Project: Peacock Cards (Photos)

[texchan]

The latest hand made card design. I wanted something super simple, overall, so that the papers I used would kind of take center stage. I ended up making a set of 8. (9 total, counting the one I made as a practice template.) They are all in different background colors. I think there were 2 orange, 2 pink, 2 blue, and 2 yellow. And the bird on them is either blue or green, depending on what I thought went better with the background colors.

Anyhow, hopefully they aren't too lame. =P





Orange and pink cards together, so you can see one of each color bird.



Close-up of orange card.



Close-up of pink card. The actual pink color isn't this neon-looking in person. It just photographed that way -- which will teach me NOT to photograph my completed cards when it's almost dark outside! >.O



Interior of cards. Each one of the 8 has a different type / pattern of paper inside. But all the papers coordinate with what I used in making the feathers.



Envelope for the cards.

Very cute! You should so do a tarot set! <3

Thanks! Hmm ... a tarot set. That's a great idea! I'll have to look into that. Not sure if I have the artistic ability needed, but ... Hee! =)

Those are so cute, I really love those paper patterns.

Thanks!! I really liked those particular papers, too. I'm a sucker for different kinds of paper, anyhow.

I'm working on a new design with shoes on them. Not sure yet how they will turn out, but the cards have a painted background this time. First time mixing that element in ... so it might be interesting and fun. =)

I'll echo what the others have said, they are cute! ^_^ Have you thought of trying some of those kozo papers? The kind with the leaves and flower petals or metallic fibers in them. I got some to use as backgrounds for some cutouts of chibis. Fun paper! ^_^

Thanks!

Oooooh! I haven't thought about those types of papers. I do love stuff like that, though, so it would be fun to use. Definitely food for thought. Yum! =D
