the way you coloured them and added a bit of matching colour on the background!
Bonnie, I love these die cut iris too and they look wonderful in our challenge colors! Your watercoloring is so beautiful with the smooshing plus the loose coloring behind the flowers. Beautiful card!
Bonnie your card is stunning, I alsolutely love how you watercolour and adding the smooshing--awesome Those flowers are so pretty!
