Imagine to Janet

I actually created this card (blank) and env. years ago, but didn't know what to do with it.

So, for my 40 Days of Imagine, I decided to make it into a theme for Janet, since I had some Lennon stamps.

"imagine" on the blue part is in bleach.

Background lyrics are with pointed pen and gouache, with an overlay of blue using a folded pen.

Blank env.

Close up.

Abstract design, Clear env.

this insert was a piece i originally tried to do as an abstract bicycle. Didn't like how it was turning out, so I made it into a card for a clear env. (from 11/2020)

I feel like I struggle with Leanne's name, so it seems like it turns out the same every time I use my folded pens. Looks nice here, but i think i need to experiment more.

Backside. These abstract pieces work best when lettering the address, etc. small, otherwise it looks like the name is trying to compete with the design.

Having fun with strokes, etc. to make a b-day card.
