So, would you like some more delisciousness from the Flourishes Sneak Peeks? Today is the second set of A Year of Flowers.
I have a great love for beautiful Iris'. I think I've mentioned this before, but in our home in the US we had a huge flower garden, and one of my favourites in the garden was a burgundy Iris. It was so rich. I really miss that flower! It would have been impossible to get it across the border, but I sure wish I could have!
So, here's a small recreation of it with the May flower from this A Year of Flowers - Calender Set Two. I watercolored this trio with my SU markers and an aqua painter. I cut it slightly "out of the box", and then added some sponging using my Lables One Nesties as a template.
I've layered it with more Nestie shapes giving it some flourishy embossing with my Texturz plates too. I thought the flourishy feel was a good pairing with this Eskimo Kisses paper.
Finished off with romantic crochet ribbon, and Kaiser pearls, a staple with me these days!
Want another sneak peek of the Friday Sneak peek? A small snippet of these beautiful July Tiger Lilies. I'll show you the whole project tomorrow!

Absolutely stunning Christine! Gorgeous designs! I love the bearded iris as well! We went to visit Stephen at Vanderbilt and they have gorgeous blue iris in the campus landscaping. I was thrilled! It was the first time I had seen one in person. They don't grow in my area.
Christine this is outstanding! Oh I love the rich colors, your beautiful coloring and a wonderful layout. Just gorgeous.
Wow, the rich purples look beautiful paired with that flower! Gorgeous, Christine! Love all your fabulous details too :)

Amazing! Love the purple iris and your wall art is fabulous!
Lovely creations! I've never seen a burgundy iris before but if they ar anything like the one on your card, they must be stunning. I have a ton of blue ones in my front garden and love it when they bloom in the spring as there are five to a stem. Maybe Santa needs to order you some burgundy ones for Christmas ;D
So rich, elegant and beautiful Christine!! LOVE the crocheted lace!! And your little tag and ribbon treatment are fabulous touches!! What a beauty!!
