Merry Christmas cards here!

[Gare]

Well, wouldn't you know it: our inkjet ran out of PC Cyan and photo Magenta this morning, so we're posting our card here on tg, and I'd encourage others to do the same, even if you have plenty of ink (and if you do, can we have some?).



I used several different programs to compose this illustration, but I always finish in Xara for small to big refinements, and my hand-made template is in Xara, and the only one I use for cards. Xara, Canon inkjet, Epson card stock.

Ho x 3,

Gary

I'm afread my ink wouldn't work in your printer. Sorry,

[Gare]

That's okay, Larry; I called Staples and they'll even deliver for free, so I have the weekend to Ctrl+P a lot (I'm sure there's a surface vulgarity in that statement).

I'd like to share something else. I did arrangements and recordings of several Public Domain Christmas songs in the past years, but didn't have time to this year. However, I'd like to just post a P.D. arrangement of "Angels we Have Heard on High" as an alternative/remedy to far too many Willy Nelson and Pentatonix songs playing in every store this time of year.

Merry Christmas to all at TG.

I thought I would do a locational one.

I've done mine and posted it online here. There's no way I could even attempt anything like that but like you, I sometimes use two differrnt programs.

Hey, Scaleback, whatever comes from the heart is the essence of your art.

Absolutely no competition, at Christmas, or whenever.

Comparisons are for when things are similar or equal. Artists are all unique.

I submitted a Christmassy themed bit of art work on the talkgraphics forums but it seemed to have vanished. I don't know hpw you did that but there's some good artwork on here.

As for ink cartridges, I've only got a black one and over here in the UK they're a bit expensive considering the fact they're widely available £20.00 for a colour ink cartridge! Who do Hewellt Packard think I am? That Trump guy?

Retro 3D look. (Suits well for Christmas time as it looks it was made by some 4-year old.)

Some seasonal flowers, with very best wishes and many thanks to all who keep this forum going!

That's very attractive Penny, and a Happy Holidays to you.
