Linocut diya

A two-colour print in black and marigold: a band of stars and leaves at the top and one large diya with bold carved rays at the bottom, on off-white paper. It is a modern design, made for a short, crisp wish.

Making it yours

The paper between the stars and the diya is one of the smallest text areas among the designs, a little over a third of the card's height, so two or three lines say the most. Dark brown sits closest to the black ink; Maroon adds a touch of colour. There is no header line by default, which keeps the print clean.

About the craft: Linocut

A linocut is a relief print. The artist carves the design into a sheet of linoleum, inks the raised surface with a roller and presses paper onto it, so the carving marks stay visible in the print. Bold lines and strong contrast are typical. This design uses a two-colour linocut look, black and marigold, with one large diya and its carved rays of light.
