Martin talk us through his ‘Card Art’

 

‘Card Art’ is about producing pictures using card and craft tools; pencil, scalpel, ruler, scissors, and glue. ‘Card Art’ is fun, good for relaxation, where you can use your imagination to get great results.

 

Each ‘Card Art’ project is unique and produces excellent results. The pictures can be given as gifts, mounted on walls.
