Irises on the Oval
Irises on the Oval

Instructions:
Card size is 5 x 7”. Using the largest Oval Filigree Frame Die, cut 2x from heavy white cardstock. Before cutting the second one, add 1” two-sided tape to the top of the cardstock. Score that one just under the tape and fold. Remove the tape backing and adhere the two diecuts together to create card base. Using the plain oval die from the set, cut 2x from white cardstock and dry emboss using any embossing folder. Before embossing the one for the inside of the card, stamp the ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ Sentiment from the Thank You Sentiments Cling Stamp set using Archival Deep Purple ink. Adhere the two ovals to the card base.

Add additional color to the backs and edges of the petals and color the beards of the purple ones using Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend marker. Stamp the leaves using Olive ink diecut using the coordinating dies and color the fronts and backs with the same color. Add additional color to the edges.
