Art Deco Commission

Something very different from me.................this card has caused me a small headache!!! A man at work asked.....well sort of told me he wanted me to make a card for his wife who is 50!!!! I don't really do commissions but found my self saying yes, when I asked what she liked, he replied to my horror 'Art Deco'.

I looked everywhere for something suitable, the lovely Lynne from Rainbow Ribbons & Crafts lent me an Art Deco CD but I did not like how the images were printing out so I gave it back. I know now I was using the wrong paper!!!

I eventually saw an Art Deco calender on a colleagues desk at work, i begged to borrow it, took it home & photo copied 1 of the images onto photo paper. I matted & layered it onto red mirri board (emergency trip to Hobbycraft yesterday), used my computer to print the sentiment in the closest looking Art Deco font I could find which I then cut out with a nestie tag. The organza ribbon is also from yesterdays visit to Hobbycraft & the gems are from my stash.

This card is really not the type of thing I make so I was well out of my comfort zone, it seems a little basic but I think anymore would have ruined it, I hope his wife likes it!!!

Thanks for looking, please feel free to leave a comment as I love reading them.
