Untangling the Christmas Lights - Christmas 2008

Stencilled and hand painted concertina card. Acrylics and metallic green stencil paint on ink blue card. Iridescent glitter.

One of my simplest Christmas cards!

Despite putting away our Christmas tree lights carefully each year, they always had to be untangled and the bulbs screwed in and replaced, before they would work. An onerous task, not necessary now with LED lights. I still prefer the old fashioned fairy lights though! The design features a tangle of lights, plugged in at the wall. It is painted in the dry-brush style that I use in my children's books.
