Folk Art Card

Want to do something creative, that you can give to friends and family?

Try handpainting your own cards.
This one was painted onto pastel paper with josonja artist gouache paints. The texture on the paper helped give a drybrush effect without really trying. Great fun!

I trimmed the bottom of the top page with a craft knife to give a more unique edging.

You could use any type of paper, as long as it is thick enough to stand up.
I adapted this design from a Jo Sonja Jansen book (can’t remember which one), but this style is great for ‘just doodling’.
