A card for our own Linda (SCS hotwheels) in remembrance of the âsweet friendshipâ she enjoyed with her mother as we approach the second anniversary of her momâs passing. Linda loves pink so I made sure to use some papers with pink in them.
Hope this brings cheer.

That is a gorgeous iris fold teapot. I have never seen one before and you introduced me to it with this stunning version. The gold paper in the folds, handle, spout and lid is so beautiful. It just makes the whole teapot leap out. CAS was definitely the way to showcase this beauty and your sentiment is spot on for this challenge. Beautiful card.

This iris fold is beautiful. Linda will love that teapot shape, too. She always wants to send teapots for every Tuesday challenge. The pink, gold, green and floral work so well together. I am sure she will be asking me to make something like this very soon. Thanks for taking such care to make this lovely card for Linda.

Beautiful card ! I learned to do the Iris fold a couple of years ago in Art Club... forgot all about it. You have inspired me to dig out my instructions and make a few special cards.

Oh, very well done! Iris folding was one of my earlier introductions into card-making, through a couple of kits. Your lovely Asian papers are perfect for a special teapot full of cheer.
