About This Design
Shakespeare Sonnet 146 (CXLVI) on Parchment Invitation
What would life be without poetry in general - or Shakespeare in particular?
A while back, I decided to make products using Shakespeare's sonnets, but I felt my design was a bit unfulfilled at the time, so I revamped it a bit to something more to my liking. Traditional yet original. The background is a parchment texture I made a while back, and I also found a calligraphic typeface for it that has the almost unique feature of having both historical gravity as well as modern legibility.
Obviously there are lots of sonnets to get through, so if you like this design, but cannot find your favourite work by the bard already made in it, please email me at mail@galleryhakon.com to let me know and I'll get to it right away.
This particular one is sonnet 146 (CXLVI), which reads:
Poor soul, the centre of my sinful earth,
These rebel powers that thee array
Why dost thou pine within and suffer dearth,
Painting thy outward walls so costly gay?
Why so large cost, having so short a lease,
Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend?
Shall worms, inheritors of this excess,
Eat up thy charge? Is this thy body's end?
Then soul, live thou upon thy servant's loss,
And let that pine to aggravate thy store;
Buy terms divine in selling hours of dross;
Within be fed, without be rich no more:
So shalt thou feed on Death, that feeds on men,
And Death once dead, there's no more dying then.

I love this invite. I was pleased to have so much selection for invite size, paper style and background. I received these quite quickly and used a scalloped crafters hole punch to make "bite marks" on 2 sides. I love how they turned out. Would definitely order again. Bright colours and clear lines. Not blurry at all and a nice thick & durable paper.

I was looking for a card like this that fit my traditional culture. I was able to adjust and resize the logos and font. What really impressed me was that I was able to include my traditional font by copying from a .Docx file and pasting on to the Dazzle card edit and there was NO ISSUE at all. I just had to change the size of the font so it fits. colour, clarity and thickness of the card turn out great!
