Route 66

 I was asked by my husband to make a card for someone at his workplace who wasn't well and had a very difficult road ahead to get better.
 The card had to be large enough for 150-200 staff to sign so I did an 8x8 concertina card with matching box.
 For the card I have used the Debbi Moore "Cards for Men" CD and decided to use the motorbike image/Route 66 (I thought the Route 66 was appropriate as the gentleman has a long road to recovery and that according to Wikipedia Route 66 is 2,448 miles long). 
 I have inked around all the papers and toppers.  It's a long process for such a big card but I personally hate to see white/cream showing through.
 I finished the card off very simply as if you put too much on by the time it's been around so many people to sign it can look haggered.
I was told by my husband's colleagues I chose the perfect image and words for the card - not bad considering I don't know the recipient!!

    Beautiful design! I doubt that you could have found a more appropriate group of design elements. Very cohesive and beautifully executed. I am sure this will provide many "miles" of comfort to the recipient. Well Done, Well Done! Thanks for dropping this wonderful project into our mailbox here at 613 Avenue Create!

    It's really hard to make a card for someone you don't know, but I think you did really well! For someone who is having a tough road ahead you really chose the perfect image. Fab work! Hugs! xx
