City Adventure

When you travel to a new city, what do you love to do? I'm a regular tourist in New York since my son goes to college there. We tend to always, among other things:

  1. have coffee
  2. eat donuts
  3. go to museums

So with my own tourist habits in mind, I designed this super clean + crisp card:

I love the  hero_product_link sku="CL977" text="City Adventure"] set! Purely traditional card right down to the kraft colored coffee sleeve. A pink frosted donut = Yes, Please! I don't generally have so much white space on a card but love it when I see other designers using this crisp design. I'm certainly a big fan of cards that are postal friendly...especially when they are sent internationally.

I'm not a big fan of mass production but this could easily be replicated, especially with a MISTI. I've been on a huge watercoloring phase but knew that I would Copic color these images for greater control.

The center panel could be formatted to be dropped into a project life spread...that might just have to be my next project!
