Iris Card

Today's card is a little different.  I made this card years ago but still like its simplicity.  The majority of this card is made from foils. The rest is colored with embossing powders.

The trick to coloring with embossing powders I found was to have the best tool around for placing the powders carefully on the image you wanted to color. That tool is......(Drum roll)....a plastic coffee stirrer. 

All you do is cut one end at an angle and you have a little plastic scoop to pick up and deliver small amounts of colored embossing powders to the right spots.  Cool, huh?


I hope that you try this technique out. It is cooler than you think!
