Notecards for Greg

Well, my co-worker's birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks and I wanted to create something for his birthday and as a thank-you for his help in learning a new curriculum. :)

It's not easy to create something for a guy, but I thought I'd take the chance and create some blank note cards for him. He's the type who may NEVER use note cards, but oh well... they're made. :)

In the end, I figured that leaves weren't too feminine and I thought a nice monogram of his name, Greg, would be appropriate. The letter turned out mottled (no, it's not Papertrey Ink! LOL)... but in a way, I like the mottled look... somewhat "distressed"...and rugged, in my opinion. :)

Here they are...

Here's a close-up of one of the cards.

Thanks for looking and/or commenting! :)
