You may remember that we're doing Inlaid Dies at CAS Mix Up this month.
I wanted the flower to stand out a little so I inlaid the stem and leaves and
used dimensionals behind the slightly shaped flower.
The iris was cut from the woodgrain paper and colored with Zig CCRBM.
It was fit into a piece of smooshed Mixed Media paper, matted and added
to the piece of woodgrain paper the iris was cut from.
I colored behind the flower lightly with a Blender Pen and some Zig smeared on a palette.
It would have been easier to do that before I inlaid the die.
Live and learn....hopefully!
My mixed media are stamping, inlaid die cutting, and smooshing.
Hope to see you in the gallery at
Penny Black Saturday Challenge is SPRING OR EASTER
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Beautiful iris! They always bloom here on our anniversary (5/27), our 50th this year. Happy Palm Sunday, Bonnie. The Easter card you sent is gorgeous and on display in our dining room.
Beautiful smooshed background - love the pink as the backdrop for the purple of the iris. Also like the wood grain embossing on the card base.
Beautiful watercolor background, so great looks with this violet irises. Black frame emphasizes image. Exceptional card.

This is a gorgeous card Bonnie! I love that iris die and I love how you inlaid it but popped up the flower head. The smooshed background is beautiful as well!! Hugs, Brenda
Brilliant idea of creating the interesting dimension on this lovely inlaid flower. Looks so pretty with the background too! The woodgrain paper is so effective in this die cut too! TFS

Bonnie, this is a brilliant take on inlays! A partial is such a fabulous idea and one I hope to replicate! The watercoloring on your iris is gorgeous too! Terrific card!
Neat idea with the flower to give it some dimension.
love the partial inlay, it gives it so much more dimension. I also love the background colours.
Love everything about this card, from the texture card base, pastel smooshing, to the black matting and that partially laid in gorgeous lily die cut (that I love so much :D )
Beautiful my friend! xx
The background is gorgeous and I love the idea of inlaying the stem and popping up the flower.
