Iris Folded Christmas Ornament-Merry Monday Challenge #47
I am very honored to be the Guest Designer this week over at the Merry Monday challenge site!
Our sketch was a Tic Tac Toe challenge. We could use any of the boxes, up, down or diagonally in our design.
I chose to work with the upper row, “Blue, Dry Embossing and Snow”, for this Iris Folded Christmas Ornament.
For the “blue” in the challenge, I used some of my blue-patterned scraps of paper from the Festival of Prints Designer Series Pack. The card base is Bashful Blue and the greeting is stamped in Island Indigo.
I embossed the background for the ornament using my Big Shot and Northern Flurry embossing folder for the “dry embossed” part of the challenge. This embossing folder also took care of the “snow” part of the challenge.
Iris Folding is one of my all-time favorite techniques. For more Iris Folding instructions, along with a video tutorial, please visit my Iris Folding Page HERE.
Supplies Used (all supplies are Stampin’ Up! unless otherwise noted)
Stamp Set: Four the Holidays
Ink: Island Indigo
Paper: Bashful Blue, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Island Indigo (for the iris), Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper
Accessories: Big Shot, Northern Flurry Embossing Folder, Circle Spellbinders Nestabilities (non-SU!), flower and rhinestone brads, paper piercing tool and mat, rhinestone, Dimensional
The ornament was made using a basic Iris Folded circle pattern and can be found HERE
