Got a new design? - share it!
Feb 28^th, 2010, 10:39am

What have you been working on lately? Got anything new that you are rather proud of?

Post a link and tell us about it!

Here's one of mine recently approved:
http://artist.greetingcarduniverse.com/-St+Patricks+Day+Invitation+-+FUNNY-greet ing+card-570510?pid=570510&page=1&ref=cb_card_title

The new thing I tried was using the edge of the photo to make a recessed frame look.

Who's next?

My cards are using my pet photography that I incorporate into my graphic designs. I also own a Chinese Crested and a Doberman...so they tend to be in alot of my designs. But here is a new St Patricks card that I made using her

I also turned this into an animation that I use all around places like My Space to get attention to my work:

When you go to loof at it, you'll see I've also created the card using a couple other dogs I've photographed
Love to know what you think,
Renae

BTW, Doreen....I LOVE your card
Tom, I like your effect...it looks like the inside photo is floating.

Great cards everybody!

I have been playing around with a different style that I am calling my "Story Book Art" It is a bit different than my usual cartoonish style. Here is my latest creation...

Sorry, I can't show it to you yet. I have just finished a card and am getting ready to submit it. I sure could use some vector lessons. But I am really happy with my kitties. Sandra F

I like this one because I designed all by myself : ) as much as I love my sister's photography, sometimes it's nice to have one of my own creations. By the way, I love everyone else's stuff! Especially the panda and the mermaid!
