Project Description

The approach was to create a simple, type driven birth announcement using a gold metallic ink.

Production Lesson(s)

The only issue was having to adjust the line weight in the icons for them to show up clearly (a concern the printer had when using metallic ink). Other than that, my first screen printing project went pretty smooth.”
