Judy, StampingQueenJAR, hosted a wonderful technique challenge - Iris Folding. I love iris folding and so enjoyed the challenge, Judy!
Mary, Mary917, hosted the color challenge with a color combination of Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macaron, and Night of Navy. Great color combination, Mary!
For my card, I selected a hot-air balloon design for the Iris Folding Challenge. I used the SU Carried Away DSP for the folds, which is perfect as it has all the colors of the color challenge within the paper. Further, the paper is all about hot-air balloons. It was perfect for the design and both challenges.
This design was difficult as the iris folding for the bottom of the balloon does not fully cover the cut out. I was not sure how I would work with that, but I think it's OK.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments!
Bev
P.S. I am getting so frustrated with the SCS system for uploading cards. I'm praying this time the card will post, as it is the fourth time I've tried. Also, the system changes my text to italics and centers it. The system is a major deterrent!

Bev,
this is fantastic you have balloons in balloons with that amazing designer paper! I what I love about the iris folding is that wonderful scalloped edge on the balloon!

This is fabulous, Bev! Your iris folded hot air ballon is fantastic. I used to do some iris folding but haven't in forever. May be time to try it again!

A hot air balloon! Bev, I love everything about this! I'm always looking for cool balloon cards to send to my brother and his girlfriend in Albuquerque. Faved!
And I've had loads of trouble uploading as well. I had to refresh my page about six times before it took my upload. You're not alone!
