Inspired by @curiousfae 's ATC, I created a linocut to make holiday cards. Winter Solstice is my favorite of the winter holidays.
This was the first block print I’ve made as an adult. I used a basic speedball kit with a gold water-based ink. In person the cards are quite shimmery.
It felt good to create something. I had a bad concussion/head injury this summer (zero stars, do not recommend) and this is the first thing I’ve made in a long time.
These are gorgeous!
Thank you! 
Wow! How flipping cool! I feel really honored to have inspired such a wonderful piece. Your carving skills are spot on. Love the gold paint you used. You really took this to the next level and made something really fantastic. 
These are great! I love that they’re winter solstice. In definitely want to try block printing some time. Yours are beautiful.
Love these!!! Fantastic design. Love that it was inspired by a fellow LCer!
Beautiful cards! Glad to have you back and hope you are mending well!
Beautiful! 
Love love love this. Wow, what a gorgeous card. I’d be so thrilled getting one in the mail, I’m sure I’d display it year after year (I have a few faves like that).
Gorgeous! So glad you use crafting to mend and to bring joy to others!
What a beautiful card and a beautiful message! Glad you are feeling well enough to do some crafting again. It must feel very joyful for you to complete a project after a long absence from crafting. Thanks for sharing the project with us!
These are truly lovely and the recipients are going to be thrilled to find these in their mailbox. I hope you’re healing well and continue to craft.
I’m in awe at your lettering!
Thank you for sharing your art! It’s nice to belong to a community that is generous with their ideas
Thank you all for your kind comments 
I am on the mend. I’m hoping the joy from creating these will inspire more projects
What a beautiful design! I really like all the detail on the round edge of the orb. I’m glad to hear you’re on the mend!
Ooo, that was one of my favorite ATCs as well so it is very exciting to see an inspirational piece come from it. Winter solstice is definitely a highlight of my winter, just knowing that our days will be getting longer again. Beautiful cards, thank you for sharing.
These are sooooo gorgeous! What a great little keepsake. I bet some of them will get framed. 
Congratulations! Your stellar Winter Solstice block print cards are a featured project this week! 
These are simply wonderful! The solstice is definitely something to be celebrated and you’ve done so in such a beautiful way. Now, I’m getting the itch to dig out my own carving tools, so you’re passing the inspiration forward!
