A few more large cards for my sister who left a stash of paper here a few years ago. I have been making cards for her off and on over the past few years and I am redoubling my effort to make the supplies into cards for her. She has a stash of large envelopes so I am simply making the cards for her. Lately I have been making all occasion cards in order for them to be flexible enough for any occasion that might arise for her. These two feature dark cards with decorative paper backgrounds. I added a brown ribbon to the first one before I adhered it to my card. The second one has an added layered cardstock strip - black over green - with a white brad on the left hand side. The photos are both from photo calendars which one of my other sisters makes up every year that feature her photography from the past year. I have layered the photos with coordinating layer of paper and then added them to the card using 3D foam tape. I did add a folded piece of green mesh tape to the first one for a bit more texture and colour. Therese
