IO " What's Your Hobby" Challenge

Impression Obsession's new challenge is "What's Your Hobby".I got this one ready as soon as I saw this challenge was coming up. I have a few hobbies, but gardening is the one this is about. I am crazy about bulb type flowers and the iris is my hands down favorite. My gardens are covered with snow, but I'm making my plans for the spring.


The iris is stamped on vellum and heat embossed in gold. I coloured the image on the back side of the vellum. This fabulous iris stamp is F1094.
You can play along here : http://mitrafriant.typepad.com/impression_obsession_news/2013/02/whats-your-hobby-challenge.html
You could win a $ 25.00 gift certificate to the IO shop, which is a really great prize !

    Shona- your card is so sweet! Love it!

    Wanted to tell you about a crafting get together that my friend has started. She has rented an HRM rec center on Sunday nights from 7-9. If you are interested, I can send you the location. :)

    Hi Shona! Your card is lovely! The embossing and the gold in your card make it so elegant. Thank you for visiting me and for your kind comment. I just wish I can love gardening a bit more, my garden is so dry and barren at the moment :) I'm thinking of replacing it with artificial grass, right now.

    Love this card too - I LOVE iris but they don't do well here in Florida - too hot, they grow but never bloom - bummer for me!!!
