whimsical wednesday!

only one card was created today but it took a long time because it's quite a card.  last night i began thinking of what materials to use and what the card should look like.  the finished product turned out better than imagined.  the card is tall and narrow as i used a wine bottle bag for the card itself.  it's brown like a paper bag and has purple grape clusters all over it.  a great foundation.  the front was plastered with stickers of all varieties on the grapes.  inside a pocket was created from the bottle of the bag and the greeting part of the card was put on a mini card that can be removed to turn over and read (the front of the mini card is of a pine tree with gold pinecones).  more stickers decorate the top and bottom across both sides of the card.  and the fronts of other cards, one christmas and one valentine's day, were added.  these had friendship messages.  more stickers on the cards and stickers on the pocket. stickers, stickers, stickers.....ducks, smiley faces in all shapes, sizes and colors, kitty cats, flags, flowers, bunnies, some of the united states, hearts.  oh, this card is magnificent!  it's large too so it had to be put in a large manila envelope to be mailed.  it's been mailed to a special friend.  a friend with alzheimer's disease.  this card will offer much to look at and touch.  i hope it is enjoyed as much as i enjoyed making it.
