Prior to packing my bags and heading across the pond, I decided to use my design skills to create some handmade greeting cards! I started out by drawing up a few designs using black ink on paper; at the time I was really into drawing animals and decided I would create an animal themed set of 6 (well 5 animals and then 1 random hand, because why not). From there I scanned in the designs and brought them into Illustrator. In Illustrator I used the "live trace" tool to create silhouettes of the drawings and added beautiful watercolor backgrounds behind the designs. After that, I printed them up and sold them to friends and family to help raise money towards my travels whilst I am abroad. This was the first time iv'e ever sold any of my artwork, I am really proud of the outcome! Below I've attached some images of the cards (photos are all taken by myself), I may be printing some more in the future so let me know if you are at all interested in purchasing! (sneaky little business promotion) Thanks for reading, talk to you soon!
