Iris

This week's card features the Kitchen Sink Multi Step Clear Stamp set Iris and the sentiment is from Kitchen Sink Multi Step Clear Stamp set Get Well Teddy.  I love how the Iris turned out as it reminded me of the Iris that bloomed every year in our yard in Iowa as a child.  It was one of the flowers my Mother allowed me to cut and bring inside to put in a water glass (we didn't have a vase) so I would cut several and place them on the kitchen table.  They would last a long time and there was always plenty more to cut when these wilted. You can get very creative with this stamp set and make all colors of this beautiful flower. I hope you enjoy the card....
