🕑 Added 2022-12-27 00:00:18 +0000 UTCFor the past few years I've been making some Christmas greeting cards for family and friends. Each year is a different design, with Fergus being this year's winning design.
Fergus wasn't my first choice though. I always end up with a few different design ideas each year. Whether I use those designs depends on a lot of things, like how the composition looks or how it looks printed out (which is a big issue, getting the colors to match isn't easy).
For 2022's card, my original idea that I really wanted to do was a Mid Century Modern themed card. I really liked this idea, and I really wanted it to work but it just wasn't coming out how I envisioned it. Mostly I felt like that no one would get all the references in it. I still like it, and I may try and use it again next year.
Another idea that tried again this year was a Bezon themed card. This idea is originally from 2020, but for the same reason as my MCM card idea, I just couldn't make it work, or I couldn't come up with a layout that I liked. It's another that I may revisit in the future.
Along with my Fergus card, I made a back-up card design too, featuring two fuzzy friends, a reindeer and a highland bull. I made this card design because I wasn't sure if my grandparents would understand who or what a Krampus is. So I made it just to be on the safe side.
Even though Fergus wasn't my first idea, everyone still loved him, so all in all I think this year's card was a success. 💖🐐🎄
Curious to see what next year's card brings...

Beautiful work. I'd love to stay in a place like that with cool animal buddies roaming around

Much as I love the design of the house in the first one, I can't help but feel like it's kinda lonely, especially the outside shot. The rest of the designs are lovely as well, but ultimately I'm glad you stuck with Fergus for this year
