The Unconventional Business Card

My sister has always been a baker at heart and has taken this passion into a whole new level - with cake orders scheduled tightly every day she's free, I would say her business is booming! And so she called me one day and told me "I need a business card. I want it to be sweet, different and not so expensive!". My first attempt of designing a square card had her giving me a look like "OMG, are you like my so called "creative" sister!!!" haha, and so I told her "If you want something of nice pansy cutting shapes, its expensive!". My sister pouts and says "But I don't want so expensive". And so I sat down and thought about it, how about this way?

I designed the card to be like a square, however my sister could cut the edges off and punch a whole in the middle - making it into a tag :) It will be beautifully decorated with a thin creamy ribbon to provide the classic sweet look, and I redrew the cupcake to add more pink and at the back, I designed a Ginger man, inspired by who else but Gingy himself from Shrek the movie. I designed Ginger man with an apron and well, one of him.. er.. naked? :) Well, it was the favorite choice and in the end, it was indeed sweet, affordable and of course, unique!
