I don't know about you, but I derive
such great pleasure from uplifting someone's spirits with a beautiful hand
painted Christmas greeting card.
Christmas is definitely one of the most joyous occasions of the year
for me, where Christmas card giving is traditional. Though Christmas cards are available on almost all local
market stalls at very reasonable cost, making and painting your own Christmas cards never fails to
wow the recipient. There are quite a number of ways to make Christmas cards. It could be the use of a photo,
a cut out from a magazine, pencil, crayons, pastel, acrylic or any other medium, but my preferred option is
to paint them using watercolour.
The next thing to consider is choosing
a fitting theme for the front and the right font for inside. This should be dependent on the recipient's nature and preference. For instance, if you are giving a Christmas card to a
eight year old niece or a nephew, a funny snowman scene would be appropriate, or if the recipient is a business partner or a co-employee, an elegant, formal and simple graphic
like the examples below would be proper. Putting an ill-fitting picture on your card may possibly draw out a negative response from the recipient.
The final and most important step in
the overall design is putting the right words on your Christmas card. When you put the message on your card, make sure to convey the message that comes from your heart. It doesn't have to be poetic or elaborate. A simple line like "Have
a very Merry Christmas" is enough in my view but yours may be totally different.
Anyway have fun painting your
own......Have a very Merry Christmas!!!!!
