Again I used that lovely sketch from the MMSC80 by Priscilla!
A friend of mine dropped by and saw the card I made for Evelyn and just loved it, so I decided to make her this birthday card for next year with irises. I usually don't let "civilians" see what I am working on, because then I have to remember who has seen what.... My non-stamping friends just get to see the card they receive. Except in the case of large families, then they all see each others. Makes my job more difficult as I try not to send anyone a card that they might have seen #except Christmas#!! Sounds confusing??? Well it is, but that is just the way I roll......
By the way in real life the flowers and image match much better....I promise!!
This may be my last iris this week or maybe not..... time will tell. Stay tuned....

LOL...that's a problem, yes, but not a terrible one! I wish I could be more diligent and jot down who gets what card, as I can never remember when someone talks about what I sent last Christmas, etc. I have to ask them to describe it, then try to guess which one they mean! Actually, it can be fun deciphering civilian descriptions.
This card is another stunning beauty! Love a ll the textures, the colors, the layers and that lovely spray of flowers! Whoever is lucky enough to receive this one is, well, lucky enough!!!

This is gorgeous! Love all your embossed layers & your irises are stunning.
My card recipient list is large & I solved the problem of "who got what card" by scanning each card I make into my computer. I have folders for each month & year & just pop the scanned image into the appropriate folder. This is great as I often make cards in advance but forget who I made them for. Here they are all in a folder & I can easily see who got what or which card in my stash is meant for who.

Well just look at you go, girl! Getting yourself into all kinds of challenges are you? Dont you just love the TP's? Your card is super fine and elegant at the same time. Love where you placed your glitter on the iris. Pretty fancy schmancy Penny Anne.
