Simple Iris Card


This is the card I made for Laura’s birthday.  I forgot to measure it, but I think it’s something like 7ins x 5ins, using a hand cut, white linen effect card blank.
So far this year it looks like I have gone for a very simple, less is more, safe approach with my cards, partly due to the constraint of time and then to see how far I can take myself away from my usual format of mat and layering on white and then silver.   
I think the design is pretty OK. The scrap of background paper works perfectly with the irises which are the the very last of the huge bags of themed buttons I used to get from Create and Craft in the days of Alan and Barry ……goodness how long ago that was now.

I do love irises. They remind of the ones that used to grow in the flower beds around my childhood home. I think your card is very pretty and the button flowers add lots of dimension.
