This is one of my favorite flowers. My iris was colored with blender pen and ink from reinkers. The vellum was put on the iris and cut out over it. The vellum was colored on the back with bashful blue and amethyst. A very light coat of luminere was applied as well. Yellow stickles was applied to the back and front side of the iris. Amethyst ink from a marker was used to line the iris and trace the edges. The iris was shaped a bit to make it look more 3-D than flat. The bashful blue paper was run through the Cuttlebug and stippled with amethyst ink around the edges. The afternoon tea paper behind the blue was run through the CB also. Black organdy was used for my bow. I think it looks rather elegant.
