Ricks Framed Plastered Wall Birthday Card

This card measures 5ins x 5ins and uses a white linen effect hand cut card blank

This card is just a bit of fun made for Marc’s partner Rick’s birthday.  Marc and Rick are in the middle of refurbishing their cottage in deepest Worcestershire and while waiting for the damp course to be done they did a quick wallpaper strip and paint over job in the hall just to fresh it all up.

Rick had to do a bit of temporary plastering, but rather than cover it up, decided to accentuate it by painting it grey, to go with the rest of the paintwork and then frame it, using old picture frames, again painted grey, leftover from his various exhibitions/shows.  How brilliant is that?

So, in homage,  I too painted a wooden embellishment frame grey, placing it over a patch of grey card that I’d added a swirl or two of PA glue to give the plaster some texture to create the card.
