How It's Done~

I'm busy putting the finishing touches on the Dream Speak Design Spring 2010 card collection~ Here's a behind-the-scenes peek at how I create each handmade card using cut paper, metallic ink, and white gouache.


First things first~ A pot of jasmine green tea to get the creative juices flowing~

 Set the incense burning~

Some fresh flowers~

Music: Agricantus, Baaba Maal, Marie Antoinette Soudtrack~

And I'm ready to go!
