I was really inspired by the second of Steph's thumbs and a rug that I found on the site, but when I found this Iris Pillow, I knew that was it. Especially as it reminded me so much of this needlepoint iris picture I did some time back.
A2 purple base, then a yellow layer.For the image layer I stamped the Serendipity Stamps image on more purple with Versamark and embossed with white EP, then added colour with gouache and acrylic paints, and a touch of Stickles on the fuzzy yellow bits. Before the Stickles and after the paint was dry I stamped Canvas over it with Milled Lavender, and then wiped it off the image. Some ribbon threaded through with the slot punch, and a sentiment made with Word Window punch and the small oval one finished it off. It's not my day today, some of my baking went wrong and several things went wrong in the making of this card - but I still think it's OK-ish.

Sabrina!! You've done an amazing job capturing the look of that fantastic iris pillow with your card. Even if things didn't go quite as planned with this card, it still looks beautiful to me. Wonderful work

Sabrina, your card is beautiful! I love the colors you used! I had a little trouble with my card, too. After I made my mistake I realized I didn't have any more very vanilla left! :o/ Thats how I ended up with my strip of lace!
