    I've finished one of my Christmas card designs ...
    Sorry it's come out a bit blurred.
    And I don't know where those white bits on the hat came from. They are not actually there.

    Resized.jpg


    I painted the actual picture on A3 paper, then reduced its size on the computer, added the words in red, superimposed it on the red background and printed it out.

    I've got another two on the go, I'll show them to you later on, after I've finished them.

        Thank you @Victoria, he nearly ended in the bin like the first two did, but several people have said they like him so he can stay :smile:

          I like him too Michael. :)

          I wouldn't have noticed those if you hadn't pointed them out, it looks like snow to me.

            Thank you @Sheal, but I'm glad they are only on the photocopy, and not on the card itself :smile:

                          Lovely ink drawings Sian, our youngest son does a lot of brilliant ones as well. So very time consuming but well worth it.

                            It does take time, yes, @Upsydaisy ,but it is very therapeutic

                              I've made my own Christmas cards this year,
                              it took ages !
                              I've also got Welsh versions of them. I send about the same number of each. :smile:
