Edited - Feb 09 New ATC tecnique for Monthly ATC S

Here's a graphic of a completed ATC:

Some people have asked if this must be a heart and I am asking that for this swap - it should be a heart. I would like to keep to the theme of Valentines Day (Month) - Thanks!

I've found a new technique that is very easy to do and looks fabulous! It's called Iris Folding and looks almost like quilting with paper. It's called Iris Folding because the final product looks like a camera shutter (the stutter is called the iris of the camera, thus "Iris Folding") might look.

I decided that this swap would be for Feb as a birthday present to myself and because Feb is Valentines day. :-)

Standard rules apply. You will make one ATC for 2 partners. ATCs must be 2.5" x 3.5". The medium is the Iris fold. Please make the back of your card very sturdy to support the Iris Fold and be sure to sign the back with your name, Title of swap and date made.

Most of all: Have fun! And don't flake! Though I am sure you won't.
