But the piece of acetate was too large for a normal card (it was originally cut from a 12 x 12) so I folded a blue A4 card in half lengthways and used that as a base, running the acetate through my xyron to stick over the rather stormy picture (perhaps typically British!) and the deckchairs (deserted - equally typically British?). Just the addition of the ribbon and the tag.
I had to scan the card because there was no chance of getting a photo because of reflection on the acetate, but this means that the words top and bottom have been chopped a bit (down by the seashore).

And now I have a problem - I have no envelopes for this card to fit into - and I don't think I can make one because even a 12 x 12 wouldn't be long enough.
