Another year and another attempt at making my own cards. The ones I made last night are better than usual so might actually get sent to a few sympathetic friends.
Very simple: bright blue, A4 paper folded into 4, a white dove shape glued to the front, then a red, thin card heart glued to that.
The paper is left overs/scrounged, so I had to pay only for envelopes and glue. If I had to buy materials I expect it would turn out to be more expensive that buying cards (and no contribution to charity), and probably no more environmentally friendly. But making things, being creative, is important in itself so I will definitely have another go next year.
I went to "the "Try Drawing" class at City Lit this year, with "Drawing 1" class next Spring so, who knows, I might be drawing next year's cards!
