Blue Iris

Good Morning all, i hope you had a lovely weekend and found a bit of sunshine. 

Today im sharing a little card I made for a friend, i treated myself to a set of 12 Wink of Stella pens recently so this is my first outing with them.  I used them to both colour in the image and make a matching background. 

I first stamped the iris twice and coloured with 2 blue, 2 green and a touch of orange stella pens, i used them like watercolour and you still get the full sparkle effect.  I then die cut one into shape, using a mixed media die i cut out the hole detail, i then decoupaged the 2nd iris flower on top. 

I die cut a matching size and shape as the topper and using the stella pens made a background, once dry i glued it behind the topper, and mounted onto a cardbase using foam tape.   

Close up to try and show the sparkle, you can just about catch it, i had also shaded around the iris with yellow ink to give a softer effect. 

Items Used:

Chocolate Baroque 'elegant iris' stamp

Tim Holtz 'Mixed Media' dies

Sizzix framelits '658204'

Kuretake Zig Wink Of Stella pens
