It’s another theme challenge at Less is More this week. We’d like to see your clean and simple cards based on ‘spring’. Now, because I know what’s coming up in the next challenge I didn’t want to do a similar image and decided for this theme to play around with some typography. Here’s what I came up with:

I created the file using Adobe Illustrator as I wanted to use my laser cutter to score the outlines, but you’d be able to create a similar outcome in a word processor, print and trace. I traced with black pigment pens before I coloured the piece with a mix of watercolours, fine-tip pens and coloured pencils. Mat and mount onto a card.

The quote is from the inestimable American comedian, Robin Williams.
