You made the City happy

I made cards for my niece and nephew to show them how happy the City was about their recent spring break visit. (Hinted about in this previous post.) This one's Henry's:



The idea was to use Bristol paper, which is stiffer than your average sheet of paper, so I could carve a window in the front (above, for Henry's card) that would show the grey city outside, and then you'd open it up to see the colorful city inside (below).



Here's the front of Hazy's card:



And the inside:



(It was supposed to be more obvious the building is smiling, but that was before I plastered it with Hello Kitty stickers.)



They got them yesterday and really dug them. Hooray!
