Just a Note


 Hi! Today I have a few projects to share. First up is a generic sentiment greeting card featuring a fun faux cracked glass jar full of seashells:
I combined a few of my favorite stamp sets including PTI Friendship Jar, PTI Friendship Jar Summer Fillers and PTI Friendship Jar Spring Fillers: 
Up next is an oil painted garden of irises on a 12" x 12" canvas:
For the card color and theme inspiration, I'm joining along with the Inspired by All the Little Things challenge:
and for sketch inspiration, the TGIF challenges:
I'm linking my painting to the Paint Party Friday site where they are celebrating their 7th birthday:
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Be Sweet ;)

    Love your pretty card with the jar of seashells, and your Iris painting is gorgeous! The flowers are vibrant and delicate at the same time and one can just feel a soft breeze blowing through them. Happy PPF!

    Your card is wonderful. Love the seashells in a jar. Your painting is also fantastic. Irises come in so many different "designs," and I love seeing your perspective in your paintings.

    I do like it when you fill that pretty little jar! This is wonderful Mona, a great take on the challenge. Your pretty iris painting reminds me of my summer walks with little Max and the iris we used to pass by everyday!

    Really???? Mona, I adore your faux cracked glass! Did you use the Vintage Beeswax embossing powder? Love, love, love this, and going to have to give it a try.

    Your iris painting is truly one of the most beautiful I've seen! I love the rich tones and that wonderful sense of movement! And I love irises. You have painted their likeness exceptionally well. Wow! I would give my eye teeth for a painting like this! Hugs!
