Reached my goal of 60 cards by the end of the year! Phew.. It’s been a lot of work, but I think I’m finally able to get a catalog going and start on all those other business resolutions I have.. like actually printing and selling all of these designs I’ve been doing!
This is my last card of the year.. I have a whole line of these going. I really like drawing them. I start with an object, in this case cranes, and fill up the page with swirls and flourishes. It’s very relaxing to me to keep everything balanced.. and I never know what it’s going to look like until it’s done. More to come next year! 2012.. can’t believe it’s here tomorrow.
Initial sketches..
Finished cards..
I could probably live in an ice cream land.. so here are two cards – a Cupcake Land and an Ice cream land. They’re filled with color and pattern and delicious goodies. They look like little worlds dripping of goodness to me. Are there any types of food worlds you would live in? cheese? pizza? coffee? Ooh coffee.. I’m going to have to make that card as well.
Happy holidays! Here’s the snow man card we sent out this year. My husband really loves snow (I know), but I sometimes like some light, pretty snow. It makes it feel like Christmas.. no snow this year yet. The inside of this card reads: Wishing you love, happiness and some pretty snow.
Cynla Cards – The greeting card business has been started! Thanks for all the support from my family and friends in getting this up and running. Please sign up for emails to get updates on my lines and sales. This is going to be a great 2012 and I feel like I’m in a great, motivated, creative place with my designing and I can’t even keep up with myself. Hopefully all of the hard work will pay off. Thanks for reading. ~ Cindy
about me
Hi! Thanks for visiting. Drawing and creating has become a way for me to de-stress. I'd like to do it more often. This is a space for me to share my art and inspiration, my card designs, and to remind myself to stress less.
My card business and moving outside of NYC [gasp] is a new adventure in my life and I'm happy to be able to share it with you. Feel free to drop me an email cindy [ at ] cynla.com, leave a comment or two, or visit my website (www.cynla.com) and shop (cynla.etsy.com).
Happy de-stressing!
