These past holidays provided so many reasons for my family and I to say "Thank you" to so many people. Being a part-time minimalist, I often take advantage of sending e-cards, but then there are a few friends and family where e-cards just aren't applicable. Sometimes, it's for those that belong to an older generation who don't use e-mail or computers; other times it can be that special someone who loves collecting sentimental notes. I broke out the sketch book and set to work using mixed media. Keep reading to see the final product.

I don't have a fancy printer so I adjusted the color and sharpness values. I used one of the wonderfully helpful printing tutorials provided at
Red River Paper to make sure I got it to print like an actual card. Once I had my print out, I pretended like nothing existed outside of folding the print out horizontally. I recommend a good straight edged ruler to place horizontally inside the middle once you've gotten the edges of the card together. It helps create a sharper fold more easily. Please feel free to use my card if you'd like. I recommend using a card stock with a weight greater than 250 gsm. As always, I love feedback, constructive criticism, comments, or just friendly "hello's".
Happy New Years everyone!
