Good morning everyone and welcome! l'm here to introduce you to this lovely Iris Garden Collection from Heartfelt Creations! Here in East Tennessee the Iris flowers are just beginning to bloom! It's a truly glorious time of year here. My dogwood trees are in bloom and below the dogwood blooms the majestic Iris blooms are stealing the show! The Iris is the state flower of Tennessee so you can imagine just how poplar it is! I can remember as a child visiting a farm where a woman sold Iris roots for 5 cents each and my mother purchased every color you could image. We had them growing all along the side of the yard! You can find my card here in the Heartfelt Creations Gallery.
My finished card size is 4" X 9". Make card base out of Deluxe Flower Shaping paper and cover with a piece of Sheet #5A of the paper collection.
Using white cardstock and Luxe Gold cardstock cut two of the Slim Lattice Oval die. Glue the two together so the gold peeps out from behind the white. Set aside. Cut a Slim Eyelet Rectangle die out of white cardstock and cut a piece of Sheet 6B to cover. Glue to card front. Tape the Slim Lattice Oval die cut temporarily to the card front and decide where to position the oval die to cut the opening. Remove the Slim Lattice Oval die cut and run the card front through a die cut machine. Now layer the Slim Lattice Oval die back over the opening and glue down to card front.
Cover the inside of the card with a piece of Sheet 12B and stamp the sentiment with Majestic Violet so it shows through the opening.
Stamp the flower petals with Majestic Violet and the leaves with Leaf Green. Cut out with coordinating dies. Color the leaves with Leaf Green and Olive and color the flowers with Majestic Violet just on the edges. Place leaves and flowers onto mold, spritz with water and run through the die cut machine. Turn out on the desk to dry. Once dry poke a hole in the center of the flower petals and thread a stamen through using hot glue to secure in place. On one of the flowers cut part way through the center of the petal and cut another in half and hot glue the half petal in the slit of the whole petal. Take this and glue to another petal and the flower is ready.
Decide on placement of flowers and leaves and glue down. The card is finished.

Wow, my friend, thys is just gorgeous :) I love the elegant die and your fantastic flowers :)
Ohhhh, those magnificent irises! My mom had an incredible iris garden, too. Also dahlias. I'm looking at my little dogwood tree this very moment and there's not a flower in sight! Spring is coming slowly here because of all the rain and chill. One day it will burst forth all at once. Gorgeous long-tall card with the beautiful lattice dies, Glenda!
Wow what a gorgeous card and your irises are just stunning!!
