Karate Birthday



I've made a few crossover cards in the past so when my BIL Steve's birthday was due I decided to use one for his card. Steve is a Karate Blackbelt & a Sensei and these crossover cards are ideal to make a ghi shaped card. I adhered 2 cards together and cut opposing diagonals. Although you can't see it on the photo, I added a wide strip of card with faux stitching on it across the inside back 'neck' edge & down the two diagonal cut edges (click on photo to enlarge detail) . I added a mini 'label' on the neck edge, wide black ribbon for the belt and the SEKU (Shotokan of England Karate Union) logo to the font. I computer generated a greeting on Safmat and adhered it to the inside back. Super simple but just the job!!
Carts used:
SEKU logo- George
