Candy Cane Merry Christmas Card

Hello everyone, 

Here I'm, once again, with a Christmas Card. Its a one layer card featuring a strip down the front of the card stock. 
I decided to keep it pretty simple. I drew a rough sketch of the candy canes and then I painted them with watercolors.

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.

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! ^_^
