A cheerful risograph birthday card featuring a bird illustration and the pun Happy Bird Day in A6 format. The risograph printing technique creates bright colors and a light texture. Small shifts in the print are characteristic of risograph printing and make every card slightly different. The card comes with a colored envelope.
These cards are made with 3 bright risograph colors: aqua blue, yellow, and neon pink. The cards are printed on A6-sized 300-gram Biotop paper. All cards are handmade in a small and lovely illustration studio in Utrecht.
Happy birthday riso print bird greeting card A6
For each print I use a Japanese printing technique called riso printing. This technique uses an environmentally friendly and rice-based ink which results in the fluorescent and cheerful hues that bring the prints to life. Because each color is a separate layer that goes through the riso printer, the layer sometimes shifts and each print has its own unique texture and character, making each print original and just a little bit different. It is a sustainable and unique way of printing
One of the characteristics of riso prints is that they never dry completely. They always remain a little 'wet', but fortunately they do not smudge unless you really rub over the print. So be careful when handling the riso prints. If the print does show smudges, you can remove the riso ink with an eraser.
