Father’s day origami shirt card

Yet again the photo does not do this card justice. I made this for my dad, who is not having the best of times health wise, to go with his new Tattersall shirt. Dad had a mini stroke back in March and he is making very slow progress. Just when he starts feeling better he is struck down with something else. He has always liked these shirts as they are soft and cosy and even though it is summer time it should help keep him warm.

The background paper is just made up of lines in 3 colours (wine, green and blue) printed onto an ivory/cream paper and edged with aged mahogany.
