My 2012 Holiday Card

Holiday card design by Hand-Painted Weddings.

It is that time of year again! Holiday card time! I have been designing my own Christmas cards for a few years now, and the last two that I hand-painted have been my favorites! This year I was inspired by the song, “Walking in a Winter Wonderland” and the glistening of winter forests.

I love snow days (I mean who doesn’t, right?). I love cuddled in a warm blanket on the couch watching the snow fall. I really have a zero tolerance to driving in the snow, so anytime it snows you’ll find me at home. Although I do love walking through the snow in the city. You know, before it gets all dirty and mushy. It is interesting because I am such a city girl, but I am also such a cabin in the mountains girl. I suppose this card was more inspired by my cabin in the mountains side!

Also, it is a little hard to tell from the photos but there is some metallic silver watercolor paint highlighting bits of the trees, and the envelope is a lovely shimmer warm-white. Can’t wait to send these out to my friends and family this week!
