Iris Fold Christmas Cards - The next batch...

Well, the Christmas Card Creation Train continues plugging along! :) Here are two ornies and two reindeer that I have completed. As you know....I simply adore Iris Folding. I have been looking for a "branch" to hang my ornies on and decided on this piece of scrapbook paper. The ornies are folded with metallic foil origami paper, my personal fave.

I really like this leaping reindeer pattern. I have a set of swirls stamps that I use practically everyday. Turns out they make excellent fancy antlers as well!! Who knew??

New ART for one of my groups

I am working on my newest ART commitments. I am signed up for an Inspiration mingle and a Christmas Ornie mingle.

For the Inspiration Mingle you are to view the photo and use it for "inspiration" to create an ART piece. My inspiration mingle is a coaster. The crow is clip art designed by a friend, the pumpkin is made from 3 oval punches and the words are mine. It is top coated with Krylon triple thick aerosol glaze.

The Ornie had no other theme but make one, anything goes. :) My Ornament is on watercolor paper, sketched out first with a black sharpie and then water colored using pencils. It was then sealed with a matte sealer. I still have to punch the hole and put on the hanger but I knew it would scan better flat!! :) I created 2 versions.
