Don't waste a moment... by ~*Arwen*~

 Hi peeps ❤


Welcome back :)

Here's my latest card and some pics, how I made it.




I used the Iris Shutter #1911 from Elizabeth Craft Designs. You can find a tutorial video here:

Iris Shutter Tutorial


And that's how I made the final card:

01.) These are all the die cut pieces that I need for my card. Plus black cardstock, onto which everything will be glued at the end.



02.) First I assemble the lens. You can see how this works in the video I posted above.



03.) These 3 parts are now left. The two white parts and the arrow on the lens can now be designed.




04.) To color the background first, I take one of my handmade watercolor paints and color everything that is white.




05.) For the edges I choose a darker tone so that the shading can be clearly seen.




06.) Finally, I design all my pieces with my selected stamps. A saying is still missing here. I first fixed the outer ring with magnets - it will be glued on at the end. I cut the lower part of the card out of black cardstock so that it is a little larger on all edges. I then put the upper part on and mark the section of the circle to place my motif there, which can be seen when you open the lens later.



All stamps, I used:

- Unhappy Mosquito

- Don't waste a moment

- Silhouette clumps of plants

- Long stern with leaves

- Wildflowers silhouette

- Typeset scallop


other supplies:

- Iris Shutter cutting die

- Watercolor paper

- Cardstock

- 3D foam

- Versafine Clair

- Distress Oxides

- handmade watercolors

- Glue dots


See ya soon *mwah*
