I could see exactly how I wanted to piece it together, even down to the hand drawn border. It's not often I have a clear idea beforehand. Anyway, this is what I made once I was back home.
I know it's a bit excessive to use up nearly a whole pack of zip pulls on one card. But I wanted it to look like a modern art piece. Something you'd find in an art gallery or a trendy designer establishment.
It's clean, graphic, slightly quirky and just the style I love.
As for the trip to Chatsworth. If you're in the area and love your sculptures, do check it out. It's on until the end of October so there's still plenty of time. Here's just a small peek at what we saw
If you've seen Dream up near St Helen's you may recognise the artist behind this very similar piece.
And finally, me posing in front of a piece simply called Lens.
Hope you had an enjoyable weekend filled with creative endeavours too. Thanks for popping by.

Very cool Paul. I have been struggling with ways to use them ans so far the pack is un opened, I love the clean simplicity, it's most often the most effective look. the sculptures look fab.
Paul, you card is amazing...and what I thought, before every reading your text, was, "Hmmmmm! That actually looks like a piece of art, not a card!" So, you succeeded in transforming your vision! Just love it! Thanks for sharing, too, your photos from you day trip to see more art! ;-)
Love this - it's so super simple and looks like it should be in some kind of trendy, modern art museum. Chatsworth...haven't been there for about 20 years...thanks for bringing some memories back!
Just need to pick a fine day and zoom off to Chatsworth - looks good and I love Chatsworth. Thanks for the heads up!
Love that card. Oh extravagant but well worth it. That is classy.
Hugs, Neet xx
wow, striking card and wish I could get to Chatsworth to see those sculptures
Very classy and arty, I think it's great that you worked it all out in the car. Will have to try to get to Chatsworth. Take care.

Love your card, Paul - I haven't seen the zip pulls before. Fab photos too xx
Bold card, good sentiments on the zip pulls. Do they weigh it down?
I haven't been to this year's Chatsworth Sculpture Show, but I've been to a previous show. Wonderful setting.
Paul, this card is fabulous! What a great use of those zip pulls! It certainly does look like a piece of modern art! I love your photos, too!
How brave. Not sure I could bring myself to give a whole pack away. It would have to be to someone special. Very generous of you. I'm sure you realise that I now have to go to chatsworth.
