I made this card for last week's Teapot Tuesday challenge so I am coming in at the 11th hour with this card. Jen is our hostess and she chose a wonderful theme called, "Pen Pals" because the recipient and our own SCS Sabrina have been pen pals for a long time now.
The sentiment is stamped first, then the iris is stamped in 2 steps. When the stamping was done, I took a black micron pen and doodled around the edge of the image panel. Layered the card up with a loopy rectangle die and scrap designer paper. This card is going to Barbara who is recovering from surgery, and I hope she makes a full recovery too.
Thank you Jen for this wonderful challenge and thanks for looking! ~Karen.

Georgeous. Beautifully framed with that lovely loopy die. I really like the way you have doodled the border to match the tiny doodle design already in the die.

Your pink iris is really beautiful, Karen. And that doodled border is very in keeping with the stamp style. What a beautiful decorative die, makes for a very classy card.

Another beautiful creation in pink. As has already been voiced, the loopy edging adds such a special touch and your doodling coordinates beautifully with that die. It adds a fun, decorative touch to the image as well. I have to say your doodling is much more evenly spaced than mine ever are. Well done! And that dp paper is subtle and lovely. Great card.
