    My sister takes photos and puts them on handbags and cosmetic cases and other things. She has a web site on-line and she does craft fairs. She would love this card that you did. She loves flowers like I do and like you do. She has done purses with lots of flowers and people love the photos of flowers that she takes. I love to color and I would love to color this stamp! You did an amazing job on it and the way you displayed it is right where it should be. Thanks for letting us see it and for giving us a chance to win something. I hope I win!

  38. Laraine Randall says:

    Gorgeous!! Fabulous release!

  39. Marlene McLane says:

    Love how you used the new Iris Stamp set! I have been waiting for someone to make a realistic Iris Stamp set and this set set is it! My only suggestion regarding making future coloring videos is to shoot from a different angle. All I mostly saw was your thumb and the results after each layer, not actually seeing each marker or completely seeing the iris being colored. It was more of glimpses of the iris while watching a hand moving back and forth. I guess I am more of a beginner at using Copics than the audience you were targeting. I do appreciate what I could see, but can’t say I could duplicate it.

  40. Beverly Jordan says:

    Such a prefect stain glass piece!! Perfect coloring as well!

  41. Denise Bryant says:

    Awesome coloring on those gorgeous irises!

  42. Ellen H. says:

  45. Patty Eifert says:

    This is awesome Nina!! I’m so glad to see your comment about mixed media!! i too do not like what I feel is being called the normal mixed media. Every time I thought I should try something mixed media/vintage like….I just couldn’t do it…just not my thing!! I was happy to see someone else just say it out loud LOL!!

  46. Penni says:

    Beautiful project

  47. Marianne says:

    Such a cool project. Will have to come back later to watch the videos.

  48. You had a beautiful vision and executed it perfectly!!! I never would have thought to use that mousse on a frame, or the glitter on glass. So creative and such a beautiful result! Incredible work for your first mixed media project!!!!! TFS the process with us :)

  49. Krysta Martinek says:

    It project is really cool!! I have been afraid to try the Nuvo embellishment mousse…because I didn’t really know what to do with it. But now I have plenty of ideas!! Thank you so much for the inspiration!!

  50. Rebecca says:

    Oh my gosh, you had me at glitter glass! The iris stamps and the way you’ve colored them are lovely. You’ve created a beautiful piece of home decor.

    Nina, this is so creative! I, too, have been intrigued by mixed media art. I can’t wait to watch your video to see how you did the frosted glass. I love your display idea too. Beautiful!
