Second Iris Card

Hello again! 
Today I'm following up as promised on my last Iris post. This iris was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored using our Stampin' Blends. Look how smooth the color is. I did not do any shading. I simply colored them in. Easy Peasy. 


Now what to do with that image???

Build a card around it, of course! :) Since I used Seaside Spray and Rococo Rose to color the low petals of the iris, I focused on those colors for my card base and layers. I had a scallop piece leftover from a card I made a while back so I added that for interest as well. The It Starts with Art Washi tape was the pop this card needed to draw out the So Saffron color in the iris'. 
I stamped off another iris for the inside - just like the first card in this 3-part series. I think it adds a nice touch. What do you think?

And one more pic on what got me started with this series. 

That's it for today. I'm hoping to get the last post from this series up and running for your viewing pleasure tomorrow. It's gonna be a busy weekend as I prep for my class next week.

Inspiring Iris for the Stray Ducklings Blog Waddle

Welcome to the July edition of the Stray Ducklings blog waddle! You may be coming here from Lori Helvick's blog or maybe you're just starting with mine. Either way, we're happy to have you waddling along with us! 

From the moment I spotted Inspiring Iris in the new catalog, I knew I had to have it. I started playing with it then was like 😱 I couldn't make it work the way I saw in my head. I'm sure that never happens to any of you in the stamping world, right? *wink! wink!* So I told myself, "Just put ink to paper, it'll all work out." And it did! Here's what I started with: 


I had 3 irises, all decorated with a different medium. Now what?
I just started throwing matching cardstock on my drafting table. Then, guess what?! It all started coming together! Today I want to focus on the piece that I used the Stampin' Write markers on. 

Normally, I struggle with getting the Stampin' Write markers to color cleanly for me. I end up with lots of lines and unhappy with my finished project. Not this time. I used circular motion while coloring and look at that image. Not too shabby right?

I threw in some Balmy Blue Cardstock and some of our new Washi tape and viola! nice & easy card.  
 You can barely make out the image on the right from the stamp set. I stamped it off before stamping it on the cardstock. I wanted a lighter impression. 

And that's it for today!

Wait....what? You wanted to see the other two cards I came up with??? Well then, you're just gonna have to stay tuned in the next couple of days. They're going to make an appearance very soon. 😉

Catchya on the flip side!

Meanwhile my Duckling friends are going to keep you entertained. Please waddle along to their pages. Next up is Nancy Legate. I'm sure her creation is beautiful!
