Twas the night before Grandhunk #3's birthday and ...
I knew I wanted to make him a card.
Then I thought ... how about a cut-out card?
Bedtime so I scribbled this quick sketch and slept on the idea.
I've seen commercial cut-out cards but have never made one.
You may have noticed I am not an exact person ...
more like the "near-enough" type.
So this was not a "slam-dunk" project in any way,
more of a "wish & a prayer" project, but I started.
I used a single 6 x 16" sheet of white heavy mixed media paper.
I folded in half and half again.
Using a ruler, sketching 1 letter on each of the 4 sections.
Being a better "tear-er" than cutter, I took my time cutting.
I was glad for only four letters!
The "C" looked funny square, so
I used a washi tape roll to round the corners.
Three folds and it's ready for an envelope.
It could be painted, collaged or whatever, but ...
I think I will leave it white, or ...
maybe make it black, Zack's favorite color.
I wrote on the back side.
So, mission accomplished.
And another step by step?
Happy Birthday to Irene Rafael and YoYo Ma!
A smile for Wednesday ...
