Flying hearts

Hi all, Victoria now has flooding so keep those prayers coming for those areas and also for the recovery proses. Thank you so much for the many messages sent they are all appreciated. This project is one of my older iris folding patterns which Ive adapted to suit some punch art as well, very easy to do if you have never done iris folding before! All punches used are from stampin up and can be purchased here through me. I used Bashful blue ink for the clouds and the saying comes from an older stampin up set called "so many sayings". For more details you can find a folding pattern sheet for the wings here and also check the below pics.....



For the wings on these smaller hearts I have embossed some lines to help make them curved. And the below pic shows how I have shaded the main large heart.


A simple project but hopefully one you will enjoy :) sit back and watch my video....
Blessings to you

Flying Heart Pattern

All dressed up double take

Hello from our house, its cold and rainy out today and were suppose to be hiking for the long weekend..mmm not looking good so far forcast says it will be like this till after the weekend but things could change i must be positive! Well how proud of myself am i getting Mondays class to you all so early! LOL I made this Iris folded dress pattern way back in 2004 which seems like forever ago because so much has happened in our lives scince then. Im calling this post a double take because im showing you what you can do with those left over cutouts after you've completed the IF card. So after you've cut the dress out carefully with a shar craft knife . stamp the card front then go ahead and Iris fold following the numer pattern. I added some small stickers to the dress to add detail and kindy glitz glitter over some of the stamping. Now heres what you can make with the cutout!

Cool Hey! below you'll find both patterns for the Iris Folding and the mans suit. I cuttlebuged both these to add dimension and ran over the dress in a shimmery pearl Brilliance ink pad, and with a tiny flower and leaf punch gave them some pretty flowers. we also did these in blue shades and they looked beautiful. Heres a close up and the pattern.


I hope this has inspired you as it did others at my card making group.....Valita
