An Etched Name

This was made for my nephew's naming ceremony in August. 'Rishant' means to rejoice!! I wish him all good in life.
I first printed his name using a desirable font and cut out the letters and pasted them on the desired paper. Later, I worked on the name using 3mm red paper. The bird and butterfly were inspired by Linh Indochine. Once it was complete, I used a printed pink design for the background and framed it using mahogany wood.

  5. Sorry for the delay in replying. I have started a new job and have been extremely busy. Coming to your query. It will depend what colour scheme you would like to stay in more boyish stereotype (blue) or more neutral yellow, orange or red. Accordingly you can start your project. I would also like to add that I have done a similar technique using different colour you can see if that suits your taste.
