Dream of Iris

Hi Everyone,

I decided to create something other than a card. I used some Maya Road chipboard, ribbon and colored chin-chou kuik's Dream of Iris:



Dream of Iris is stamped onto watercolor paper and colored with watercolors. Wanting something a little different, I used Spellbinders Peony die to diecut the image.


I used Wild Plum Paint Dabber followed by Dusty Concord Distress Stain on the chipboard piece and set that aside to dry. The large flower diecut from deep purple card stock was from my stash. I curled the petals and then used Perfect Pearl Mist to add some shimmer. I also added some to the now dried chipboard.


Then I found a piece of white crepe paper and randomly spritzed it with Wild Plum and Sailboat Blue Adirondack Color Wash.


The crepe paper is attached to the back of the image panel which I then adhered to the large flower. The scalloped chipboard is the bottom layer. I added some rhinestones and purple ribbon and voila, I now will have some beautiful enchantment while driving to work - I'll be hanging this beauty from my rear view mirror :-).

  8. This looks so great, Micki. Something totally different. It looks like a piece of metal on the back. Love this look. And I think it looks so great on a door or a wall.
