I love irises and I'm looking forward to seeing them bloom soon.
In the meantime, I'll have to do with the paper kind.
This iris was die cut with a Penny Black die
from Whisper White cardstock.
I sponged on some color and used a marker to add some little squiggles.
QACAS (Quick and Clean and Simple) as Darnell would say.
Since I've used some snippets, on off to
One of my favorite places to play.
and
I see that I won a Favourite Award for last month's challenge there
with this card.
What an honor. There were a LOT of awesome entries!
I'm so glad you stopped by.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful bloom and lovely organic squiggles that creat nice dimension!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful iris, Bonnie, and it's on some of your wonderful embossing.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Bonnie! It would fit with the Paper Players this week too...they only allow 3 challenges, so you would still qualify! I could use some irises myself...it's cold and blustery here today!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty iris Bonnie, Cathy x

ReplyDeleteOne of my fav SU EF's, and beautiful with the spring Iris. I'm always tickled when I see you use a product that I can say "Oh I have that one!". This die is a nbus - and must use it - now that you've inspired me - yet again! TFS & Hugs.
ReplyDeleteGreat card!
ReplyDeleteThis is my fave type of iris. They make such beautiful cut flowers. I used to have a huge plant at my old house...will have to go an a little shopping trip for some for this house too!
This card and your feather card are just so very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteYour coloring is so realistic, Bonnie! I'm always telling my "students" that nothing in nature is a solid color, so your extra touches of lines and shading are just right. That's a nice simple iris stamp to work with.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Love your sponged iris.
ReplyDeletePretty!
ReplyDeleteWow Bonnie, this is absolutely beautiful- and the iris is just perfection!! You used one of my most loved embossing folders (and am sure it was on your blog I first saw it!).
ReplyDeleteAm so glad you love it in the Playground, we love having you along to play!
Hugs

So beautiful!
