Christmas Decorations Greeting Card

Good evening everyone,

You know one thing which I have noticed about myself is that I just love painting Christmas cards, making them reminds me of all the festivities and gifts and what not, aah...there's just something about Christmas!  

Anyway, today, I saw this August Color Challenge @ 52 Christmas Card Throwdown and I simply couldn't resist. An idea popped up into my mind and hurriedly, I picked up my brushes n' colors, without wasting much time, I started painting. Consciously keeping in mind to use primarily the traditional red and green colors. I then, folded the white card stock into half to make a card. I also painted pine leaves along with little ornaments of decorations and finished the card by adding a thin red border to my painted image.

And... voila! 
My watercolor card was ready for submission. 

  P.S Lastly, I kept the card on a red background and clicked the picture.

Handmade Red And Green Christmas Card

Hello friends,

So yesterday, I found burlap while shopping for my craft supplies and I thought I'll buy it since I've always wanted to use it! So, when I made this card, I thought- why not use it? The best part is that I could fit it into the required conditions for the latest challenge that I'm taking part in. I saw this August Sketch challenge going on at 52 CHRISTMAS CARD THROWDOWN  and I decided to play along as I liked the given sketch for this challenge. 

On the card stock, I have pasted pieces of green burlap and red card stock. Then, I painted candy canes and a wreath (my favorite part), cut the painted Christmas elements into their shapes, made a fence out of plain white paper and stuck the wreath on to it. I also tied a matching green-white twine on the candy canes and finally added the sentiment which is handwritten. I love the red green color combo. 


Here it is, my card for this Christmas-themed challenge, doesn't it make you want to sing a Christmas carol?

And here's the sketch for inspiration!

"Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis' the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la".

  

Enjoy your day! ^_^

One Layer Candy Cane Christmas Card

Hello friends,

So, today I came up with a Christmas card. Ohhh...don't be surprised! Christmas in August? I am very much aware that Christmas is still far away. but actually this card is my take on One Layer Christmas Card Challenge #15 (Optional twist: Candy cane) 

This one is a simple card with minimal elements. My family members like it this way - plain and simple. They don't like too many embellishments and glittery stuff. So, I thought I'll leave it this way.

Since the card is supposed to be a one layer card, I directly painted the candy cane on the card stock paper itself using watercolors (No layers of papers / stamps used). And the sentiment is handwritten. It was fun making this card as it was made really quickly and it didn't take me much time.  

This is the inspiration provided by the challenge for our card-making.

Do let me know what you think of this simple idea for a card in your comments.

Stay festive! ^_^

Thinking Of You Greeting Card

A big Hello to you all... 

I hope you all had a great weekend. So again, I came across this competition called the "Color Throw down Challenge" (I seem to be coming across a lot of challenges these days) :P

Anyway, this card is my last minute submission for the above-mentioned challenge #353. So, have a look at it guys and do let me know what you feel about this card through your comments below. I would really like that! :D

I added a soothing background and painted the deer. Then, did the foliage of trees. The sentiment was handwritten later on to match the picture of a lonely deer.

The required color palette given to us for making the card consisted of Yellow, Purple & Green- which happen to be my favorite colors. I have used pastel shades of the mentioned colors for an elegant effect. 

Hope you all like it! 

P.S. Isn't the purple tree pretty? ;)
