Hello Friends! It's time for a new challenge month at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge Blog. The challenges are Always Anything Floral Goes (entries must be floral focused) with an optional inspiration picture. Following is the picture this month:
I was directly inspired by the Purple and Yellow Iris flowers in the bouquet, and I've used the Altenew Build-a-Flower Bearded Iris Layering Stamp and Coordinating Die Set for my card. To color the flowers, I've stamped each layer using Catherine Pooler and Stampin' Up inks.
The background panel has been embossed with the Mod Squares 3-D embossing folder from Altenew, and I've lightly inked around the edges of the panel using Pixie Dust light purple ink from Catherine Pooler.
To finish off the design, I've stamped the sentiment, from the stamp set, popped the strip on foam pads and adhered to the embossed panel. Lastly. I've added lilac faux gems for that extra something special.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna
