For the background,I painted a galaxy using my acrylic paints and for the shaker,I used different silver colored sequins and gems so that they represent stars.I also punch out some stars from a silver foil since I did not have star sequins.Lastly,I wrote the sentiment- LIGHTS WILL GUIDE YOU HOME as I felt it would suit the background perfectly.Here are a few closeups.I am sorry for the bad camera quality,will surely get better with time (:

So for these two cards,I've used the method called IRIS folding.It's a very versatile method and I like the effect that it gives.So I made an ice cream card and a lemonade cup card.I had made a lemonade card earlier too but it wasn't the same way.That was a flat and simple card.So first on two rough papers I went in with different colours here and there.the I covered one card with vintage photo DI and the other one with faded jeans DI.then using my new stamp sets that I got from Itsy Bitsy recently, I stamped here and there to give different patterns and textures.They are the Vintage flowers and squares & oval stamps by Itsy Bitsy.Once that was done,I cut out 2 inch strips vertically and folded them in the center.Next for the cup,I layered a piece of paper on which I cut out the cup stencil over a square template and started filling in the lines.You can find these templates anywhere on the net.For the cone,I made my own template and then went in with the strips.Once these two were done,I added them to a card base.For the ice cream,I tore small pieces of paper and made  collage with it.I used my 3D red and white out liner to draw the cherry,stuck some pink sequins for the toppings and wrote my sentiment.For the cup card,I drew a straw and lemon slice and painted them with my favourite acrylic paints.I wanted my cup and cone to have the mixed media type of look,hence I made them this way.These are really fun to make CAS cards and I would say that IRIS folding is one of my favourite techniques now.Here are a few closeups of the card.

So now onto the tutorial,

Step 1:

So first,I chose a thick paper from my old notebook and cut a piece from it.

Step 2:

Next I applied some Camlin Texture White in some areas with an old toothbrush.

Step 3:

Next I used some Camlin acrylic colours in the shades silver,titanium white,permanent rose,medium magenta and brilliant purple along with some distress ink in the shade worn lipstick.I mixed and matched the colours along with some texture white to get the desired background as shown above.

Step 4:

I stuck a piece of patterned paper and this mesh which I up cycled from an old flower bouquet.You get these in the big flower bouquets and I always collect them.

Step 5:

I made these handmade flowers from online tutorials,punched out a few flowers from my flower punches and fussy cut some leaves.

Step 6:

So finally,I added the flowers,leaves along with a handwritten sentiment,some silver buttons and I used this glitter glue in purple and red to add some more details.

2)Eclectic Ellapu-Flora and Fauna

3)Lessology-Hand written sentiment

                                      4)As you like it-Bingo (My favourite line is Fussy & Fancy,pink and purple because these are my all time favourites.Pink is my favourite colour so,and I feel that fussy and fancy would be one of my favourite styles)

5)Word Art Wednesday-Anything Goes
