Paper Opera Business Cards

Posted on July 22, 2014 by lksukany

Once the Paper Opera website and logo was created, business cards seemed like the next step to make in this new business-like venture.

I had to change the design a bit for the image to work visually as a tiny stamp.

I used RubberStamps.net and paid $15.45 to get my image made into a 1.5″ x 1.5″ rubber stamp.

I created the business cards using hand torn paper, typing, and stamping. I first drafted the layout, stamped, and typed. I wanted to include the business name (Paper Opera), the website (paperopera.com), and the tag line (art, music, stories).

I tore the cards using the edge of my ruler and flattened using the weight of the metal typewriter.

I hand stamped the backs of the cards using a small rubber heart stamp.

Now I had the front and back with the layout I wanted.

I still needed something “Paper Opera” about it – like a small detail that would be a little dramatic.  I used the poppy red prismacolor pencil and on the front of the card, I colored in the man’s shoes. On the back, I colored in all of the heart stamps alternating each row using the crimson red and poppy red. I really enjoy creating small details like this.

And the finished product!
