At last we are getting some Spring weather which means that we can say 'Hello Spring' at Try It On Tuesday. The Design Team all have different ways of saying their 'Hellos' so do take a look here.
I made a journal page after visiting one of our favourite gardens and I got to see my first Iris of the year.
We missed the Iris season last year and by the time Lockdown was over they had all died off.
I used some sprays and some stencils by Aall and Create as a background for Francoise Read's Iris stamps for Woodware. I stamped and fussy cut some hexagons and punched some others.
Here is the Iris clump I found flowering at Fletcher Moss. You can see more on my blogpost later today.
Thees are only miniature Iris, we will be going to Styal Mill next moth to see the larger varieties.
I hope you will enjoy bring some Spring to your art and join us here at TIOT. As usual the challenge runs for two weeks.
I am also joining Art Journal Journey and Sheila's 'A Single Flower' theme
Thanks for looking, Chris

ReplyDeleteSunny and warm here, too, flowers all around. Love your page. Yay for spring!
ReplyDeleteFantastic spring page, and a gorgeous photo. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteIris' are a favorite of mine. This page is beautiful and it feels very much like a New Hampshire spring. I love all the stamped images in the background and the paint layering. Have fun when you get to go see all the big irises but the small ones are still beautiful. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteSpring is definitely there where you are. That's a good lift to the spirits when one see the flowers blooming. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful spring page! I love Iris too, they are my mum's favourite flower and I always buy them for her this time of year 😁. I'll have to see if that stamp is still available. Wishing you a happy week! Hugs, Jo x

Iris’ are such a fancy gorgeous flower. They are my favorite. That Iris stamp is awesome and really lends itself well to be fussy cut. I always love when a stamp works well in more than one way. Your page background looks like it was a lot of fun to create. The Iris stands out so well yet blends just as well. It’s fun to discover all the details you’ve included on this page.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see the photos of the irises, you created a beautiful springtime page Chris. The stamps you used look lovely.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your spring visits.
Stay safe.

This journal page is really complex with all the stamping in the background. I can even see a postmarking stamp.
ReplyDeleteThe stamped iris is really beautiful as are the real irises in your photograph.
Thanks very much Chris for all your single flowers for our challenge themes AJJ.
Totally gorgeous page, Chris. The flower is beautiful and that supporting background is wonderful!!!! Wow. So lovely!!! Hugz
ReplyDeleteA great page Chris, I love the Iris image you used, it really pops against your background, and it's nice that you included a picture of the flowering iris.
