Christmas Cards 2007 by Tina Jones

December Monthly Painting Project: Make Your Own Christmas Card

By , About.com Guide

From the Artist: I used nearly the same idea as the pear card (see Painting Cards: Pear Diamonds Design), but did it on an 8.5x11" (21x28cm) piece of watercolor paper and drew a freehand overlapping squiggle to paint in. I cut 24 rectangles out of it, glued each rectangle to a slightly larger piece of construction paper, then glued that to a blank off white card. Lastly, I signed each card.

Now I've made my cards, let's see if they make it to the mail box...

From the Painting Guide: I think signing is important -- each card is like a mini-gift. And, who knows, if one day you're a famous artist, those people who've kept your cards will be smiling very broadly indeed!
