Jigsaw Card ...



... the actual card is A4 card stock, folded in half to make A5. The picture on the front is one of my own taken at the Coylet Inn, Loch Eck at the back end of last year. This has been nestabilitied (?!) and matted and 3D onto white card that has had green ink round the edge. The sentiment is also "greened". Finished off with three green buttons and an organza ribbon. This card is for a older gentleman who was rushed to hospital yesterday with breathing difficulties. He likes jigsaw puzzles, so I printed out the same picture and used my Wizard die to make the jigsaw, which I have put in a cello bag. Thanks for looking.
