This Siberian Iris is a Flourish image. I have made my mom iris cards before in purples, but wanted to try something a little different. I watercolored this in barely banana and added a little yo yo yellow. It was lots of fun coloring this image. I also have some embossed leaves in the bg you can almost see. I really like that cb folder too.
Thanks for looking.

WOW!! Kim, this is stunning!! I'm sorry I haven't had time to drop by your gallery recently. I can see I've been missing out!!! I just love how you went yellow with this iris. I'd have gone for purple first myself, even though I've always loved yellow (and white) irises. It just wouldna occurred to me to do otherwise!! Beautiful watercoloring and an absolutely lovely layout. Super duper work on this one!!!

Oh my goodness!!! This is a STUNNING yellow iris! It looks like the little siberian irises I have in my garden that have just bloomed, except that mine are purple and white. I really like the layout you chose for this card as well!
