I created a CAS mixed media card by including watercolouring, die-cuts and stamping. I LOVE my new partial honeycomb die-cut ... you'll be seeing a lot more of it soon. The iris was cut from hot press watercolour. Zigs were used for colouring the stems, and distress ink (wilted violet) for the flower.
This is one of my favourite 'Happy Birthday' sentiments. It's from a stamp set by Technique Tuesday called Cosmos. I haven't used any of the other stamps (including a beautiful bouquet of cosmos). Hopefully I can show it some love soon.
Here's a close-up of the card ...
I'm entering this into The Flower Challenge #13 (second entry), where they are celebrating their 1st birthday. This is another of my favourite flowers. :)
And I'm playing along with CAS on Friday #119 - Flowers.

You captured the colouring of an iris perfectly! It's lovely paired with the honeycomb die.
You've done a wonderful job of coloring this iris, my friend! And that honeycomb die is gorgeous. I have a similar die that I need to get out!
Love that background! I was wondering how you did a partial die-cut like that. But it sounds like it's how the die is created. Another gorgeous card! Love the beautiful simplicity of it!
Oh Loll how beautifully you have coloured that iris. Simply stunning. Love the die cut background and that sentiment is a beauty.
Gorgeous, Loll. That colour of purple looks amazing. Your watercolouring is beautiful as always. Love the hexagon diecut background.
