Dear friends of ours celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary yesterday and so I decided to make them a very, very special card.
I have been thinking about the design of this card for several months now. I have discarded a number of designs along the way for variety of reasons. The only criteria that I had for this card was that it had to be so very different from anything that I had ever made before and very personal to the recipients.
Where to begin:
Marriage year: 1979
Anniversary: Pearl
Other details: Wedding car was a red Citroen 2CV
Not much to go on but at least it was a start.
Six months ago whilst surfing on the net I found a paper model for a Citroen 2 CV. I saved the template for later use.
The next decision to be made was the type of card to design – rectangular or square, flat or 3d – the possibilities were endless.
I eventually decided on an exploding box, with the 2CV as the main feature.
Using my previously found template and the print and cut feature on the Robo, I ended up with a flat looking 2CV which I then coloured with water colour pencils.
The assembled model.Now as this was such a big project ( 3 work days in total), I will show the rest over the next few days.
Don´t forget to check back tomorrow for the next installment.
