Happy Passover

I spent the afternoon working on my first Passover card. It's based on the tradition of cleaning the house of chametz (any grain product that's already fermented or can cause fermentation) before Passover. Traditionally, it's done walking through the house with a candle, feather, and wooden spoon, which is what I've tried to depict with this card.

Still debating over whether I should write a "Happy Passover" message on the top of the card.

To a Stand-out Graduate

I finished this card last night. The hardest part, conceptually, for me was trying to figure out how to write "Congratulations." I didn't want to just write it in script with a drawing pen. My boyfriend suggested I use something related to school, like writing "congratulations" on lined paper, which then led me to the idea of using a banner. Of course, the final idea was not even to make a banner with the greeting, but to cut out the words, and string them across the card as the banner itself. And there you have it!
