Today’s Best Award: Mod Pink Olives Business Cards

I got a great gift to start out 2011. On New Year’s Day I received another Today’s Best Award for my Mod Pink Olives Pattern Business Cards:

New Colors, New Designs

I’m doubly happy because I’ve been exploring mod and minimalistic designs, as well as modern floral prints lately, and it’s wonderful to know that I’m doing something right to receive a feature on Zazzle.

The color scheme for Mod Pink Olives design is based on colors that Pantone and other color folks have spotlighted for 2011, which makes the timing of this award even more ironic-in-a-good-way. The pink ‘olives’ were inspired by Honeysuckle, Pantone’s 2011 Color of the Year, which pantone describes as “encouraging and uplifting.”

I love this idea, and I think that my recent designs have reflected that same tone. I’ve been drawn to simple but elegant design and bright color.

Here’s Pantone’s codes for the honeysuckle color for CMYK and RGB:
