Corona Cards

As we slowly come out of lockdown it's time to show you a couple of Coronavirus cards I made during this time.
The first card was an anniversary card for Miriam. In the past her husband has asked me to show his wife enjoying a glass of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey Whiskey and wearing his beloved team Reading Football Club's kit. This year he suggested I use optician Miriam's latest advert, showing her wearing a mask, visor and white coat and open for business once again. I cut the mask from tracing paper and added some red hearts for good measure. After all, it was an anniversary card!

Elisha turned 17 during the lockdown. His mum requested a birthday card with a picture of him wearing a mask. He has been playing tons of Lego, she told me, and watching Netflix, so I added a Netflix screen to his card. Lels, as his family call him, loved the card and even, somewhat reluctantly, agreed to pose with it!

kind of sad to have a young birthday in quarantine - I had mine in April but I'm far from a kid anymore. Lovely cards which are even nicer during this time.

I hadn't thought of you making Coronavirus cards. What a great idea. I suppose it is a part of life now.
Great work! x

Excellent Corona-cards! I love the 'from veil to visor'. I'm hoping that opticians open up here soon - R desperately needs an eye test! xx

Smiling through adversity! Your cards would be a big help. Stay well! And keep spreading those smiles.

The corona anniversary card is genius, from veil to visor! Sad but heartfelt too. I love the way Elisha posed with his card adopting the same position.

From veil to visor is such a good line for an anniversary card at the moment. Certainly makes their 27th anniversary stand out. Same with the 17th birthday.#mmbc
