Now for this week’s edition:

good_show

Design: Good Show
Artist: Eunice Moyle
Inspiration: Considering the artistic acrobatics and feats of strength, skill and endurance that go into putting on a Good Show, a fine card is a fitting reward.
Who to send it to: A lovely lion-tamer, a serious sword swallower, a truly talented trapeze artist, or a high-lonesome singer out on the circuit.
Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: We thought of entitling it "Break a Leg," but that was too risky!
Favorite detail: The dainty, teeny feet of the daring, dashing trick rider.
Why letterpress? Why, no other method would suitably show the fineries of such a dashing an Edwardian equestrian.
Don’t forget to post your comment, and tune in next week, same time, different stationery, to see if you’ve won!

Now for this week's edition:

wallowweb

Design: Wallowing Pig

Artist: Eunice Moyle

Inspiration: When it comes to making cute, punny cards about pigs, the sty’s the limit!

Who to send it to: Someone who’s happy as a hog in humus, and who’s out there bringin’ home the bacon!

Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: Once we penned this little piggy, we felt the other ideas were a little too hammy, salty, or boorish.

Our favorite detail:  Love the slightly sloppy pink watercolor effect on the pig, and the concentric swirls of swill in his swine sty.

Why Letterpress? Flat printing would be such a boar.
