illustrated flower cards

Two good things that came from my sick day:

Spending an afternoon drawing flowers makes me feel like a fairy. And sketching blooms is good medicine. Because it is very hard to draw flowers and not feel incredibly cheerful. Unless you are drawing thistles...

  5. I really like these! To be honest, it bothers me that the ascenders and decenders cut through the other letters. Perhaps you could convert the script to outlines then cut through parts of the ascenders & descenders to make room for the other letters.

    They are SOOOO beautiful! I love your work so much. :-) I'm especially proud knowing that you are a fellow WCTC Graphic Design alumni.

  6. Please dont change the ascenders and decenders(sorry Brianna). When I first saw these cards that was actually my favorite part of the card. Todays cards are so often plain and boring. I judge art by how it makes me feel and the ascenders and decenders is was took these cards from beautiful to glorious!

  7. I sometimes get stuck when I'm trying to think of words for you. Because you deserve a unique one. And all the ones I know seem drab and dull in comparison to you. You need one brilliantly colorful, yet light and does sit heavily in your mouth. A word that comes easily but always said in a sort of half whisper, because it is such a delicately magical word...a word that with just a few syllables creates a smell of wildflowers, a taste of fresh fruit....like....raspberries, and a huggly snuggly feeling round your middle.
    ...... I will devote my creative writing abilities to molding a word to your beautiful Becki-ness. *sparkley smile*
