Iris Folding

This is my 1st attempt at iris folding. I bought Coppernob's "Fancy That" book and now I am addicted so I must start collecting papers that are suitable for this craft. I do like an excuse to start collecting something! I used some foil sheets for this project and will mount the piece on a card. The back is incredibly untidy but I will get neater with practice.

Poppies

I have now discovered Hinny Bop crafting CDs ( another thing to start collecting!!) and have used a similar layout to my cheetah card. I have made a sort of photo studio with white card and I am getting slightly better pictures now. Here is my poppy card. The flowers were made using a large flower petal punch and the centres are seed beads in a puddle of glossy accents. I just love making them in all colours and the punch is so much easier than cutting the petals by hand which is what I did before.
