Hummingbird on Business Card Abstract

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks;

Nothing as crazy as the Drunken Chicken.


This time the background is an abstract done in Post works of a photo of my business card.

Then I added a Broad-billed Hummingbird perched on a branch using CS5 with the aid of
the eraser tool & background eraser at various opacities..

Good enough to get me released from Belleview . Yeah, one for the good guys!

Comments welcome and always appreciated.

Keep smiling

Nicely done, Gus. It'd make a great card for someone named Bill.

Gus, Great looking business card. I think it suits you perfectly. Love the background, the outline and of course the hummer. Nice job! Also you have given me an idea for a theme- Design your OOTB business card!! I just posted it on the board.

[Judy Howle]

What a neat business card idea! I love the background texture and the hummer goes well with it!

[Julie Kenward]

It's definitely "you" Gus!

[James Shadle]

I like it.
It's not over the top and you left plenty of room for text.

I need new business cards, thanks for the idea. I think the theme will be a lot of fun.

Nice work, Gus. Great idea re business cards.

Thought I was editing previous post to remove email text behind Gus Hallgren??

[James Shadle]

I hope that's not your real phone #.
Gus, I think it looks even better(for it's intended purpose)with the text on it.

Hi Folks;

Thanks for all the kind comments. Very much appreciated.

I printed out a few on Pictorio Ultra Premium Luster Photo paper (Great paper & great deal at Costco on-line),
and I was delighted with the samples. Vistaprint did a great job, with glossy cards on my last cards, about $11.00
per 500 (Only rub is you get about 10 pages of offers before checkout) IMHO, very good job on the printing though.
So I have my order in.

Keep smiling

Gus
