Hard to see in the photo, but these are the cards I've come up with so far for Tony. The two on the right have engraved cork; the top one is a wrought iron fence and the bottom one is a leaf. The top left one is simple with three metallic blue squares with bronze eyelets in the centers. I don't like the bottom left one at all, and I probably won't even send him that one. Even though the three squares one is the most simple I've made so far, I think it's my favorite!
My brother got back to me on some masculine themes I could use on these cards: beer, naked women, hunting, fishing, sports and big screen TVs. I thought that was pretty funny! But even funnier is that I have graphics for each of these themes that I can engrave into the cork!
My goal is to come up with 2 kraft, 2 cream&brown and 2 black&white cards to send him to choose from. I'm debating on including an envelope of "make-your-own" elements that he can pick and choose from to design his own card. I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not.
Funny thing is.... these cards look alot like sympathy cards to me, and I think I may submit them for publication as such!
Ummmm... my paragraphs are being eaten again so this post is one big paragraph. I hate it when that happens!
