Simplify Your Life - Mixed Media Greeting Card

This design features a harmonious blend of vintage and artistic elements, crafted using a mixed media technique.

The background is an aged envelope from the 1980s which had held a 'Muppet Movie' invitation. On top of this, an old, delicate illustration from a vintage cookery book is carefully placed, depicting a simple yet charming kitchen scene or a rustic dish, evoking a sense of homeliness and simplicity.

Vintage stamps are collaged onto the envelope, adding a touch of travel and timelessness, perhaps with faint postmarks that tell silent stories of journeys past. Subtle, soft washes of watercolours in muted earth tones surround the illustration, blending gently into the background and adding warmth and cohesion to the overall design.

The card also features mark-making techniques—gentle, abstract lines, dots, and dashes—perhaps created with ink or pencil, that meander around the central elements, adding texture and a sense of movement without overwhelming the composition. The phrase "Simplify Your Life" is hand-lettered in an elegant, minimalist script, serving as both a title and an invitation to embrace the beauty
