My 2018 Holiday Card - The Titmouse in the Dogwood

Each year I design and create a holiday greeting card to send to friends and family. I chose to print the Titmouse in the Dogwood using red ink on chip board paper for this year’s card. It was a ‘labor of love’; since the titmouse is one of my favorite birds. Here is a look at this project.

The relief block is locked into place and printing is underway! I printed fifty cards this year and used every one of them. I enjoy sending and receiving ‘snail mail’; particularly when handmade.
