Holiday Cards

Here they are!  Hot off the... desk.  A batch of Christmas  Holiday cards.  I think they turned out pretty nicely.  They are painted on Strathmore Watercolor Cards.   I got mine at our local hardware store.  The cards are 140 lb paper, with a nice fold in the middle and come with an envelope for each.

Yes, these poinsettias are a bit stylized.  I tried a few (ones you didn't get to see) with fatter leaves, and it just didn't seem to have quite as much movement or life to them.  Each leaf or petal has a slightly different color than its neighbor.and the center has a nice yellow patch to punch it up.

I do have to give a bit of thanks to Lindsay Weirich at TheFrugalCrafter.  Her YouTube channel has a bunch of fun stuff like this, and I stumbled upon her page at the right time.  I was looking for something to paint on these cards , and she had a great tutorial.  So Lindsay, thank you.

Well, thats all for now.  Hope you like them.
