Sunday Sketches - Christmas Cards

Watercolor on Strathmore heavyweight textured cards
I absolutely love Christmas, everything about it from the crazy running around buying gifts, to the days of cooking and baking.  This year I decided to make a few Christmas cards instead of just sending the commercial bought ones. I love giving personal gifts and what better way to say Merry Christmas than with a hand painted card.  They're not perfect and I need to practice more with my writing skills but I'm happy with these so far.  I'm linking up with Sunday Sketches so hop on over and check out the other great artists by clicking here.

    These cards are gifts in themselves and would look beautiful framed. Blessings!

    Such a good idea and it is indeed so much more personal than buying something from Hallmark. Lovely angel btw.
