It's been a long time since I've done Iris Folding. When I saw this pattern in my local craft store, I thought it would make a fun St. Patrick's Day card.
The white layer was embossed with the Floral Fantasy folder before doing the iris folding. On the Sage Shadow layer I used the Kit #4 Texturz Plate.
The papers used for the iris folding are green foil Christmas wrap, pine needles designer paper (JoAnn's), and a patterned paper I printed off from the internet. The centers of the shamrock leaves are a halographic hot pink paper.
A clear gem is added to the center.
This card measures 5 1/2 inches square.

This card really caught my eye. Beautiful job with the iris folding. Not your usual St. Patty's Day card. Love, love, love it!

Oh! I came to see a doily card and look what else I found! This is the most beautiful sample of iris folding I've ever seen. So well thought out with your choice and placement of the papers. The holographic hot pink centers within the varying shades of green really bring it to life!
