Hi bloggies,
A quick post today as it’s already late… This card was inspired by the play date cafe color challenge and by the iris fold technique. I say inspired, because iris folding is a technique that involves folding strips of colored paper in such a way to form a design. So, that’s what I did. However, the center of the design should form an iris, which I didn’t do as I wanted the buggy to look as real as possible. I made an other one of these cute little buggy cards, but didn’t take a picture yet. So that one will be for another post…
Hope you like it,
I’m off to sleep now, see ya….
Whoa, what a neat effect this iris technique is on the baby pram! So different and lovely.
Thanks for playing with us at The Play Date Cafe!
Oh, this is so fun! LOVE that pleated paper, and it looks so sweet in the buggy! Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at The Play Date Cafe!
This is awesome–so beautiful! How did you create the buggy pattern, please?
Hi Daphne and welcome to my blog!
To create the pattern, use a circle cutter (mine is from creative memories) but only cut out 3/4 of the circle. Using a craft knife, finish the pattern by cutting two perpendicular lines to the middle of the circle. Fold thin paper strips and layer them on the backside of your cut out pram. And there you have it, just finish off with some ribbon and buttons… Have fun!!!
Such a neat way to use those pleats! Thank you so much for playing along at The Play Date Cafe.
This is so beautiful! Love the design. The buttons were a nice finishing touch!!! ~Sophia
