Card for a Friend


I was looking through my stash of old unmounted stamps and found this iris stamp from years ago and decided to create a card using it. I coloured the stamp with my Copic Markers and then used a gold leaf pen to frame around the different layers that I used to make the card. I cut all of my layers with a set of card creator dies by Spellbinder. 

The background of the card was part of a Gelli plate print from my stash and the horizontal piece was made with a acrylic paint and plastic wrap technique. To complete the card I added a sentiment, ribbon and some beads that are part of an old necklace that I have recycled.  

Closer look at the techniques.


Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.  I am off to stamp some more.
