I made  this  card  for  a  friend  who likes  to  collect  green  Wedgwood  so  the  base of  the  card had  to be  green  . I used  a  die  for  shop  fronts  from Tonic  and  formed  the  shop  .  The panels  and  open  sign  are extra dies .I used  a mixture of  paper  and  card  and  dies  for  the base  and  added  images . The  paper on  the  side is to  wrap  the  goods in  ! This  card folds  flat  to  go in  an  envelope  . I have used  this  design  to  make  several  kinds of  shops  and bars  . They  are  fun  to  make  and  good  for  the imagination  as  well  as  being personal .
