I was inspire by this pretty iris from today's inspiration site. I'm sitting in the stands of my son's last swim meet feeling emotional with pride for his stick-to-it've attitude. It hasn't been eady for him so I am glad he kept at it. I quickly tore a dictionary page that had an iris illustration. I used a Qtip dipped in Versamark to the illustration and then added the pastels. I used a few things that I had already sitting out and threw it all into my bag. Then I glued it all down sitting here like a sardine squished in the stands.

Now here is one of the few cards in this gallery that could go to a guy as well as a gal! Love your tilted panels and muted colours. Congrats to your son and to you too! :-)
