Purple Day Lily

      I'm expanding my crafting horizons (OK, my card making horizons) by playing with photographs instead of digis or rubber for this card, although the sentiment is a rubber stamp from Sparkle 'n' Sprinkle (now closed.)

     The photo of this flower makes it look very much like an iris or a flag but it's actually a day lily in gorgeous purple!  I printed it onto low-gloss, photo paper and fussy cut it.  Photo paper is heavier than most papers, almost like light weight card stock, so it cuts easily with very sharp embroidery scissors.

     I hope your weekend starts with a lovey cup of coffee or tea and that you have time to spend spoiling yourself.  Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie

You had to use the photo Connie, it is so beautiful and your sentiment is perfect for the gorgeous bloom. Love the colours of it.
