I Brake for Iris Flowers!

Hello from design team member, Heidi!  My iris flowers are just starting to grow in my front garden bed, and it inspired me to use this Iris Stamp!

I colored it with alcohol markers, then completely fussy cut it out with scissors and a craft knife.  I glued the base of the stem with wet glue, directly to the paper, then used foam squares under the flowers to add dimension.

The background circle is also stamped, and is a cut out from a previous I Brake for Stamps project where I created a frame.

I’m not ready to send this card yet, so I left the sentiment off. However there is a space right at the base of the flower where I will add it when the time comes.  

The stamps I used today can be found in the I Brake for Stamps store.

I Brake for Fuchsia Flowers!

Happy New Year!

I have a fresh floral card to share with you today.  After the fullness of the holiday season, when I had time to sit back down at my craft desk, I felt like using flowers.  

I stamped twice, then colored the fuchsia stamp from this Floral Half Sheet stamp set. I then fussy cut with scissors and a craft knife.  I added some glitter glue to the flower to add shine and dimension.

Next, I stamped the Iron Work Background stamp with navy ink on light blue cardstock.  I decided to make a frame out of this by using a circle die (stay tuned for how I will use this part of the image, it is too pretty to toss). 

 I found a scrap of embossed cardstock to put behind the frame, then arranged my flowers.  

I hope you are finding time for stamping in the New Year!  So many possibilities lie ahead.  And, of course, the I Brake for Stamps store is open for your perusal.  Have a great day!
