My husband came home from work on Friday saying he'd been asked by a colleague if I could make a card for them to sign as a fellow Bus Driver was off after suffering a heart attack. As there are 250+ drives it has to be an A4 card with lots and lots of space for people to sign. I decided to go for a concertina card this time. As the card gets passed around a lot I have to make sure there's not many embellishments on it or they'll end up falling off as they are never as gentle as people that make cards - as we know what time and effort went into making them. Yes, it took about four hours to complete in all but thankfully I found the football theme on my My Craft Studio Celebrations CD and this included the backing papers, images, tag etc. The card has been simply finished off with lots of matting and layering, inking the edges of the card to give illusion of extra layers and to replicate the grass for the football field.
