This is a triple duty card; it's for three challenges. It's for this week's color challenge and Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge. And since that flower seemed to be so butterfly worthy, I couldn't resist making another for the Teapot Tuesday challenge. Hopefully finding an iris blooming in the fall will be enough to entice Turbo and Tucker to return home and settle down. It seems to be working already as it has attracted a couple of butterflies.
The image is stamped on Vellum and then I colored the back side of it with SU markers and blender pens.
Today is very exciting for me because the Destination Station for this week's Teapot Tuesday challenge is my mom's house! First thing this morning I gave her the first card I made for this challenge, it was such fun to surprise her with this little treat. Thanks to all of you who are playing along and bringing my mom so many well wishes!

OMG... this is absolutely gorgeous! LOVE the iris! It's colored beautifully... so real looking! I'll have to try the stamping on vellum... it's a lovely technique.

My Mom has also struggled with health issues for a long time, and the time she has received even one or two cards she has been so tickled!! So bless you for doing this for your Mom, I hope she is showered with joy overflowing!!
This is so lovely, the layout is perfect with your flower!!
