Christmas card success!

Stage 4 on printing my own Christmas card, after being bitten by the screen printing bug at Edinburgh Printmakers.

And the acetate template worked a dream, after some tinkering with the thickness of the paint and trying a roller before making my own ‘squidgy’ out of a 15cm plastic ruler, I printed this Christmas card.

And then I tried a red one, a bit more festive but I like the Scottish blue also. I think it would look great in black too, I especially like the thickness of the paint and the slight imperfections in each one, making them all truly original. The scene is Edinburgh Castle from the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

If you would like to order some get in touch here.  The inside is left blank and the card is A6 size, printed on thick art card. All cards come complete with an envelope. Cards are priced at £2.50 each or 6 for £12 and come in red, blue or black, or a combination there of.

Here are links to the printing process in stages, I hoped you enjoyed watching my printing experiment, any questions please use the comment box below.
