This is for the VSN "Mandalay Bay" Challenge. We were asked to incoporate something "Be it blueÂ….or oceanÂ…fishÂ….or shellÂ….creature of the water (mythical or real) make a card inspired by the Shark Reef in the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Vegas." AND also incorporate the shape of a playing card (or an actual card.) I chose to go with the shape rather than an actual card.
I also thought about the slot machines and how they usually have a three window area (not that I play, but I think that's correct!) and how it would look to use that as a repetitive image, signifying good luck (especially for a birthday.) Anyhoo - here's what I came up with!
On the inside I tried to draw the theme back to the slot machine win with the reference to "jackpot!"
These challenges are great! Really gets you using your stuff!
