#inspiringiris Archives - Inkspired Treasures

It’s Thursday and we have a fabulous color challenge for you this week on Create with Connie and Mary!

With these colors, I just HAD to go with a flower card, right??? I think I did a little “twist” on using this stamp set, Inspiring Iris. I used the leaves to make the “wreath”!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Terracotta Tile cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of So Saffron cardstock.
On the 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Whisper White, the leaves from Inspiring Iris stamp set were stamped with Garden Green Ink in a circular shape to make a “wreath” towards the bottom of the layer.
The flowers were stamped with Memento Black Ink on scrap Whisper White cardstock twice, then stamped with So Saffron Ink for the petals, Terracotta Tile Ink for the center and Garden Green Ink for the leaves. They were hand-cut and added to the “wreath” with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A trio of Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots were added to the background.
Some Linen Thread was tied in a bow and added to the leaves with Mini Glue Dot.

I’m really liking how this turned out! OK…check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did this week with the color challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary! Fabulous ideas, I’m sure!

Time for our monthly Greek Isles Achievers Blog Hop! The theme this month is New Annual Catalog or current special! I’m still working myself thru all the new sets I purchased, but Inspiring Iris is one of my favorites!

I made these pendants for some special people I ran into on the Greek Isles Incentive Trip. I loved how they turned out! You are here at my blog, Connie Babbert, and you can continue around to all the blog hop stops by clicking on the name under mine on the list at the bottom of this post.

INSPIRING IRIS

Of course, the packaging is just as important as the gift, right? I used the Woven Threads Designer Paper and new In Colors, Terracotta Tile and Seaside Spray, along with the new embossing folder, Eyelet Lace, and new Delightful Tag Topper punch. I also added a little Made with Love charm to the clasp.

I hope the recipients enjoy wearing them as much as I liked making them! If you need any supplies to recreate this project, I’ll be happy to place the order for you in the United States, or click here to go to my Online Store! Please use my July Host code.
