For this card I used the Iris layering stamp from Altenews Build a Flower Bearded Iris stamp set. I messed up making it but with the help of some colored pencils I hope it isn’t too noticeable. This stamp set arrived shortly before I got so sick so one day I requested my daughter to bring the set to me just in case I felt strong enough to use it. I hope you like it. I also added a design using an Altenew Watercolour Stripes stencil and made it going two ways to create a plaid or gingham look. I thought that made a great background.
The sentiment is from Gina K. Designs. I colored some white card stock with a lavender ink pad and used that as a backing for the sentiment. Inside I added Happy Birthday. The inks I used were from Rubbernecker.
Thanks for the visit and I am so glad for your sweet comments. Have a great week.
God bless, Verna

I love irises and your coloring is wonderful. Love how you did the sentiment.
So pretty, Verna. You blow me away with what you can do with very little. I bet the people there where you are are blown away too. Thanks for sharing your talent, and I hope you are finding some joy in it.
Your iris is lovely! I see the background and it fits so well.
Gorgeous, Verna! Love the iris, we have some similar that are starting to bloom now, and the purple plaid behind is a perfect backdrop for the flower. So glad you're feeling up to creating and blessing us with your makes!
Your iris looks great, and I love the subtle background you stenciled. So pretty!
Wow, that soft plaid is just perfect for the background of the Iris. What a stunning card this is. If you "messed up" I sure can't tell.
I love how you have used the stenciled background, and the iris is gorgeous. I know being creative must lift your spirits a great deal. Every time I see one of your posts I take a few minutes to pray for you. I am sure your courage and strength is a wonderful testimony to all those who spend time with you.
Irises are one of my favourite flowers! You did a beautiful job on this one. The colouring is so pretty!
Love your subtle background to this majestic Iris Verna - a stunning card
