Sympathy Iris
Hi friends. Vera here. Last week, I was playing with Climbing Iris Layering Stencil and what can I say, I love creating with it so much, that I ended up making another card. And, since this week am a bit swamped with work and a challenge that I set up for myself, I figure I go ahead and share the card here, even though they're repeat of same set I just used last week. But, in my defense I feel like the card has totally different feeling.
I actually pretty surprise at how much I love the way this card turned out. I used light purple cardstock for the panel and using the tone on tone purple for the flowers, really make the flower pop. I don't know how to quite explain it, but when you see the card in person, the flower really stands out. I used Parisian Blue, Periwinkle, Spring Violet, Lemon Drop, Dolled Up and Soft Garden. I also used Spring Violet to ink up the edges of the panel.
For the sentiment, I used one of the sentiment from Belated Iris set. And, I added Pixie Pink Sparkling Clear Sequin and some enamel drops for embellishment.
That's all for me today, friends. See you in July! I know, right, we're already on the last week of June!! Happy summer!

This summer I attended a craft show in Buffalo, NY. I stopped at The Ton and was pleasantly surprised with the quality products and the variety. I made a card with layered stencils and it turned out beautifully. It was so much fun. The owners are great people who are in the right field. They are knowledgable, helpful, and just a lot of fun! I happily spent over $300.00 and returned to the booth more than once. I couldn’t stay away because I enjoyed the spirit of these two individuals and what they had to sell. I was thrilled to hear that in the very near future they will open a store front in Queens. I visit Manhattan 3-4 times a years for at least 6 weeks each time and I can’t wait until this store opens.
Do yourself a favor and frequent this site on a regular basis. You will easily and happily add to your current line of products. I highly suggest the layered stencils and the accompanying ink spots arranged in depth of shades to make the process so simple. Thanks Guys and this site a try!
