Being this fabulous was easy Card

Because sometimes the hardest part of being iconic is making it look this effortless. No struggle, no journey — just a casual lifetime of turning heads and winning anyway.

A birthday card designed to mimic the gloriously overconfident covers of trashy midcentury pulp novels. The headline text reads “Being this fabulous was easy,” followed by the smugly reassuring line “and being this easy was fabulous!” set in dramatic, high-contrast typography. At the centre is a poised woman with a knowing smile, styled like a paperback heroine who’s already lived through the scandal and enjoyed every second of it. The illustration features painterly realism, soft studio lighting, and deliberate wear marks, including faux creases, scuffs, and price stamps. The colours are warm and decadent, with rich reds, golden yellows, and muted skin tones that complete the nostalgic pulp fiction aesthetic.
