Irises 20

Hi! I hope you are having a great weekend! Today I have a couple of oil painted Irises to share that I painted on an 8" x 8" canvas panel inspired by Nancy Medina:

Lovin' all the vibrant transparent colors in the underpainting but I'm not thrilled with the colors of the Iris on the left. Practice, practice, practice...

I'm linking this painting to the current Paint Party Friday site where they are celebrating their 6th anniversary!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

hello 24

Hi! Today it's my turn to share a project on the Popppystamps blog featuring a variety of fabulous products from the Spring 2017 Release!

For the focal point, I featured a double layered pretty Scribble Flower Circle. I love all the pretty little flowers as they are the perfect place holders for tiny pearls. For the sentiment I used the Scribble Hello die and finished with Pretty Stitches trimming:

I couldn't resist embellishing with a triple layered Stitched Butterfly:

a note to my dear friend 22

Hi Everyone! Today I'm featuring this card on the Poppystamps blog. If you have a chance, please stop by! I'm sharing this card featuring  fun dies from the New Mini Release including the Atessa Collage and Stitched Butterfly Trio dies.

I created a clean and simple card. For the background, I used the Atessa Collage die to cut a piece of white cardstock then layered it on top of a piece of green cardstock:

I stamped one of the many sentiments from the Friends and Flowers stamp set then embellished with a layered stitched butterfly that was die cut using a couple different sized Stitched Butterfly Trio dies:

For color inspiration, I'm joining along with the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge:

I've been painting Garden Roses inspired by Daniel Edmondson. I have three different versions:
