I've been invited to a wedding for a long-time friend who has never yet been married. She wants to get married before she is fifty so the date has been set for January. I have wracked my brain on what type of card that I should buy for her. I love those expensive "pop-up" cards but then I thought... what the heck.... go for it and try to make something.
So I thought and thought..... then I recalled that I had a package of used from Casino Rama. They have never been used at my house since my hubby is not much of a card player. He never grew up playing cards like I did.
I got the idea from the cards and of course these are not Tarot, they did not speak to me or anything. I used them to represent to couple to be married. I thought that telling "their story" so to speak might be interesting. I think that I will do it up like an "art" card; no it isn't "fine" art but it is a handmade art card.
I started with a pencil sketch and you will see that it is only a sketch since I did not use any measuring tools. I just eye-balled it because I wanted to get myself moving, to get "into" it, get into the creative process of the "how". All with come together with "baby" steps; that means drawing first then a prototype in my Moleskin too.
Of course, I haven't gotten close to being finished and have added more text already so that I can "finish" the story of their relationship.
