Okay, I know I usually do cute cards - and one could be forgiven if you think that I have taken leave of my senses!!
However, I needed to get a few cards in my stock - and while this one says Happy Birthday - the 3 others I have left blank to be stamped for other occasions. This was kind of fun as it was a departure from my usual fun card. The card looks so much better IRL!!
I could not capture the bling of the rhinestone in the middle of the iris, nor the three rhinesones along the side.
The colours turned out all wrong too -this is mellow moss and lavender lace - but it sure doesn't look like it in the picture, does it!
Thanks for looking - and I have more colourful cards on the go!

This is so pretty, Deborah! I think the colors are perfect, but IKWYM about colors looking different. Some colors just don't want to show their true colors.

Hey Deborah. Isn't there so much to do in so little time. There are sooooo many great people who touch us in here and it gets hard to get around to them all. I was just going over some comments and there you were, so here I am saying that I love your 'departure' card. You do so well in any medium, and I can imagine the colors you have chosen even if my eyes are playing tricks. I thought a camera would end all my woes, but I'm learning that all things do take some measure of skill to make them work to the best of their ability--RATS!!!

Beautiful card and work. Where have you been? I haven't seen your charming face or cards in the longest time. Maybe that's because my time here has been so limited. Ya think?

Happy Birthday Deborah....... Hope you are having a wonderful day... Love the beautiful spritzed Iris and the colour combination. Like the added bling and paper piercing.
Hugs.
