Lucky Horseshoes

This card shows the irising technique perfectly. Four different papers were used for this spiral and the colours complement each other. The horseshoes motif is mounted and raised up to give depth to the card.

Presents under the Tree

This card brings together two techniques - quilling and irising. The tree and pot are created with irising. This is particularly effective on the tree where the green layers really give the impression of branches. Two of the presents at the bottom of the tree are created using quilling.

Angelic Greetings

Another Christmas card created with irising (also - Christmas Star and Presents under the Tree). This one is simpler than the tree card but very elegant. A lovely way to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.

Anyone For Golf?

A "man" card, using the iris folding technique. This works perfectly with the motif - indicating the golfer's swing.

Christmas Star

This is one of three Christmas cards made with the iris folding technique. It's a simple design, but very striking. The envelope was decorated to match.

Iris Folding

This is a fantastic example of the irising technique, which you can find out more about here. The differences between the papers used in this card, the colours, the matt/shiny contrast and the subtle patterns, really draw the eye in and produce a very pretty and unusual design.
