Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
It's time for a new challenge at Color Hues.
This month my super talented friend Karen picked our colors. She chose....
My thoughts went to St. Patrick's Day that is coming up. I'm not Irish, but
I love the Irish Blessings and shamrocks. This die set didn't include a four leaf clover,
but I have a dogwood die that worked just fine to bring a little luck to this card.
I did another while I was at it....
More green on this one.
Now let's go and see what my talented friends and our
fantastic Guest Designers Darnell & Donna have done to inspire you.
I hope you'll create a card using Green and Gold and add it to the gallery at

Your sweet and thoughtful comments warm my heart!
Two awesome SPD cards! I love them both, and really love that you came up with your own 4-leaf clover for the second card. Plus, I totally agree with the interest in the sayings
ReplyDeleteMay the luck of the Irish be with you even if you're not Irish, Bonnie. I love the blessings and the way you decorated the cards to show them off.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day, right? I love your gorgeous use of these colors, Bonnie! Such a wonderful Irish blessings and darling Shamrocks!
ReplyDeleteThese are so gorgeous, Bon! That first one looks ready to hang on the wall! I love them both and love the wonderful Irish blessings! They always make me smile. Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeleteWonderful blessing cards. Both the colors and the wishes do the job perfectly. Irish wishes... straight from the heart, for you and your family too, my dear Bonnie.

Love that Irish Blessing on your lovely card with the shamrocks and embossed background. The 2nd card is pretty also. Both cards are perfect with these colors. Have a great week.

Love the blessings and love the shamrocks! Two marvelous makes, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteYou do gold and green so well, Bonnie! Two absolutely beautiful cards. I'll have to take another look at my dogwood die. I soooo wanted the Into the Blooms: Clover after seeing you use it, but sold out at SSS. I'll persevere.
ReplyDeleteBonnie both of your cards are fabulous. I also love that Irish blessing, I'm Irish by marriage. The PTI die is so pretty and I may have to bring that one home! Two lovely, lovely cards!!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards using green and gold. Love the Irish blessings on each card. When I saw the Color Hues colors, I didn't think of St. Patrick's Day - I thought of Christmas!
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous sentiments Bonnie and two great cards too. I can picture the first framed and hanging on a wall! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! Love the Irish blessings! Those sweet, sweet shamrocks look magnificent, great improvise! Happy March!
ReplyDeleteWonderful classic st. paddy’s day cards. Love this colour pairing.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these cards are FABULOUS Bonnie! I love the water colored clover on both cards, the textured backgrounds and definitely the wonderful sentiments on both! You sure nailed this challenge my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteThe clovers and shamrock are colored so realistically, I love that! Both are such pretty cards, Bonnie. I agree with Michele, everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day and it's a fun time to celebrate because we're on the verge of Spring. The sentiments on both cards are wonderful as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally smitten with those shamrocks in a pocket, with a verse on top, no less! They look so realistic--like you plucked them and tucked them in yourself!
ReplyDeleteI totally love these cards, Bonnie. The way you tucked the shamrocks in card two was very clever. Both of the verses are fabulous too. I wish you that very luck and happiness this year.l
ReplyDeleteThese two St. Patrick's Day cards are among the most beautiful I've ever seen, Bonnie! The shamrocks in the first card are so beautiful. They appear to have a wonderful sheen to them, and I love that Irish blessing. Your pocket with the gold stitching was a great place to tuck the shamrocks in the second card--and another wonderful Irish blessing! Tracy may get a shamrock birthday card next year with all this inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI'm smitten with both your works of art, Bonnie! Your sentiments, clovers and overall design styles make for gorgeous St. Patrick Day cards.

Such beautiful cards as always, Bonnie! Your designs are so pretty, and I love the blessings. Went to look her up, thank you for the inspiration!
