Altenew | Build-A-Flower Bearded Iris Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Altenew today to celebrate the release of the Build-A-Flower Bearded Iris Stamp & Die Set. This stamp layering set is so pretty! I have bearded iris's in my garden, so I couldn't wait to ink this one up! This post is part of a fun blog hop, more details on that below. 

I started off by stamping the outline layer of the Altenew Build-A-Flower Bearded Iris Stamp & Die Set in black ink. I then used Altenew Shades of Purple Crisp Dye Inks for the petals and Altenew Green Fields Crisp Dye Inks for the stem and leaf. They were then die cut out using the coordinating die. 

I took an A2 white card base and cut off 1/4" from one side (so that I could have the leaf hang off the edge but still fit in a standard sized envelope). I then masked off the bottom left hand corner with Post-It Tape. Using an Altenew Ink Blending Tool, I blended on the lighter inks from the Shades of Purple set. The tape was removed and the sentiment from the set stamped on top. 

The leaf and lower stem of the flower were adhered to the card with Altenew 2 in 1 Precision Glue and the top of the flower adhered with Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. To finish off, I added a few Raindrops.
