UK Greetings Card Final Designs Design Board 1

UK Greetings Card Development Design Board 2

To begin I drew up some illustrations and then picked which I think would work best cut out of felt. I then traced them in illustrator with the pen tool to prepare them for the laser cutter.

When choosing the colours of felt I had a limited amount of colours available to me in the shop but fortunately they work well together.
