Iris Folded Hearts

 
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 HeartThe Male Room ValentineSweet 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!
