About Elky Ink

Hi there! Elky is a nickname from my youth. Curiosity continually drives me to experiment with unique approaches to my design creations. When I'm not creating greeting card designs, you can usually find me with a camera or a garden tool, since I also enjoy photography and gardening.

Thank you so much for your helpful comment on „floral deluxe", Linda. The white rectangle behind the text is a bit transparent. Since foil will only be printed on the top layer, I have the pattern also in the back to create some structure. I love your circle design. It looks great in all foil options.

Hi Linda! Thank you again :) At first I thought aqua for names will be too bright, but I just tried it and it looks good. I really like both colorways and am at loss what to decide. Appreciate your help!

Debra Pruskowski on Jan 18 2019

Hi Linda. Thank you for the nice comment on my "Cool Breezes" After our last conversation I think that it is kind of funny that neither you or I could stay away from another challenge :) :) Good luck- you have some lovely entries.

Three Kisses Studio on Jan 17 2019

Minted Nov 4, 2008

No prob! It's forever a learning process. :) Your work is getting stronger with every challenge (see you couldn't quit could you) :) :). I learned most but just looking at what others that I admire did when it came to fonts...I click there design, see which ones they used (in the bottom right of the submission page), HOW they used it...small caps, no caps, italic, spacing between letters (tracking), spacing between lines (leading), mix of fonts (script with serif or sans serif) etc. etc. It was only then that my designs got better. You can have the greatest image/illustration ever but if the fonts and their layout aren't spot on, it will break the design. Feel free to DM via Facebook if you want any help. Good luck!! :)

Jan Shepherd on Jan 15 2019

Minted Jul 5, 2014

Hi Linda thanks for helping with my Dreamy Floral - I’d been ignoring that distracting part lower right but did some photoshop on it today and it’s gone now. Also point taken re pasting another watercolour layer, I hadn’t thought of doing that, but I have tried it with a blue box and multiply and that seems to have worked. Oh and I changed the body typeface too :)

Monika Konieczna on Jan 14 2019

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! I made adjustments you suggested, the design does look better :)
