Don’t you just love this stamp set called Siberian Iris from Flourishes? I do!! The detail is Gorgeous and perfect for doing the Paper Tole technique. I really wanted to focus on the image, so I didn’t use a lot of extra embellishments or background papers.
Start by stamping the floral image on your cardfront and shade with Copic Markers. Next, stamp only the flower two more times on scrap paper, and shade just like the one on the cardfront. Cut the extra flowers out, each one smaller than the other, and assemble as shown.
I have quickly become a HUGE fan of May Arts Sheer Ribbon. It tie’s so beautifully. If you look at my card, the ribbon is actually lying over the image, but you can still see it. Perfect…..
I hope you have a great weekend, and thanks for stopping by.
