Sometimes, I want to take a break from lettering, illustrations and colors. What else can I do that will still make me creative and will allow me to practice? I can’t think of any aside from creating something vintage. What? What did I say? Hmm.. Good idea! How about creating Personalized Vintage Cards? Okay. Let me give it a try.
Some of the vintage things I searched for via internet are the following:
- stamp
- old clock
- butterfly
- vintage icons
- banners
- logo designs
- compass
- type writer
- old camera
- retro vintage vectors
- hipster logo
- retro icons
- washi tape designs
I made sure the theme will revolve in Earth colors: white, yellow, brown, bronze, gray, black and the like. Choosing of colors is very crucial here because if just in case you like to put an icon that is color red or bright bluegreen, it might ruin your design. But, if the chosen color falls to dark red and rusty bluegreen, it’s perfect!
Disclaimer: Some of the icons I printed here are free for personal use. But just in case I printed something that I need to credit the owner, please send me a message. I don’t intend any harm and I respect that all credits belong to you alone. Thank you in advance.
So here’s my Handmade and Personalized Vintage Cards.
Can you find the difference? Yes, there is!
In creating such design, you might consider adding some dry media like cloths, textured gift wrappers, dried flowers and leaves, crumpled paper, yarn or the same. If you tried other materials, it will not only enhance your creativity but it will also widen your arts and design ideas!
There! I just made something vintage and not colorful design this time. A good refresher for me to take a break to all the colors I am used to.
