I was following some links in blogland the other day when I came across a blog of someone who has brought a clean, fresh look to iris folding. It's ages since I did any folding techniques so thought that Jane's sketch lent itself quite nicely to a folded dahlia pattern using eight double-sided circles.
The paper was a bit too thick to fold easily but I managed it in the end and must make a note to self to search out some less heavy double-sided papers for folding. It's mounted on to a birthday embossed background using the same paper just to add some interest.
Supplies Used:
Double Sided Printed Paper: Pink Floral Branch PMA 41652 (Papermania)
Embossing Folder: Birthday (Papermania)
Snippets: Shiny brad!
Enjoy the summer and don't forget to craft along with us when you have the time (I think it's my turn to host next week)!

I love that background embossing and the paper dahlia is a great take on the sketch. Another unusual and different technique for me to admire! Caro x
ReplyDeleteUsing origami as a focal point is brilliant! Love the embossed background too. Liz x
