Christmas Cards

So, I 've toyed with the idea of making my own Christmas cards since I was an undergrad in art school many years ago. Finally, I did it and I must say it was much more fun than I thought it could be. I had wanted to silkscreen them but I haven't set up my equipment properly yet so I decided to run craft paper colored card stock through my laser printer and cut them to size by hand. I used a drawing I made of a fox head and drew a wreath to surround him with and used the Pinewood font to write "Happy Holidays" on the front and "Here's to being foxxy at Christmas and throughout the New Year" inside. It was snowing on Sunday morning when I was hand painting the white sections of the image and it was just the perfect way to spend some time making things to send to others to let them know I was thinking of them at this time of the year. Isn't that what the holidays are really about.
