Project Description
My daughter was born February of this year. I had planned on taking a decent break from work, despite the custom of mailing birth announcements looming in my head. One sleepy 2am feeding, the idea of paper dolls came to mind and that was that. Break over!Production Lesson(s)
Mixing vector and bitmap images (in regards to letterpress printing) is a relatively new thing to me. Thankfully Vince at Everlovin' is a never ending wealth of knowledge.
