Iris Folding - Flower basket - General purpose card

I've been doing a bit of Iris Folding lately as I'm running a card making class for a friend of mine (and her crafty buddies) next weekend. One of the cards I'm teaching is iris folding. At this stage this will be the card we make as its one of the easiest designs with all straight cutting lines. It's also versatile and can be used as an easter card - just replace the flowers with punched out oval circles for easter eggs.

Iris Folding - Frog amongst the flowers

If you look at past posts you will see I really love the technique 'Iris Folding'. From time to time I give it a break but when I do come back to it (and I always do) I remember why I enjoy it. You can make your main image as busy or simple as you like, and each one turns out so unique.

Below is a close up of the iris folding frog.

Below is a small glance at the inside of the card to finish it off.
