Another MAN-day Monday to share with you today, and this time its a good luck card. One of the guys at work is going back to work in Latvia. He’s been in the Centre for years so when I heard that he was going back I simply had to make him a little card. For this one I even sketched it out first as I was feeling particularly inspired one day.
My original thought was to use a stamp for the plane, but the only stamp i had was teeny tiny, but i found an old 6×6 paper stack which had this aeroplane on one page. The tones were perfect for a more subdued, masculine feel so all the patterned paper i used was from this stack. I even did my research and found that the Latvian flag looks like this….
…so i incorporated this into the design. easy peasy.
The good luck bit i just drew. Sometimes you just can’t get a stamp that is just quite right, and well, when the laptop is all the way in another room a pen just seems easier (at least for lazy old me).
All the best Emil. If you are ever back, come and visit us!
Can you be more specific about the content of your article? After reading it, I still have some doubts. Hope you can help me.
