I think that's more of a d311 variation than Obak.

Well done!!!

That is funny, but my first reaction was, whoa, that was done with editing software - is that scary or what?

otherwise, I think the wrinkle on the front would show through to the back.

I think it has been doctored.

how did you DO that?!!
the print is exactly the same, even looks like it has imperfections in it!

Edited to add:
You could do so much with this kind of skill...Others might include:
"This fairy often skipped around the bases."
"Blessed with fleet feet and a simple mind in the outfield, he's known as The Butterfly Chaser"

I tried to keep the editing tiny - because it took a little time.

I hope people got a chuckle out of it. It was all meant in good fun.



The type looks so good because the letters came from the card itself. I didn't type any in.

If I needed and "H" I had to find an "H" and copy it. The only letter I couldn't find was the letter k in li'k'e - so I had to create that letter using other letters on the card.



Here is an animation of the process.

Looks top me like the added sentence was painstakingly crafted by cutting and pasting individual letters from the opening paragraph,which didn't have a "k," neccessitating the need to create one.

Good job!
