Reader Stories: Homemade Holiday Cards 2009

Creating holiday cards is a way to share you enjoyment of painting with your friends and family. Not to mention how special it makes you feel to receive a handmade card! This painting project challenges you to paint your own holiday cards to send out this year. Submissions are open from now until 24th December 2009 and should be done using the form below. The subject and style of your card(s) is up to you.

For inspiration, browse through last year's gallery of homemade holiday cards, check out the Christmas Reference Photos and list of techniques for cards, then get painting your holiday cards!
