Blue Iris

 Morning and OMG Friday the 13th!!

Today I have a card using half of an 8"square stencil I have-well I stencilled it all then cut it in half and made two cards(2nd one next month) I used a Crafters Companion Layered Iris stencil and used blue again as I has a lovely pale blue one in the garden which didn't appear this year!!! I just used as is as needs nothing else-later I added a thank you for a neighbour who lent John a wheelchair after his heart attack so we could still take him out.
