Altenew Inspiration Challenge – Bearded Iris Card #1

So, I decided to do some watercolor floral cards using Altenew’s monthly inspiration challenge colors. I actually made 2 “sister” cards. This is the 1st card with the lighter gray background and white heat embossing. The second one I will post tomorrow has darker contrasts. I love Iris flowers, so when this stamp was released; I, of course, had to buy it. I used my Altenew Crisp Dye Inks to watercolor my flowers. I just dabbed a bit of ink onto my glass mat, added a couple of drops of water, and painted. For this card, I used Sunkissed, Burnt Red, Ruby Red, Cloudy Sky, and Nimbus Crisp Dye Inks. For my sentiment, I enjoyed using Altenew’s Press Plates designed to be used with the Betterpress Letterpress. It always comes out so perfect.

  1. Gorgeous card! I have the Bearded Iris set and need to try it with white embossing and watercoloring because I just love how that looks on your card!

    1. Thank you. ❤️ It was an experiment. I tried it with both the more traditional black embossing powder and the white. I think I like the white better. I like using the heat embossing on watercolor cards because it gives me a border.
