In Fine Feather

In Fine Feather_ In splendid condition, lively and cheerful. 'Alan was in fine feather. He had quite recovered from his depression.' 

Siobhan Hyde starts the ball rolling with a fine illustration of a feather with an in keeping surrounding. I feel that i would loose the quality of a piece like this with the water process that i tale, however i have learnt from the past that it is necessary to produce detail, as this does shine through an tie the final outcome together over all, so a piece like this below is worthy of note.

Having collected and finalised my imagery here is the card below in the template i hope to continue with. I have chosen to do this because of the success the last range had with peers and tutors, thus not wanting to deviate too far. Note that the text is in the same fashion as the previous card range, adding continuity:

Here is the front and inside of the envelope developed and adapted from the previous card range project. I have changed the imagery to suit and complement this particular card. I am sticking with this design because it works most effectively and was a success previously.
