Hi bloggers! I'm showing the
Iris Flower Square today done as a stained glass. I started by cutting the
Iris Flower Square in white and gluing it to a piece of acetate. Working from the reverse side, I filled in areas with glue then sprinkled
Polished Silk Glitter on them and tapped it off. The darkest colours need to be done first working up to the lightest, which in this case was the background on which I used
Sparkle Star. I set it aside to dry overnight, then added a white backing for it and a thin black mat. Next I created a background for it using the
Squared Squares. I cut three sizes together then added a thin Iris mat behind the largest one and matted the entire piece with coconut white card and seated the
Iris Square in the middle. I completed the card with white, Iris and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Such a beautiful card. Love the colours of the iris.
What a beautiful way to start the day, I'm honestly struggling to put what I'm thinking into words Sue, the Iris looks bold and regal with the choice of colour, and the delicate Iris and white background shows the beauty of your Iris flower even more, an absolute beauty - wow !
As you've started my day with a smile, I hope your day is full of them xxx

Hi Sue, I love this gorgeous card and the way you have created the multiple colours within the iris. I have been so busy paper piecing my square flowers with pixied paper that I haven't got around to one of my favourite stained glass effects so thank you for the reminder and I will be having a go at the week-end.

Love the glitter work! Xxx
Very pretty Sue...luv Ursula xx
Loving how you brought the iris to life with your placement of different colors of Polished Silk Glitter. Until I got to your photos below the first photo, I did not notice all those lovely colors. It is tough photographing cards with acetate on them. Your iris card brought a glimpst into what may be growing in my flower garden under this snow laying around here. Winter is certainly getting longer!
Gorgeous!
Hi Sue,
I really like the flower die's,you have done justice to the Iris it looks gorgeous.
Best wishes

Hi Sue. WOW, WOW, WOW !!! Today's card is gorgeous !!! I love your Iris flower square die set. I really love all your flower square dies. I love the squared squares dies to. I think they are perfect for just adding that little something extra to frame a beautiful card. I am thinking of the paper piecing possibilities to. You have used another of my favourite techniques Sue, polished silk glitter onto acetate. I love how you have given the Iris flower two colours on the petals to. The colours are fab. I really love this beautiful card. Thank you Sue. Lots of love from Tres X X X
