I have a few important cards to make this month, and this one is for my sister's birthday.
I took pictures of the iris in my garden last summer. I printed 3 small ones to use as my background. The main image is a stamp that I colored with prisma colored pencils. I enjoyed making this card. I love iris, the color purple, using prisma colored pencils, but mostly I love my sister.
