'Iridescent Irises.'

 Good afternoon Lovelies,

 I do hope you are all well.    Today I have another card to share with you,  which I have made using an Imagination Craft's decoupage stamp from 2012.   I  have used their pearly paint palette to colour the image, which gives the image a beautiful sheen, particularly when the light shines on it.  The base card is made from some deep lavender card and is 7"x7"  in size.

Matt and layer a six and a quarter inch square of orange card onto the deep lavender base card, leaving a border of the lavender showing.

Next, cut a 6" square from some textured white card.   Using the decoupage Irises stamp set, stamp the irises in the centre of the white square, using a Versamark embossing pad and heat emboss with black embossing powder, using a craft heat gun.

Paint the image with the pearly paints from the palette, using a brush and some water.

The texture of the card shows through the paint giving a nice effect.    Stamp the scroll design from the stamp set using a Versafine black ink pad, around the square, 4 times.

Stamp   'It's your birthday' in the top left of the white card and 'Enjoy....'   in the bottom  right using the black ink pad. 

Lastly, matt and layer the stamped white card onto the slightly larger piece of orange card  already glued to the deep lavender  base card.    The card is now finished except for the addition of an insert of your choice.   Below are a few more photographs although the beautiful sheen of the paints do not show up very well in my photo.

 

  That's all for now my friends, hope you like it.   Take good care of yourselves and I will be back soon with another card.   Thanks for stopping by my blog, I hope you have  enjoyed your visit. 

                                                                  Love and rainbows,
