Crafters Companion April Challenge


 Again another 8x8 card, I can't seem to get away from them!

This time I have used:
Sheena Douglas - A little bit sketchy - Iris
Ranger Liquid Pearls - Platinum Pearl
Clear Shrink Plastic
First Edition - Spring Feast 12x12 paper pad
Spectrum Noir Pens - LV1,LV2, LV3, DG1, DG2, DG3, CT4, OR3, TB9

I started by covering the card in the spring feast paper and applying liquid pearls around the swirls. I then stamped the large Iris and coloured in. I used spellbinders to matt the image on some darker card stock.
For the embellishment in the right hand corner I stamped the large Iris onto clear shrink plastic, coloured with promarkers then heated with my heat tool. To complete the card I stuck it all together and then stamped out the small iris, coloured and cut out and added to complete the card.

 The large iris in more detail.

The shrink plastic iris.

    Hopping by in honour of Dec O Cards. This is such a pretty card. I love how everything matches - the large iris, the irises on the paper and the cute little shrink plastic one. Your colouring is lovely too.
