Today's softer, shabbier iris card is a little more "me", I think!
Flourishes' beautiful Siberian Iris is stamped with Ranger Adirondack Pitch Black dye ink on Neenah Classic Cream cardstock and colored with my beloved Copic markers:
I tried a little different shading around the iris, to try and "shab" it up a bit. This was done with the three Earth colors in the top right of the photo above:
The edges of the image were distressed with Tonic's Edge Distresser and then machine stitched to Stampin' Up's Cocoa mat. The background is Flourishes' Reverse Damask stamped with ColorBox Chestnut Roan fluid chalk ink on SU's Pretty in Pink cardstock.
The "Just Because" sentiment is included in the set, which makes it very versatile and not just for Mother's Day. It is stamped in the same Chestnut Roan ink on cream cardstock, cut with Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Oval Nestabilities. Pink brads and ribbon are Stampin' Up!
Note: I've added a Word document of the Copic Color Chart to this post. Hopefully that might help some of you who couldn't download the Excel file.
Check back in tomorrow for Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge!
