Wow - last week didn't go as planned...so finally here are the new cards and tags! The sun finally poked its head through the clouds long enough for me to get some photos of these - yay! I had a bit of a hard time photographing these actually (self inflicted) as I was so happy with the actual items that I didn't want to let them down with the photos. I ended up keeping it simple and fairly uniform.
They are printed on a beautiful paper that is 40% recycled, 55% Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified. It is nice and thick and has a texture like watercolour paper - I love it!!
They are all listed in the shop now - you can find them here... I have high hopes for these :) Everyone that has seen them here has loved them and they have been 'flying out the door'. I just hope that translates online too. Fingers crossed! And I would definitely appreciate your help with getting the word out - if you know anyone that might like them or if you would like to post about them on your blog etc that would be awesome! Please feel free to use any of the images for that too. Thank you :)
PS - If you are in Turkey and would like to buy some the cards you can just contact me at thelightgarden@gmail.com and we can organise it that way - you can write in Turkish if you would like too. No problemo :)
On Wednesday I will post about working with a professional printer if you are interested (just finishing off writing it now). And I also have some making planned...Yashar's birthday party is next weekend so some party related things are in the works...let's just hope all goes to plan this week :)

These are beautiful! I will have to buy a couple!!! :)
What company did you use to get them printed out?
I totally love the deer cards! Is there anything written inside them? I ask that because I speak French and would prefer a blank page to an English text that my family wouldn't understand anyway!
Thank you Anna Joy! I used a professional printers here in Istanbul...which for some reason the name of escapes me at the moment. Anyway I'm guessing that they wouldn't be much use to you - I saw on your profile you are in the States - but if you are still interested let me know and I can look it up for you.
And thank you so much Catherine! I think they are my faves too! Yes they are all blank inside.

Thank you Carolyn! For these I used a combination of hand drawn/inked and illustrator. I often use photoshop for colouring too but not for these particular ones. I'm going to have a post tomorrow with a little about my process if you are interested...
