Spring is coming! While we have had a few snow flurry days, today it's an almost spring rain - and that gives me hope! I am just not a winter person, and I love the smell of spring.
This beautiful iris is part of the new March release at Stamp Simply.
I stamped the iris with VersaFine Onyx Black ink, and then embossed it with clear embossing powder. I colored in with a variety of alcohol marker colors. The sentiment was stamped on white cardstock, and then die cut using the Spellbinders Hemstitch Circle. I chose two papers from the Bloom & Wild 6x6 paper pad, and layered it all with a vellum fishtail die on top. I popped up the irises and sentiment circle with foam tape, and added Lilac Rhinestones for embellishments.
Thank you for looking!

Ok ok - just, WOW! I usually struggle to use my patterned paper when I want to incorporate it as no matter what I do it either looks too busy or like it's just some purchased paper slapped on a card. Judy, what you've done here is beyond my wildest dreams of what I have ever hoped to achieve. You've done an incredible job of pairing the lovely floral paper with your main image (without drowning it out or taking away from it!!!), as well as highlighting the lovely, delicate aspects found throughout the card. Impeccable!
Thanks for sharing!
Blessings,
C

Such a gorgeous sign of spring and a favorite verse that accompanies it.

I can just smell the fragrance of your beautiful iris! Some years ago I had a purple iris that smelled like fresh grapes!! Love the font on your uplifting verse!
