What a gorgeous day - now this is what September should be link. Fingers crossed it lasts to the end of the month.
Well it's Thursday Blog-Hop time again - the days are rushing past so quickly. Although I have been busy making Christmas cards, for today's post I thought I would include another male card. For some reason, I seem to not make many cards for men although I do make cards that could be used for either female and/or male friends/relatives. So another line for the To Do list: make more male-themed greetings cards.
Anyway, back to today's one. I love Art Deco (I enjoy Poirot as much for the plot as the furniture and the buildings) and also am a big fan of leaded glass windows (coloured, pattern, anything), so this combines both. Although Art Deco is really curvy, I feel this card does reflect some of that era. The card-stock is plain white, size A3; on top of that cut slightly smaller than A4 is a sheet of burgundy card-stock. I printed the salutation on plain white paper using a Gothic-style font (not very Art Deco I know, but it looks good) - I fixed this sheet to the burgundy card and then added the cut-out Art Deco topper. I think the colours are very eye-catching.
It wasn't until I photographed this card that I realised that I should have printed the salutation in burgundy coloured ink to compliment the border - or even better practice my Calligraphy skills (well perhaps a lot more practice needed before I commit to something like this.
Don't forget to visit the other Thursday Blog-Hop participants and have at look at their lovely work. I will be back blogging on Sunday. Enjoy the rest of the week.

I love art deco style too, in fact anything vintage, as you know. This card is so different and the stain glass so effective.
