I've been iris folding like mad since my last post, and as well as making some red baubles I have gold bells mounted on gold, and silver bells mounted on red. I added punched holly leaves and red gems to each bell and was so taken with the effect that I added gems and/or bows to the baubles previously put away and labelled 'finished and ready to send' (so I don't have a nasty shock in December when I discover I've forgotten to add an insert with stamped sentiment). It certainly improved the overall appearance; I did scan one of them and was going to replace the picture in my previous post with the later one, until I realised the gems don't show up very well, so you'll just have to use your imagination (colour matched gems, one in the middle of the hanger and one pendant at the bottom).Eighteen IF cards down, 27 to go.....
that is some talent right there...they are beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are very beautiful! I love the way you used the folding technique on your bells.
ReplyDeleteWow! These are absolutely beautiful! Wish I could do that!! :)
ReplyDeletelove you cards...just beautiful....
ReplyDeleteWow, these are just gorgeous what an amazing job.
ReplyDeleteFiona those are gorgeopus cards. It was great to get the ready cut apertures, that is what I find the hardest thing with Iris Folding and they are never particularly crisp.
