You can't tell from the photo, but the card back is solid brown. The illustration is a UV spot varnish that isn't always entirely visible depending on how you view the card.
Please don't tear apart my website if you decide to check it out -- I'm in the process of rehauling it and it's patched together for now. :)
@Geri Oh! My english sucks, I didn't meant it that way! I meant that the design itself is more "suitable" for gals than for guys. Please read the comment again, hope you understand it now :) Cheers!
Haha... I read it the way you did too at first, which made me laugh a little, but it makes sense now, though I don't think they are overly "girly." Nice job on your cards Geri, and looks like you hired a good printer to do them too.
I got them printed at print100.com... for a grand total of $35. They can't do colour matching or PMS (CMYK only), but for UV spot varnishes, foil stamping, and quick turnarounds, they're incredible. And for $35 it sounds too good to be true, but honestly, you've got to try them out!
Wow... thanks for sharing. I've never liked any online printers (and I've tried the popular ones), especially for anything fancy-like. I want to do some cards with illustration on the back as well as postcards so for $35 can't hurt to try, before looking at more expensive offset printing options here in town.
@Geri: I am glad it's ok now :) Have fun with your new cards!
@Shyama: Not sure if you tried this one, but I've got mine from tasteofinkstudios.com and they did an amazing job. Especially the paper they've used is extra thick with hardened edges.
At first I thought that black detailing was velvet. The whole thing just looks so soft and inviting. I'd definitely want to hire you if I saw that card!
Not embossed, just UV spot varnish that seemed to go slightly off register, so depending on the angle it looks like a little drop shadow. I have the same photo, except larger, posted here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hellogeri/4679936592/

Want to know a dirty little secret, though?

Is it actually embossed or is that just the type treatment? Love it.

It totally looks embossed. Is it actually? Any more shots of the cards online to view? Great job!
