Printing with Love.


With the first samples of my Valentines cards completed, the next stage is production. The screen came out quite nicely but with some areas having imperfections, this in-fact creates a very hand-crafted feel to the design and a sense of uniqueness which has turned out nicely. I've decided to thicken up the ink so it is more opaque, the first samples I produced were incredibly hazy. I've also got down to ordering my envelopes and the cello bags from World of Envelopes, they seem like a good company and should be delivered by monday. Oh and someone insisted that they take my picture whilst I was printing.

For the Love.




For Valentines day I have been proposing producing some cards. Here they are, well the designs anyway. To be screen printed onto square shaped cards about A6 square, the cards have a running theme, perhaps not conventional but would appeal to a niche audience whom take valentines in a more humorous sense, the theme of 'Multiple Loves'.
