Christmas Cards

My first post on my new blog and I've started to work on my Christmas cards designs (I know at this rate I'll have them posted by mid-June!) I've tried a few different designs.

This was my first attempt, using crimson ink painted in patterns onto white card. I'm planning to use brown paper envelopes to give them a simple, traditional feel. I like the patterns on this version although they still feel a little bit unfinished and I'm not sure that they really reflect Christmas, so much as being a self-indulgent doodle.
