Measurements for the iris panel before borders: 1 ½” x 2 ¾”, maroon flourish panel before black border: 2 5/8” x 2 ¾”.
-I used Weathered Wood distressing ink for the cracked image and itÂ’ s a new and juicy pad so I barely touched the rubber and placed the cardstock on the rubber and did a very light rub over it to get that faint image. I then sponged with the Tea Dye ink and fine sponge with a straight up and down motion.
-I masked off the panel portion with a post it and stamped on the flourish.
-Tonic paper perforator is used for the tool distressing.
-The image is colored with Prismacolor pencils and mineral spirits then heat embossed with clear powder.
-Iron Eagle punch by EK Success is used for the corner features.

love the way you stamped the flourishes in the BG, cool card and thanks for always including the dimensions in your description--it takes the guess work out and makes the sketch all the easier to complete!

I was inspired to do the challenge when I saw your card. I kind of cased if you want to get technical . Yours is a beautiful work of art. The coloring is very pretty.
