CD Sunday Plus Challenge #163 - Hosted by Pamela

 Hello

It's hard to believe it's time for our next challenge over at CD Sunday Plus.  The year is certainly flying by and I am now keeping busy planning for the annual Guide Dogs Christmas Fair!!

For my card today I had a lot of fun re-visiting a technique I hadn't used in a long time - iris-folding!  I had such fun making this card!

I had planned for the mats to be the opposite way round, i.e. the outline cut into the solid card, but I forgot that I was cutting the design out on the reverse!!!  Good job I was using double-sided card or I'd have been even more annoyed!!

The papers I used for the strips were all printed from Joanna Sheen's Furry Friends cd-rom (one of my most used cd-roms!).  I then carefully cut the papers into the same sized strips,  For the iris in the centre I used gold glitter card.

I really enjoyed making this and really need to brush up on my Scan N Cut skills so I don't have to hand-cut the outline!

This card was made for a friend who has two minature daschund's.  I also made her a cushion as a gift:

 

This was a challenge too and I doubt I'll be making another one!

I hope you'll be able to join us over on the challenge blog and look forward to seeing you there!
