I die-cut a rectangle frame, popping it up over top of my card base and tucking the bottom of the iris stems in-behind. I added a few pop dots and glue dots to secure the flower heads in place. A sentiment was stamped several times (using the Misti) to get a clear image. The inside sentiment says: Have fun and smile today!

What a stunning card Loll! I love your gorgeous watercoloring. You always watercolor so beautifully. Those Iris's are beautiful for sure and your CAS design shows them off perfectly! Hugs, Brenda
Irises are one of my favorite flowers. Loll, your colouring is amazing, such soft shades :)
As you know, I love irises - after seeing your gorgeous card, I may have to break down and buy that stamp! Beautiful shades of colour in the flowers, and I love the way they are coming out of the frame.
Gorgeous and elegant CAS card, Loll! I love how you watercoloured the beautiful irises, and I'm always amazed with your detail fussy-cut skills and patience!! Hideko xx
Brilliant coloring of the irises, Lolly! They look freshly cut and sitting in a vase outside a window with their leaves fluttering in the light breeze! Sensational!! Hugs, Dolly
Wonderful design and beautiful colouring of the irises, Loll. Fab card!

Absolutely beautiful Loll, I must have been asleep and missed the announcement, your on the Penny Black Team wow you must be so so busy. You totally rock it with all these amazing cards and this one certainly is amazing with your fussy cutting. You must have the most steady hands, it looks fantastic in the framed card base. Congratulations on joining the Simplicity Sisters, they are lucky to have you.
Beautiful watercoloring and cutting out to overlay over the rectangle. Such a clever design to set off that smashing PB stamp!
So pretty, Loll. The flowers are beautiful and you did an amazing job with the fussy cutting. The flowers look fabulous coming out of the frame like this. Terrific work! :)
Beautiful, beautiful card Loll! Your Iris's are colored so beautifully and fabulous job on the fussy cutting too!! And I LOVE how you have the flowers coming out of the frame...really striking! :0)
Gorgoues, gorgeous card, Loll!!! Love it!
The watercolor is gorgeous and that fussy cutting is fantastic. You did a great job of it and the iris looks so pretty popped in that frame.
Stunningly beautiful and wonderful fussy cutting. Great image and love the delicate and pretty colours x
So gorgeous, Loll! Even more stunning IRL. Those narrow areas would be a challenge to fussy cut, but you did a magnificent job! Love the frame design with the iris flowing over! xx
Your painting is just beautiful but my jaw dropped to see that it was all fussy cut! What patience you have to do this. Love how you mounted that gorgeous image though. This is outstanding, Loll.
Your irises are so pretty, Loll! Love the soft purple and yellow of the flowers and how it is popping out of the frame!
This is so delicate and delightful, Loll. I can't believe you did all that fussy cutting. That is above and beyond!
The platinum embossing is very subtle on this lovely iris image. Of course your w/coloring is fab, as always. The colors are soft & what a great shading effect on the blossoms. Bet the tiny stems were a bit fiddly to cut well, but I like the arrangement of letting some of the stems & blossoms fall outside the pretty dimensional frame. Hugs
Beautiful colouring of these gorgeous iris, Loll ... love how they're bursting out of the frame in all their watercoloured glory! Hugs, Anita :)
Really gorgeous iris Loll, love your watercolouring with distress inks & how you tucked it into the back of the window. Great layout! Hugs, Gwendolyn
I love how your irises pop out of the window. I like that the flowers are spreading and occupy a large part of the card. Great design, Loll!
Hugs,

Beautiful Loll! these iris are just growing right out of the frame!
so gorgeous mf...you made this flower come to life.
xx Karen
Beautifully watercoloured Irises Loll and love the way they go over the sides of the frame, and wonderful fussy cutting too. x
