I reallyenjoyed making the card for our xmas challenge so I thought I would make some more along similar lines to my original design. Like I mentioend I am not confident in my work, especially when it comes to trying something new. I usually stick to "safe" central embellishment cards!

I have an order from one of the ladies my mum used to travel to dialysis with, so don't really know much about her. But she wanted 12 general cards and then added an extra card onto the order to give to her husband.

So trying to make something different and more special than those I will be sending to her I tried my first attempt at a concertina card!
I am really unsure of it, I don't know whether it's too busy, not busy enough...etc...

Also how much do I charge? I usually charge £2 for my A5 cards with 10% going to our Downs Group funding.

Please help!I have loads of other ideas along these line but need honest opinions before I make loads of them!

I suppose because it's different from my norm it just doesn't look right. Where I wouldn't worry about areas of blank card normally, the contrast of the "busy" gingham paper at the bottom seems to make the blank card look really blank!!

It's fab! Quite honestly, it's not to my taste personally, but I think it will sell well.

I agree that you can charge more than £2 for it - it is in essence 3 cards worth!

Sus, x
