I have been working on altering some Christmas cards. This is so much fun, just try. I start by cutting elements from old cards, divide into categories such as borders, verses, pictures of angels, santas, etc. and arranging on blank cards. Once I like an arrangement I glue everything to the card and if needed I ink ,chalk or tear edges. I always have the gold, copper and silver paint pens and edge the card, elements, or envelopes, this gives the card a finished appearance.
I plan to try this with all occasion cards. What do you think, would people like to receive a card of this type? I suppose you would pick and choose who get these cards. Please let me know what you think and if you make some let me know.

Hi,
Thanks for the visit!
I think this is a great idea! I would love to receive a card that had been hand done like this.

Arlene, This is a great blog and I would love to get one of the hand made cards. I always loved to get your hand painted cards. You do a great job.
