Hi everyone. Today I'm sharing a CAS Mixed Media card. I started by using a background that's been in my stash for a long time. The background is coloured using blue powdered inks. Once dry, I placed a flourish stencil over top and used glitter paste to fill in the design. It's so pretty in real life ... but glitter is almost impossible to photograph.
I added a die-cut Iris, that is watercoloured using Distress Inks. A simple rectangle frame was popped up over top with the sentiment stamped in purple ink.

I think you captured the beauty and schparkle of that background very well, Lolly. It's really glamorous and the stately purple iris was the perfect choice for the foreground! Thank you for using this week's I.D.E.A.S. Calendar and linking in the gallery to motivate others! Love, Dolly
That's a whole lotta gorgeous, Loll! Your glorious violet colored iris is right at home on that glittery, cool background. A simple frame is truly all this card needed
What a beautiful bright card Loll and I love the background with powdered inks and that lovely glittery stencilling over the top. The Iris is so pretty framed by the rectangular aperture, and the sentiment is perfect stamped in a coordinating purple ink..a gorgeous card. x

Beautiful and glittery background for your lovely Iris. Great coloring and great card Loll.
Oh, that background is gorgeous and the glitter looks amazing in the photo, but I know how much more it flashes and moves and sparkles IRL. The iris is a delicate beauty, framed just right with room for the matching sentiment. I love your style!
