Eid Cards 2012

So yes, I know this post is very late. It's been a while since my last one, but now that I'm finished with my masters (alhum!) I can focus back on my blog. These are some Eid Cards that I made for this past Eid-ul-Fitr back in August. These are made on bristol paper with Prismacolor markers. 

The ones in Arabic say "Eid Mubarak", which can be roughly translated to "Happy Eid"

Eid-Ul-Fitr is an islamic celebration that takes place after the month of Ramadan where we fast for about 30 days from dawn till dusk to purify your soul. The word 'Eid' can mean a 'Return', so if your Ramadan was successful, you've returned to your original, sinless state. Hence, the celebration!

Mehndi Cards

Here are some cards that I made while trying to come up with a design for my sisters Mehdni (Henna) Party Invitation. The Mehndi is traditionally colorful and vibrant, and in my opinion is one of the most fun events of the wedding. Ours was all girls so there was music, dancing, some really funny skits, great food, and of course everyone got some Henna on them before they left. The colors got a little muted because of the scanning. 


All the cards are 4x6 inches and made on regular computer paper with PrismaColor Markers and PrismaColor Gold and Silver Paint Pens.

This is the one we ended up going with.
 It matched the best with the rest of the event invitations.
