What a gorgeous garden we got to walk through for the Inspiration Challenge today. I love irises and have killed more than I want to admit to. The lone survivor is a clump of Siberian iris from my Aunt's garden that I have had for 38 years now. Not enough sunlight for irises in my yard I am guessing. Here is my inspiration https://www.schreinersgardens.com/sh...rkshop-1fb.jpg If I can't grow them at least I can enjoy them as cut flowers!
This PSX image was stamped on water colour paper with Archival Ink and coloured with Tombow markers.

Ooh this is beautiful (and a really cool image, I am not so sure that I have seen this one before) and I love how you mixed all those prints and textures Ann

This caught my eye as soon as I opened the gallery. It is stunning ...first the flowers are colored beautifully, and then the bg papers make such a nice frame. pinned and faved.

This is so gorgeous with beautiful colors! I used an old PSX stamp today as well. They certainly had wonderful stamps, and you did an awesome job coloring your bouquet.

Beautiful coloring on your sweet image and a lovely and perfect background for it. I struggle with irises too. I just don't know how exactly to care for them, so they don't thrive for me.

Ann, this older PSX image takes a LOT of patience to color and you did it beautifully. Really a lovely spring card with your flowers in a basket and the pretty DPs, colors, and embossing you surrounded them with.

How pretty is this, Ann! I love your bouquet of colorful flowers & the patchwork bg looks so lovely. Just curious..how did your kill the irises? I planted some years ago & basically ignored them. that's what I do, lol. I plant things, wish them well & they're on their own. I guess the irises were ok w/ that, lol.
