Bon Voyage

Post by maureenmcn »

Card for a friend who at age 45 has decided to quit her job and home (divorced and children flown the nest) and travel the world before it's too late. Go girl! 8-)

A5 Landscape card, patterned paper, embossed label, decoupaged topper created from free colouring page, flower created with Accent Essential Cart and distress ink, leaves svg curtesy of this forum.

Have made a sample rose (susanbluerobot) and leaves (single leaf I think from HeatherM which I copied, pasted and union) to go with the card but not quite sure where I am taking the idea yet, possibly a posy or bouquet. Any suggestions welcome.

Luckily this card and hopefully the roses can be given by hand so I made a box for the card. The box can also be used for posting if the material used is strong enough. In the UK postage on anything above a certain thickness is quite high so if I can get away with using an ordinary good quality envelope or 'Jiffy' bag I just enclose a note telling the recipient how to coax the petals etc back into shape. I have attached an svg for a box suitable for a UK A5 card - finished size of box 21 x 16 x 3 cms approx.

Oops!

Just noticed that only the box base is showing on the SVG attachment. You can make the top by just increasing the size by a few mm. I will endeavour to post the complete svg asap.

Thank you all for the lovely comments.

Have posted a photo of my roses made into a posy on the Project Gallery under Miscellaneous.

Have updated the svg file for the A5 box. Should be on two pages. Page one is base and Page two is top.
