My card today is for Penny Black Saturday Challenge. The challenge is to make a Christmas Card which has to have snow. I had to dig out my one and only Penny Black Christmas stamp and I stamped Snowy and Hedgy in versafine black ink and coloured with prismacolor pencils and sansodor. To make the iris folded frame I folded three twelve inch by one inch strips of christmas design paper, folded in half and then placed cut pieces of the strips around the under side of the frame cut out with nestabilities. The folded pieces were built up in layers until I'd gone all the way around with the three different papers. I covered the frame with versamark, embossed with crystal ep and cut to fit the back of the frame. The card blank has been embossed in the cuttlebug with a bubbles eb folder. I stamped Happy Christmas in grey Ancient Page ink and added, ribbon and stickles to finish. TFL
Back soon,
Chris

Wow Chris, another stunner! I've never seen an Iris folded frame before. It looks great. I haven't made any Christmas cards yet. I think I'd better get a move on. (will proabably still be saying that in December ;) )
