I purchased this fantastic pattern from Sylvia Griffin's site called "Iris Folding for a Cause". All the proceeds go to her granddaughter, Aileena, who has downs syndrome. You can read all about it on her site. If you are new to iris folding, like I am, (or not) I would highly recommend her site.
For the iris folding I used the Ruche Paper from Paper Temptress. It is a rather thick paper which is generally not recommended for iris folding. I really wanted to use it though, because the texture would give a bit of a "fur" look it. To attach the image to the card, I needed to used a double layer of dimensionals since the back ended up so thick. I colored him a bit with a copic marker to give him the darker fur where my doxie has it.
For the inside, I used the part of the pattern that was cut out. Is that the positive or the negative? I can't remember right now, LOL If you click on the photo you will be able to get a good look at the Ruche paper since I used it for the layer under the positive/negative piece.
The embellishments (corners and outlines) are metallic outline stickers. These are so pretty and are perfect for when you don't have a stamp image you like with your project.
Challenges I am entering this card in:
Corrosive Challenge: for the guys
Just Scraps: fussy cuts
Paper Playtime: Old McDonald's Farm which is open to interpretation. (I always think my doxie would be happier on a farm since he loves to chases other animals)
A Crafty Little Place: anything goes
C.R.A.F.T: dogs
Paper Take Weekly: use only 1 of something (I used one iris fold image)
I hope you get a chance to stop in tomorrow, I have some fun information to share with you, {wink} Hope to see you then!
