That is so pretty! She is going to love it!
The inks (especially the yellow and green) are like neon bright. What did you use to achieve this effect?

Very pretty, though the colors are a bit extreme, but maybe it's my screen. ;D

Nice! That A is so ornate!! But the yellow background kind of took away the nice yellows in the A... Maybe black or white would make it pop more!

I copied the letter A from old reference material, using Black waterproof ink, and then coloured with Winsor & Newton Acrylics.

I agree, but I had no choice. The card had already been bought, and I was given the yellow envelope for lettering!

Stunning work, Ken!

I think I need to get a vision board sort of thing and start printing all these pretty pieces so I can look at them everyday!
