This card (and box of course!) was requested by a lady who's seen lots of my commission cards over the last few months and wanted something special for her husband. The main brief I was given was 'travel' which is definitely very different from anything I've done in the past, so as usual I had a bit of a panic before coming up with this design. First the box....
which you'll notice is a perfect match for the card itself...
Once again the card is 8 inches square, and all the images were sourced from the internet. Thank goodness for Photoshop as I couldn't find a map background that I liked. This one started out larger and multicoloured so I cropped it and converted to a sepia tone so the landmark photos would stand out more. If I'd been better prepared I would probably have asked about destinations that were significant to John, but as it was I just chose some iconic, easily recognisable images. I've since heard that Egypt, the USA and possibly Italy do feature in the couple's travel plans, so I hope John likes it! I'm also hoping he's not a big stamp-collector as he might notice that the postcard says its from Hawaii but the stamp is Belgian (Photoshop strikes again, lol!)....All that aside I'm really pleased with the way this has turned out :-)
Yes well that is certainly a different sort of travel card, I'm sure John will love it.
