Simple yet vibrant Christmas Card Idea


Another year and no time to post. Here is a simple yet vibrant Christmas card idea that anyone can create and it is easily customizable.

What I did was cut a square piece of burlap, frayed the edges just right and placed it on a white flat background. Then I took pictures of it. This became the mat for the portrait in the center of this 5.x7 card.

I also did 3 little mats for the inside of the card for 3 little images and then did one on the back for a picture of the person walking away.

This is an easy card design to do. Plus, it adapts to just about any color so you can match the mat to your Christmas portrait. If you don't have various colors of burlap, you can take a picture of a white or offwhite burlap and then change the color in Photoshop. It is important however to take the picture of the burlap looking straight down. A tripod is recommended.
