Easter Egg Iris Folding Simplified

Hello my dear stamper Friends:
I hope you had an excellent Easter week...

I posted this card at the French blog: "Un brin de créativité"  for Memory Box for Easter and it features a version of a  "simplified Iris Folding" technique!

"Iris Folding" is supposed to use folded colored stripes of paper to form a design.
The center forms an "Iris".

In my simplified version, I used ribbon instead of cutting and folding paper and the design is filled with diagonal lines instead of going around...no need to use a pattern with this simple way...

I score some lines, added some liquid pearls and a flower...

I hope you will give it a try in case "Iris folding" is too intimidating for you or do not have the time to invest in this beautiful technique.

    Cool way of iris folding! Gorgeous card! I clicked back on your other iris folds - all beautiful! I used to iris fold a lot when I first started crafting and I still enjoy it but don't do it as often any more. I love seeing it!

    Beautiful card! This is still one of my favorite techniques (and the one of the techniques that started me on card making) But I haven't done much lately because it is a bit time consuming...so I really like this idea...maybe I'll give it a go again. Thanks for the inspiration.
