The process

I wanted to show my Christmas card with you. I wanted to wait until the cards had gone out, didn't want to spoil the surprise for my friends and family. My card.

With slight variations,

I sent the same card to everyone.

signed and dated by the designer

For the first time,
I used a tri-level stamp (the weeds).
A separate stamp contained text.

I used three to four different colors of stickles to decorate the heads of the weeds.

Each item dried overnight. If the ink or stickles get smeared, the effort is wasted. cards dried on top of the table, on the seat of chairs on the ironing board

Because I waited to make my cards until days before they needed to be mailed, it was a tremendous amount of work in a short amount of time. I work full time, so everything was done in the evenings. I worked until I could barely move. Stayed up late. Fifty cards. Note to self: next year, start the process earlier!
