To say I like these cards is an understatement – I am so happy with how they turned out. Because I am who I am, my own projects are often over the top, with all of my favorite creative elements thrown in. Enter this year’s Christmas cards. Usually I dream up a beautiful idea, wait too long and send out something else last minute. Except this year, I was determined; four days before Christmas found me screen printing these puppies. Metallic gold ink – check. Full bleed artwork – check. Gold calligraphy – check. One crazy excited Faye – check!

Details: 2 color screen print – Jacquard #121 Solar Gold & Jacquard #114 Yellow Green / French Paper Construction White Cover Stock / French Paper Dur-O-Tone Steel Grey A7 Envelopes / Dr. Ph. Martin’s Iridescent Copper Plate Gold calligraphy ink / edition of 35
p.s. If you didn’t receive a card from us this year, I do apologize. In my haste, I didn’t count how many we actually needed and figured forty would be plenty and it wasn’t.
When I get asked to work on a project with creative elements I’ve been wanting to try, I get very excited. Then I get to work. I’ve worked with this lovely lady before and she wanted a custom hand drawn Christmas card to send out this year. I’ve been wanting to make something in this style for quite some time, so I was happy to get to work, starting with a Sharpie and my sketchbook. Mix my drawings with their photo and we had one great card!
