Iris Love

Happy Monday All!

Over the weekend I had fun playing with a few new products.  Today's fun shares were created with yet another stencil I purchased from Del Bello's Designs ... this one is by Sweet Poppy and of course, called IRIS .  Simple yet beautiful!

The sentiment stamps I chose to used on today's cards are from the Pretty Pink Posh company called 'Thoughtful Greetings'.

Thoughtful Greetings Stamp Set

 Here's another card using a single stem stenciled image.


And of course, if you prefer more than one stem of flowers on your cards, that's just as easy as stenciling as many as you want in your bouquet.  For the following card, I decided upon three so I simply repositioned my stencil and got inky.


One or Three ... this stencil made card making easy!

It's going to be another busy week so I'd better get started!
But, before I go ... here's a peek at my Springtime Iris.

It's a shame they don't last longer then they do!!

  6. All just breathtaking, Darlene! It's hard to stop at one. The paper on your first card is gorgeous. Lots of useful sentiments in the set you used. Oh, and your real irises are gorgeous. Yes, it's too bad they don't last longer, but look how many blooms they produce!
