This week's Alpha Challenge is the letter I. I saw a picture of an iris online, and I love purple, so I chose this image to print onto parchment paper from my vintage stationary stash. The iris has many meanings, I listed five of them on the parchment. Swirls of gems and a purple butterfly finished the card. TFL

Nice! The iris is beautiful. I didn't know the iris represented so many things. Love the insect (butterfly), too. The swirls of rhinestones add interest and a lovely, feminine touch. The corners are excellent. Well done. TFS

Purple irises are favorite flowers of my sister-in-law. This is such a marvelous card, brilliantly done Kandie! I didn't know irises had so many meanings.

My purple iris's have bloomed and gone. I, too love purple flowers so now I am enjoying a different variety but don't know the name. You've decorated your card Beautifully, Kandie! Love the parchment paper~

Wow! I am so impressed (another I word) that you printed this iris image onto parchment paper because I would never have thought to do this before. I gems and butterfly are gorgeous and the sentiment has such meaning to it. ~Karen.
