Tactile Card


Made this today for my mum's cousin, who is now blind, who will be 89 this month.   A little bit busy perhaps, but I wanted to make it as tactile as possible.  Do you think it is ok?

Ivory hammered card stock, folded to A5 size.  The backing paper, ribbon. bow, buttons and name letters are from Papermania Lemon Sorbet collection.  Matting layer is green mirri.   Martha Stewart punch and an X-cut dimension butterfly punch hopefully will also add a bit of touchy feely, as well as the little heart-shaped buckle.  Flowers were created from a Woodware punch, and the swirls were sizix die.  Flowersoft in the cente of the flowers - so another texture to feel.

It's a perfect card for someone who doesn't see. I have to do the same sort of cards for my Mum.

I don't think it's a bit fussy Mags just beautiful and perfectly tactile with what you've done to it.
