MAKING OF GREETING CARDS - 2019

For past 30 + years I have been making greeting cards. Earlier around 80 cards now around 40 cards. Every year there is new material or idea.

This year it is this --



Once idea is crystallized, material is brought and work starts around first day of Navratri. It takes around 5 to 6 days to make the cards. I generally post immediately after Dussera so as to receive them around Diwali.




The design should be simple but attractive - 






There need not be different designs, as different families are going to receive them the design can be one for a Diwali season. 








Then carryout dressings and some artistic tweaking - 

Add some outline and underline - Artists will understand the language






Stick the niceties -

Write the salutations, few words to connect and envelop it!

Greeting cards are ready  - write the address, stamp them and dispatch them on time -
