A Very Special Christmas Card
For anyone who follows my photostream, you might be aware I am very fortunate to be surrounded by some wonderfully artistic and creative friends. This includes my very dear friend Maria who creates some truly beautiful and amazing cards from recycled paper and cardboard.
She is also a talented self taught artist, and this unique Christmas card is a testament to her talent. Maria knows that I collect antique postcards. She also knows that I love bears, and that Christmas is my favourite time of year. Thus she combined all of these things to make me a personalised Christmas card. The image, right down to the franking and date stamps are all hand drawn, inked and painted. If you look closely you will even see the stamp has a bear in a stocking in it, and rather than an amount for postage, it has the date of Christmas on it.
You doubtless won't be surprised when I tell you that I keep a selection of my more special Christmas cards every year, and this one I will most certainly be keeping!
