    What a brilliant card. Love the vintage distressed look. The card fold is wonderful and how you have used the different areas for different elements.

    Aww thank you so much Lisa. The birds relate to him being with the RSPB and the scrunched up newspaper relate to the fact his working life was involved in newspapers as photographer/reporter. Xxx

      Haha! We finished the conservatory then I started on the desk in the dining room n got distracted! I hate the dining room doors they have glass in them so I see the mess everytime I go passed. Still not done it n I've got another spring cleaning mess in the craft room, invoices everywhere waiting to be filed, lol. I gave up and made a card instead! Thank you for your lovely comment Barbara he loved it. I've just ordered a box of mixed card from PD n there is some Buff card in it, it was brilliant on those samples you did. xxx
