Festive Bikes

A friend who used to design bikes with hubby now designs for his own company. He asked me to make some Christmas cards featuring ‘Toronto’ and ‘bikes’ for his global clients. I had a good laugh when he asked if I could make ‘non-cutesy’ cards. I guess it was time I took a break from making cute cards and tried something more elegant and serious. LOL I asked a graphic artist friend to whip up a Toronto skyline for this project and of course I had the perfect bicycle image to go along with it. I kept the overall design the same for all three cards but varied the colour of the sentiment, metallic stitching and embossed bikes.
