I cut the top half of it out twice from shiny green paper and joined them together to make it symmetrical. I cut a regular circle from a shimmery orange cardstock and then cut the circle and the embossing circle from the green again.
I can't get the b'ground paper to really photograph well. It's a textured and glimmery paper from the DCWV Boho Chic 6x6 pad.
I stamped the Irises from the JustRite Botanical Medallions and Banners set, coloured them with Copics,fussy cut them and covered them in Glossy Accents. I coloured a ribbon with my Copics too. The sentiment is heat embossed in purple and it's from the fabulous JR Grateful Hearts set. A few jewels and a cardbase of Labels Eight and it was done. And still not the card I had planned to make!
But how could I resist that gorgeous die ??!!
