I made this for today's inspiration challenge - here is the art print by Li-liger that inspired me http://www.art.com/asp/sp-asp/_/pd--...EA1C3EC5180FC3
I stamped the Inspired by Nature leaves in old olive onto the green dp. I inked up my long stemmed iris with my certainly celery marker and stamped over the leaves. I coloured the iris's with my acrylic paints (snow white, grass green, ebony black and taffy cream). I stroked some fine lines of the taffy cream, green grass and ebony black across the images. Matted with black and white. Main card is wild wasabi. I stitched around the edges twice. Stamped the sentiment with basic black onto so saffron, stamped the off the leaves once (for a lighter image (old olive) and stamped over the sentiment. Used my su label punch. Added the styilized silver hardware and (heat curled) ribbon. Glued the rhinestones onto the butterfly.
I am really pleased with how this card turned out.

Just so lovely. I wished I'd had an iris stamp - I gave the one I had to a friend. The colours in this are so fresh and light, and I really like the bit of stamping on the sentiment to tie it in so well.
