Card Design is from a book called 460 Iris Folded Cards to Make by Maruscha Gaasenbeek and Tine Beauveser. So far I have made 3 from the book (albeit two of them more than once) so I still have a way to go.
Embossing folder is by Sam Poole for Creative Expressions called 'Bark'.
All the papers were snippets from my stash.
NOW!
Mother Hen is preening her feathers here. My daughter (Fluff) Faye Wynn-Jones has taken her considerable colouring skills to You Tube and produced her first tutorial. Watch and listen to some soothing music whilst she brings a Snowman to life before your very eyes. You will be amazed at what Faye does with the Snowman's scarf. Here is the link. Enjoy. I Did.
Stay safe and well
Hugs

It's been years since I've done Iris folding, but this little bird looks fantastic! You did a great job and good for you using an embossing folder too!
Oh that is adorable! What lovely iris folding, I've not done any for ages. I just love that magic moment when you turn your work over to the right side and see the finished design.
Off to watch Fluff's video.
What a talented family, I have done a bit of iris folding, but this Robin is clever, love the papers you’ve used, and love your daughters colouring xxx
Wow so pretty, only tried this once years ago, love this. xx
A fabulous design and I your iris folding - the colours of your robin are beautiful.
I haven't done any iris folding for ages. That's how I started cardmaking with an iris folding card kit I bought off ebay and thought I would 'give it a go'. The rest, as they say, is history!

This is awesome, Valery. I love the papers you chose and it really brought this bird to life. It looks so labor intensive. Your daughter's snowman is so pretty. I couldn't catch the markers she used but she did a great job.

That is an amazing card Mrs A. I’ve never got on with iris folding, I always end up with something very bulky.
