For the background, I used Peeled Paint DI at the bottom, then graduated Mustard Seed and Fossilized Amber before finishing with Shaded Lilac Oxide.
A few Lilac spatters (once again more on the craft mat than on the card....)
The flower was painted in the same shades and I added some teeny blobs of Gold Liquid Pearls.
I wanted to make the bottom of the card a little different and tuck the flower in rather than just having it on top so hence the use of the scallop die.
I stamped a few grasses for the base of the flower to give it a bit more depth.
The sentiment also part of the same set.

Shopping, a little bit of ironing then an afternoon in the craft space - it's quite grey and cool here and the wind is howling - not that I need an excuse! Thanks for visiting and have a great day whatever you're doing! x

It must be exciting receiving regular goodies in the post and I love what you've done with this stamp. Clever idea at the base of the card to hide the end of the iris stem - looks as if it is growing.
This is just gorgeous, beautiful coloring and background! Glad you joined us at The House That Stamps Built!
BEAUTIFUL stamp Viv, and lovely painted too. ♥

Great design Viv and gorgeous Irises. Hope we can hold our nerve nest week, but a real shame about the Ox.

Such a pretty card - I love that iris - so delicate - love it! Hugs rachel x
This Iris is yet another beautiful TT flower stamp Viv and you have coloured it beautifully and given it such pretty surroundings with your inked background, and what a great idea to fussy cut and add a scallop shaped cut across the piece so you could tuck the stems underneath. x
Very pretty card Viv, love the technique you have used. The scallop was a great addition.
Such a beautiful card and absolutely love how you've coloured the flower and the glorious background x
Its a beautiful new stamp Viv I like how you designed the card as well.

Beautiful!! Love your colors; perfect for these fabulous irises! Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.
I do like that rather natty idea of tucking the stems behind the scalloped edginging. Grounds the stalks perfectly. Slowly getting back to rights after the severe hacking. Still looking over my shoulder at every opporunity bough. Hugs Mrs A.
So pretty Viv ! love the Ombre background and that gorgeous Iris of course too.Thanks for the good wishes too ;) hugs Viv xx
