I have decided to add the Group name to the swap so there will be a few updates in my future postings.
But for today I want to show you my latest Iris Folded cards.
I bought the designs from Sylvia, a fellow Circle of Crafters' member, who sells the patterns to support her special needs Granddaughter.
I printed out my designs and cut out the fronts of the ATCs after selecting several papers for the IF.
The Lampshade consists of a very fine paper with lavender wavy stripes one side and silver on the other side. I varied the folded papers so that there would be reflections of light towards the top of the shade. I used a sticker for the lamp stand which was a bit difficult to cut, if I fold this pattern again I will try to utilise something else for the stand. 
I used a slightly heavier paper for the Post Box as that was the only one I had in the bright red - pillar box red!!
I used the waste from some Peel Offs for the Iris and also for the letter. I did outline the opening but unfortunately, the ink rubbed off onto the card. I placed a flower Peel Off on the side.
I tried to convey a grass path for my 'legs' to be stepping out. I used a floral vellum for the borders and dark green leaves for the path. The rest of the border was pale green vellum with printed daisies. I am happy with the finished result but............ looking at the cards they looked very bare...........
I found matching Peel Offs to make some corners but unfortunately, because of how I had positioned the Post Box, there was not enough room for the Peel Offs so I rounded the corners and left it at that.
They were posted off this afternoon so watch out for the update........
