Like many of our design team, Iris has a style that’s so unique we had trouble finding an already existing label for it. But when you get down to it, it’s a whimsical style and she always includes lots of detail, so ‘Detailed Whimsy’ it is!
We would love to see your interpretations of Iris’ style. Please send in your layouts to [email protected] by next Wednesday 8th June for a chance to win a whimsical prize pack!
If there is one thing you will notice about Iris' style - it is that it will always involve some fussy cutting, misting, and stamping. According to Iris, she just has to get it a little bit spritzed and smeared with colour to make it work for her. In this page, Iris made a scenic and whimsical page about her daughter's first Easter Egg Hunt.
The same detailed whimsical style can be seen here but in a more shabby vintage look...another one of Iris' favourite looks. You can see some stamping, inking, embossing, and even an application of mediums like bead gels...
Iris’ detailed whimsy style translated into a mini-album. With two daughters Iris obviously gravitates towards feminine, pretty pages, soft colours and beautiful imagery.
Maggie Holmes has always been one of Iris' most admired artists. She is a pro-photographer and an amazing artist. Maggie Holmes designs for Creating Keepsakes Magazine, Making Memories, and Studio Calico among others. Because she takes such amazing photos, her pages need very little embellishment to make it a stand out in galleries. Maggie is a genius in combining lots of whimsical details to her stunning photos which makes her pages so beautiful and memorable.
