Block printed Cristmas cards

Merry Christmas everyone!

Here are some of the Christmas cards I made this year:

It’s a block print over a pastel background.

I used water soluble pastels in the hope that the water based ink will adhere better. It still lifted off on some cards.

Gorgeous! Nice seeing your process…and that stamp…just fabulous!

These are lovely! I think the one on the right, where the ink lifted, looks we’re seeing the candle through a window with frost or condensation on it. Very wintery-cozy-inside vibes.

Also, please consider entering this in the Holiday Spectacular Challenge!

Thank you!

@AIMR, @Tapestry I really hope my swap cards for you arrive soon. They are made the same way.

I love these! They’re beautiful and I bet everyone who received them felt really special. They look really polished but still homey.

I will be having words with my postman if they don’t arrive! I love them! I know I am receiving international mail at a very slow pace, but seems they always arrive! Fingers and toes crossed!

You didn’t receive my fall happy mail either, right? And I sent that around 2 months ago.

I wasn’t sure if you sent to everyone so I didn’t ask, but no, I didn’t receive any mail from you at all. :face_exhaling:
