Handmade Christmas Cards

To put my creativity to use this Christmas (and to save a few bob) I decided to create my own Christmas cards. The idea came from a Christmas card design I created at University so I decided to revisit this and update the design which you can see the results below. MERRY CRIMBO!!


Original Photograph of a robin where the initial idea for the drawing of the Christmas card came from.


Drawing of the Robin - Black Ink, fine liner pens and Pro markers to colour the Dickie Bow.


Final Christmas Card 1 - Edited and coloured on Photoshop CS5, hand drawn text added and edited on Photoshop CS5.


Final Christmas Card 2 - Scatter pattern using Robin motif created on Photoshop CS5, hand drawn text added and edited on Photoshop CS5.
