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.

What a beautiful, distinctive card. I especially like the way you did the maroon panel with the corner treatment and stamping, and the piercing. This is a very striking card! Love this layout!
