Today I'm adding a card I've made for a close friend's birthday. The challenge of the week at http://lotstodocallenges.blogspot.com/ is to create a card using iris folding. This is a technique that I particularly like and as I have an unused rubber stamp of a perfume bottle by Personal Impressions that includes the pattern for the iris folding I decided to use that.
I do hope she likes the finished card.
Materials used:
* gold mirror card
* vellum with white ivy pattern
* vellum with gold ivy pattern
* different kinds of gold paper for iris folding at neck of bottle
* perfume bottle stamp by Personal Impressions
* Stazon black
* cream organza ribbon
* tag die cut
Hot tip: Test stamp Stazon on scrap of mirror card before stamping real image.
I discovered while making this card that not all mirror card reacts well to Stazon ink. My first attemps went really badly as the ink seemed to bring off some of the gold coating. After moving to a different type of mirror card everything was fine.
