Today's card is a CAS design using a lovely stamp set from SU (Inspiring Iris). I've had this stamp in my NBUS (never-before-used-schtuff) box for a LONG time! :)
I started by masking a rectangle using Background Basics stencil (Penny Black) and a sponge brush with Salvaged Patina Distress Ink to create an ombre background. Then I stamped the outline image of the irises. There is a matching stamp for the flower heads, but I couldn't get it to line up, so I watercoloured with more Distress Inks (Milled Lavender, Wilted Violet, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn).
To finish, I stamped the sentiment (Super Day - Penny Black), in black ink.
