Iris Flower Handmade Card

Hello stamping friends!  My iris flowers are just starting to grow in my front garden bed, and it inspired me to use this Iris Stamp!


I colored the image with alcohol markers, then completely fussy cut it out with scissors and a craft knife.  I glued the base of the stem with wet glue, directly to the paper, then used foam squares under the flowers to add dimension.

The background circle is also stamped, and is a cut out from a previous I Brake for Stamps project where I created a frame.

I’m not ready to send this card yet, so I left the sentiment off. However there is a space right at the base of the flower where I will add it when the time comes.  

Supplies: I Brake for Stamps Floral Half SheetIron Work Background, Memento Black ink, Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, Hero Arts Navy shadow ink, Darice Embossing Folder, Gina Marie X Stitched Circles die.

This card is so lovely! Great design! I remember my elementary students bringing me irises from their yards in the Spring. I loved them on my desk.
