My first blog entry for the year 2017! Happy new year!
I have been thinking of making a card holder to house few of my cards with inspirational quotes. Drawing roses has been my favorite pastime since childhood though I have never got past simple doodling. Nonetheless I decided to use my rose doodles to form the frame for my card holder. Since it is a new year, I salvaged one of the old desk calendars and used it as the base. I was keen to try my hands on paper cutting. Though I didn't have a craft knife I managed it with a simple paper cutter. It took me close to 90 minutes.
I was quite happy with the result. Didn't wish to color the frame as I felt white was classy and the paper cutting would stand out better in white. Here is my card holder. The card it holds is from the "Indian Mouth & Foot Painting Artists" (IMFPA).
There is no denying that its the card that makes the card holder look so lovely. Here is a view of the card holder housing another card from IMFPA.
