Today, I felt like doing a little iris folding. I have a huge box full of pre-cut papers and card blanks just waiting to be used. They are mostly left overs from workshops I have done in the past. I needed to make two birthday cards, so with the two recipients in mind, I selected the backgrounds and got to work. I am very happy with the way they turned out. Both cards are 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".
