Iris flower WLSC

 Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for We Love Stamping 
the theme this month being "Anything stamped, option, Fabulous Florals"

I received a newsletter advert and just had to buy the stamp, there is a tutorial of how to use the stamp on their blog, a new technique to me, so I followed the tutorial and cased the card.

I stamped the shadow layer, then the flower layer.  A piece of ripped vellum was stamped with the sentiment and using clear embossing powder heat embossed. It was then attached to the stamped layer. 

I layered the card and vellum onto yellow and purple card, so they were on 2 sides each. The colours were different for me too.  I am pleased with the result and glad I could case, and learn. I hope you like my version too.

stamp - Stamps by Me
inks - Distress Oxide, hickory smoke, fossilised amber, villainous potion 
vellum - Crafters Companion 
coloured card - Lidl
 
 
I hope to see you at the at the Challenge,
 there are Great prizes for the Winner this month
 
Two prizes, AALL and Create Petal Therapy and Vase Trio
 
I love Iris and have a blue and rust Iris in the garden.

 I haven't played at the 613 Avenue Challenge for a long while, so here goes, with my ATG.

Hello welcome back - beautiful card and thanks for sharing the photos!!!

Pat said...

This is beautiful Faith and I love the pretty purple and yellow for the iris and the coordinating matted layers in the background, and then the vellum with the lovely pink sentiment. The photos of the irises in your garden are great and they are such striking flowers and come in quite a few wonderful colours. I do have a couple of different iris stamps which don't get used much so I must rectify that. x

Greta said...
