I am all about the techniques right now. This time: iris-folding. Not hard at all. Lots of adhesive. The b/w card was my first attempt. I found the heart pattern via Google images.
The Details: PTI white cardstock, Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock, Hero Arts Operation Write Home (card 1) and You & Me (card 2), heart brads, Memento Tuxedo Black and Rose Bud, Colorbox Frost White pigment ink, various paper scraps, raspberry cotton coverstock from my old stash
I'm entering Card 1 in Ladybug Crafts Ink TLT For the One I Love, Pink Elephant Challenge TPE 236 Photo, Simon Says Wednesday Have a Heart, The Male Room Valentine, Sweet Stampin' Love/Valentines, Stampin' Royalty #213 All About Love, Shopping Our Stash #137 Love Me Tender
Card 2 in Fusion #3 Photo, Fab n' Funky #202 Calling All Brads!
I like both these cards with the graphic patterns in the hearts! Lovely work. Thanks for playing again with The Male Room!
