Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I wasn't too sure about this color combinations, but I LOVE it!
Thank you Amy for challenging us to use these colors!
To color my die cut flower, I smooshed some Distress Ink on a palette and picked up
color with a waterbrush. I built up color until I was happy with it and set it aside
to let it dry.
My background piece is Tempting Turquoise. (The camera makes it look more blue,
but it is turquoise.
The layered die cut background is from a new die set by Emily Moore Designs.
I've got to say that I am loving this set of dies!
The itty, bitty gems were a thrift shop find.
Challenges:
Color Throwdown #834 - Green, Turquoise, & Orange
Just Us Girls #778 - Layered Die Cuts

Bonnie, I love your new die set and it is just the ticket for your lovely yellow Alstroemeria - beautifully painted btw!
I'm seeing turquoise just fine - and a fun photo inspiration from Amy's son. I better go in for a closeup!

I love it too. You used the colors perfectly with your beautiful card. I love those background dies and your pretty Alstroemeria bloom.
Beautiful card -- GORGEOUS COLORS!!!

I have always loved when you use that flower, Bonnie. The rich color is beautiful and the background dies are fabulous. I've seen Emily on Facebook but never went to the store. Looks like I'm missing out on something. ; )
I struggle with the orange colour, but it doesn’t look like you do. Fabulous card!
Great use of the colors, Bon! I love that sweet watercolored flower on her lacey blanket! And I drool over turquoise and teal any day of the week! Hugs, Dolly
That single yellow bloom is gorgeous and the font on the sentiment is perfect with it! Wonderful layers too with your new dies. Thanks for sharing this with us at Just Us Girls!
This is beautiful. It is funny how unexpected colours can really work together. The turquoise background really helps the flower pop. Love the layered die cuts too xx
Wonderful combination of colors, Bonnie. Your design perfectly highlights each color. I love your alstroemeria, it looks fantastic. Great card, my friend.
hugs,

You proved beautifully that you can use the colors together! Your flower is stunning and the frame dies look wonderful
Simply Beautiful Color Combinations for your Beautiful Alstroemeria Card, Bonnie. Thank you so much for sharing. Love and Hugs, Nancy
This is a wonderful combination of colours Bonnie and I love the pretty orange flower on the double layered ornate mat over the turquoise card base, and a really lovely font for the birthday sentiment. x
A lovely card with colors I would have never thought of using together. I need to go visit Color Throwdown for inspiration. I love that frame set from Emily Moore too. This is a new place to me. Thanks for sharing your beautiful card and these special places to see.
This is exactly the color of the alstromeria in my back yard. You've made it look so real! Love the very feminine layers. You rocked this color combo, Bonnie!
Your Alstromeria is absolutely beautiful Bonnie and the water coloring perfection! I love your new dies for the 2 layers of white in the background too...soooo pretty! And the turquoise really makes it all POP! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Beautiful CAS card Bonnie. Love the layered diee and gorgeous bright flower. Thanks for again supporting us at JUGS. Alway a pleasure to see your talents.
Oh my gosh, this is lovely. the smooshing technique was perfect for that lovely Peruvian lily (I couldn't spell Alast...)
Absolutely beautiful, Bonnie!
