Kim has such a wonderful Sketch for us this week - as usual the possibilities are endless for her center 'shape.'
I had a new floral die from a friend just itching to play - Nance, I only wish
I still had my wonderful Siberian Irises that sadly got left behind when we moved!
Papertrey Ink's Delightful Brackets was used to create the focal space where I
planted my SB Layered Iris cut from papers from The Stamp Market.
A sentiment from who-knows-where stamped on a banner I found among my snippets!
But I'm betting you have your own little stash of snippets that would work just as well!
That gorgeous green panel was debossed with another of those wonderful
plates from Lil' Inkers - here's a closeup:
Are your creative juices flowing yet? There's even more to be inspired by over at the FMS blog HERE!

I'm sneaking back in for a link to Darnell's I.D.E.A.S. Calendar!
Nearly ALL die-cut today!
You have done this iris up beautifully, Michele! The out-cut is the perfect stage for your iris to take a bow! As always, I wish those cover plates from Lil Inker were still available.
ReplyDeleteOooh, this is sooo pretty! That iris is stunning! Gorgeous colors too!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely GORGEOUS Michele! I adore the colors you used on that lovely Iris...sooooooooooooo pretty! Love your opening for the Iris and your Lil Inker pierced background too! This is definitely one eye catching card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteOh, those blues are gorgeous, Michele, and your iris is lovely! Perfection!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful iris and beautiful card. Love the colors and texture. The die cut opening is perfect for the pretty iris.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! It’s fun seeing you be on a team 😃
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous iris with the layering! Your center opening is ideal for it, and I love the sketch and colors. I had no sooner learned to love Lil' Inker when they went out of business, sniff sniff.
ReplyDeleteThis card is a total beauty, Michele! The colors, the texture, and of course that gorgeous iris that was waiting to be displayed for this sketch!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely iris, Michele. The soft green and blue make a beautiful backdrop for it.
ReplyDeleteYou leave us in awe of your design skills, post after post, M, but today I'm remembering to mention your excellent photography skills, too! That closeup gave me lots of personal time between my eyeballs and your card, loving all the nooks and crannies and colors! Thank you for using this week's I.D.E.A.S. Calendar and linking this dancing delight in the gallery to motivate others! Hugs, D
ReplyDeleteWowzer! LOVE that iris, but your whole design is amazing with the colors and focal "donut hole" -- terrific on a grand scale, Michele!
ReplyDeleteThe detail on this iris is just beautiful Michele - as is the die impression on the green panel and your aperture frame your floral beautifully. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLovely take on the sketch. I'll have to keep it in mind for a design. I love that you filled the aperture.
ReplyDeleteI love the window you've created for this gorgeous iris! Such pretty details on this fabulous card!
ReplyDeleteI love the window you created - such a perfect frame for that gorgeous iris!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous use of colour here Michele!
ReplyDeleteI was just looking at my last debossed panel, using this die, I cut on one of our get togethers... I need to cut some more with this beauty! You've used it perfectly with those fancy iris. What a marvelous card!
