This card is for the Limited supplies challenge today about summer. I always start thinking of summer when I see the Iris blooms start to appear at the end of May.
This gorgeous Starving Artistamps Iris image is coloured with prismacolor pencils and sansodor/oms, cut out and mounted on foam tape over a panel of lilac pearlescent card that I put through a cb paisley embossing folder. These were then layered over a white card blank which I embossed with the stylized flowers cb folder. I added a little stickles, lilac satin ribbon and liquid pearls to finish. TFL

Princess, what the heck are you doing over there? At first I thought you had a really sincere interest in the FBI, but I can see I was way off on that one! This is a fabulous, fabulous card, Chris. I love all the elements you've brought into your card. Together, they're add such an elegant and dramatic flair. Totally terrifice card.

My oh my Chris, this is just stunning! Love the combination of the two cb'd papers. Your coloring of your gorgeous flower is ever so lovely! Never used liquid pearls, going to have to get me some of those. They are such a nice addition. Your ribbon sure ties it altogether nicely! You have done a wonderful creation here! Just love it! TFS :0) later
