The Paper Players set a tic-tac-toe challenge.
I chose a diagonal line - die cut, embossing, and floral.
And the AAA Challenge asked for:
I die cut the iris out of watercolour paper and painted it with my Gansai paints, then went back in with coloured pencils to add a bit more detail. I cut two more of the iris and glued them together for more substance to the iris.
I glued it to an embossed panel and added a heat embossed sentiment on a scrap of purple cs.
It was such a quick card to make and I really like the results so am tempted to make a few more to have on hand.
Your iris is so pretty, Susan! Great watercolouring and detailing with coloured pencils. The iris pops off the dry embossed background. xx
ReplyDeleteA sweet iris card, Susan! I love the soft coloring and the embossed background. The details with the pencils add so much dimension to the petals!
