Beatles Concertina Birthday Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you have had a great weekend and are ready for the week ahead. We had an amazing time in London with our friends. We were there to see a Bootleg Beatles concert at the Royal Albert Hall with the Liverpool Philharmonic orchestra. The concert was just amazing and suited the venue beautifully. While in London we managed to fit in: a Beatles themed walking tour, a London by night bus ride and  a trip to see The Play that Goes Wrong. There were lots of meals and coffee too,  as well as the odd gin and tonic.

We met up with my cousin and her partner at the Royal Albert Hall she was there at the concert for her birthday. A group of 8 of us shared a meal at the Verdi Italian Restaurant which is in the Royal Albert Hall. Well I had to make my cousin a card and it needed  to be small and compact.


I decided to make a concertina card. Of course I had to use the Vera Lane Studios Beatles images again. The backing paper is a picture of a wall here at home and the words that come with the images were added over the top and changed to be white to look like graffiti.  


This is the outside of the card. It just needed to say Happy Birthday. 


Then the card opens like this. The finished card is small when folded ad fits nicely in a hand bag. 


George. 


John


Paul


Ringo


I was pleased with this card. My cousin liked it a lot and it did fit in her handbag. It was such a good evening I want to do it all again.

Have a great week. 

I would like to enter the following challenges: 

Happy Crafting
