Finished my Christmas card project this evening - and got the cards ordered! I started with a photograph of a small drive-thru coffee place that was on Hwy 76 at Bonsall for years! Then when they widened the Hwy - it was torn down. I really miss seeing it when I drive that way! Desiree found the clip art Santa in his pick-up we added to the original photo - and then I made a pencil sketch from that. After initially getting the building and Santa down - at Desiree's suggestion, went back to the background painting in some loose detail and darkening that area at the same time. Am happy with the way it came out - Thank you Desiree! Now on to the November challenge!
Penny, this turned out so good! I really love it and think its so perfect and iconic for your card this year! Congratulations on getting it all finished up and ordered, I can't wait to get mine.
