Hello, everyone! Welcome to Altenew’s Build-a-Flower: Bearded Iris Release blog hop + giveaway!!! I’m so thrilled to be joining the designers for this hop!

BUILD-A-FLOWER: BEARDED IRIS STAMP AND DIE SET

Take a look at this beautiful layering set! For my samples, I made one using only the outline layer and the other using all the layers.

STEPS:

  1. Stamp with Versamark ink and emboss the outline image using Rose Gold embossing powder.

  3. Die-cut Neenah solar white using the Nesting frames die then deboss with the Dotted Starburst debossing die
  4. Stamp the sentiment on black cardstock using Versarmark ink and emboss with Pure white embossing powder.
  5. Create an ombre background using distress oxide inks.
  6. Distress the edges of the background with a paper distresser.
  7. Assemble the card with foam squares for added dimension.

Because the vellum is a non-porous surface, it it’s easier to move and blend the the pigments. With paper, the ink will seep into the fibers very quickly. It wasn’t difficult to create the texture on the flowers by using different shades of the same color.

JUST BECAUSE

STEPS:

For this card, I used both the outline stamp set and the layering stamps.

  2. Layer the stamp layers to create a flower using the Warm and Cozy dye ink set. Stamp the leaves using Nature’s Wonders ink set.
  3. Stamp the outline image on making paper then cut out the image to create a mask.
  4. Cover the layered flower with the cut out masking paper and stamp the outline image using Versafine Onyx black.
  5. Create a scalloped edge using the die.
