Have you tried quilting? It is similar to iris folding and a lot of fun. The first card I made took forever cause I spent quite a bit of time looking for matching paper in my stash and I wasn't really happy with the finished card. Then I remembered that I had picked up a small set of black and white paper at Michael's a few months ago. So easy -- just pulled out the matching papers and cut the strips. Lesson learned -- plan ahead. ;')
I love this card and think I will make my Valentine and Easter cards using iris folding and quilting techniques. The 3"x3" quilted square has a black frame on a plain white card. For a little sparkle, I added red sequins in the center and along the white sentiment tag. The blacks are not as bright in this picture as they are on my computer. ???
The inside message was printed on white card stock.
I'll be entering this card in the JUGS 169 Wild Card Challenge:
Happy New Year!
Kathy
