Just a Note 15

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 ;)

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!; Reply March 12, 2018 at 5:34 AM
