I decided to indulge my passion for watercolor by making our own Christmas/Yule cards. I came up with a design and made a rough template to speed the process. I ink the outline then add color. . .
Thirty-some cards later and ten or so to go, I haven't gotten bored with the process. Something about repeating the same design over and over (with some tiny variations) is a learning process--learning more about which brushes and which colors work best in certain situations, learning how little details can improve the picture. Or maybe I'm just easily entertained.

That is dedication, but in the spirit of the season.
That is a brilliant card and will utterly delight all those who receive it. (And who, if they are wise, will frame it to take out each Yuletide to come and give it a place of honour on their mantlepiece.)
How fun, and I love your design! Glad you enjoyed making them!
I'm impressed you can make a ram look so joyful! 🥰
Hand-painted cards are a treasure and everyone will love them.
Those are really nice ones. I make mine too but set up an assembling line with paper and stamp sets once I settle on a design. I made two designs this year. Alas - no photos taken.
WOW! I love it! Merry Christmas!
