If you want to get a detailed tutorial for the Magic Iris, on how to use and assemble it, here is a link to the Lawn Fawn video on their YouTube channel. It's a lot easier than you might think.
I started by creating the Magic Iris. I used white cardstock for the elements you will not be seeing. For the iris that opens and closes and the add-on ring on top, I used Spiffy Speckles pattern paper. For the tab I used Guava and Apricot cardstock.
For the background I used a coordinating Spiffy Speckles paper, the one with the blue speckles and white background. This way, the Magic Iris really stands out but it all works together too.
I also wanted to create a little ground, so I used the Grassy Border die and die cut it from Cilantro cardstock. I ink blended the edges with Lucky Clover Oxide Ink.
I stamped the images and also used a couple of images from A Bug Deal. I used Copic Markers for coloring and these are the colors I used:
Leaves: YG13 - G14 - G05
Branches: E00 - E11 - E04
Ladybugs: W3 - W5/ R35 - R39
Magnifying glass: W3 - W5 - W7/ BG72 - BG18/ R35 - R39
I die cut the images. I also die cut the inside from the magnifying glass and added some accetate to the back, so it looks like it has real glass in it.
I assembled the card and put the images on the inside of the Magic Iris as well. I stamped the sentiment on a piece of Guava cardstock and added these strips to the side of the card.
I was a bit intimitated by this die at first, it looks like a lot more work than it actually is. It's really not that hard and a lot of fun to create these Magic Iris cards.
