Fantastic journal page! Love the design ♥
What a gorgeously painted iris and lovely art journal page. Fabulous!
I love your art journal! What a beautiful way to catalogue gorgeous flowers! I hope you don’t mind if I copy your idea!
What a pretty mixed media piece! Love the background with it!
Beautiful Iris, Purple and Yellow is my favorite color also🥰❤ My Grandmother had the same color Iris planted all over her land, you could see Iris’s for miles just like you have painted. Thank You so very much for bringing back a wonderful Loving Memory of mine as a little girl, and I’m 61 now, so Thank You Vicki. I really Love the color palette that you have chosen, it really makes your page pop with Piazzas. I never knew that they had that grid cancel I will have to get it when I order the irises stamp I can picture now how I will make my card what’s a beautiful Iris as you have painted it. Thank you so very much for sharing Vicky. Oh by the way I love your name😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😁❤❣
Oopsie sorry I don’t know how to fix my Boo-Boo😱😳🤔💭🤔💭* correction I meant to type gred stencil not cancel….
Wow, how beautiful. I loved watching you put this page together. It really inspired me.
Ooh this is so beautiful! Love your design and colors! <3
Your journal page is gorgeous. Every time you post journal art I’m inspired to start one (I even bought a journal). Maybe this would be a good time to start. That iris is beautiful.
I love this so much!
The Iris is one of my favorite flowers, so I was so excited to see it as the a Paint a flower choice this month!
Wow, I love how you colored it and the dimensional elements in your journal page. Still trying to decide if I like embossing past — I do like how you used it!
Absolutely gorgeous work. You are very talented and creative.
Watched your video and it was wonderful. I loved what you did to the background. Going to give that a try for sure. Your project was one of my top three favorites. (on this blog hop, I started at the end and worked to the top) And boy, oh boy, this is a really fun challenge. Love this stamp set..good job ALTENEW!!! Staying home, crafting and staying safe! Take Care 🙂
Beautiful video! I was so relaxed, listening to the music and watching you color. Wow! I have discovered I really enjoy watercoloring, and now I know an art journal I can do! How cool is that! Thank you for sharing!!
I loved watching your video. So many fun elements, from the partial stenciling, the stamping with ink and clear embossing powder, to the beautiful watercoloring. And the sentiments were so varied and fun!
Beautiful page. Great video. Love to watch you create.Be healthy and Be safe.
I love how this turned out. The mixed media elements really help give it dimension. What a great inspiration!!
My grandmother’s favorite flower ❤️
Sure love your background colors, very pretty card
Following my “wow” reaction to your post and video I had to buy that stamp when you originally posted this. I’ve used it so much, it is fun to just color the images. Your project inspired me to do my own take on it. It’s only paper and coloring materials, I needed to just do it. I’m so glad I did. I loved how it turned out and others were also very impressed. I have to thank you for your wonderful inspiration and instructions. Your video to see how you did this, along with fantastic instructions made it easy for me, a beginner, to create something I’m quite proud of. I recently made several cards (one for a 100th birthday) using this same inspiration and the recipients were also delighted with the images. I know I’ll continue to turn to this as a favorite stamp and techniques. THANK YOU for inspiring and encouraging so many of us.
