Welcome Spring.....or where I'm at, maybe Summer (it was 87 today), I think most of us are well ready for it's arrival. This week on Bloggers Challenge it's Spring Flowers, and I have such an exciting piece to share. It's not too often that I get really excited about a new stamp, but I just received this Iris set from my BFF for my Birthday, and oh my gosh, are these beautiful! Stamps and dies are from the new release at Heartfelt Creations.
My piece measure 8 x 5, and is suitable for hanging or a frame. It's for a great friend, I hope she likes it, it is really hard to give up the first piece you make, and luv! lol I made the bg paper from a piece of Basic Grey, and cut the vase from another sheet. Here's a close up so you can see the depth,

Gorgeous card, Gerrie! Purple Irises are on of my favorite flowers--we had so many in St. Louis. Hey it was great to "see" you last weekend!! You know you made my day!
Gorgeous! I'm so glad you showed a close-up so we could see the wonderful dimension of this piece of art work. I bet your friend loves it.

Very pretty! Such a nice deep color and shading!
This is GORGEOUS Gerrie! Your iris is so very pretty! Wonderful design! Hope you enjoyed your weekend! :D
Oh Wow, Gerrie! That is absolutely stunning! The shapes and the coloring---OH, Wow! I love irises...the depth of the purples and the bright yellow. They were, along with pansies, why we used bold purple and bright yellow for our wedding colors! You should see our wedding album, if I ever finish it...we were only married in 1999! All purple and yellow.
And, my flowers...many different purple and yellow flowers...I loved the irises in it. A friend each brought one flower from a list...and my GF put a ribbon on the bottom with their name, and it became a bouquet that you hold in the crook of your arm. It was so beautiful...and it hid my stomach for almost he whole ceremony! lol
I am sure your friend will be thrilled to receive such a beautiful gift personally made.
You are a great friend, too, you know. Just want to make sure you remember that!

WOW! This is amazing! I love irises and have a lot in my yard that are exactly like this (if Spring weather ever arrives, they'll actually pop up!). Beautiful card.
