I stamped the Iris image onto tissue paper, then wadded it up and glued to a piece of kraft cardstock, creating what is called faux silk (didnt know it HAD a name until just the other day! LOL) LOVE how this looks! Added some twine, but of cheese cloth ribbon, and some pearls and basically thats it! Somebody was asking me where the kraft cardstock was this time around...here!! LOL!
