Merry Christmas!!

Yes, I know, it's not original as a text... but anyway I made this simple illustration in a hurry, because I wanted to leave some hand made cards to my closest friends and kindred. I succeded in doing about ten cards like the one I post here. I used carbon paper, watercolor, ecoline and fineliner. Everyone is a bit different. In this I tried to write with a nib pen and red ink but the result was poor... partly becuase the tool didn't just fit (the watery ink and the rough paper) and partly because I suck at hand-writing... Anyway, I still have to begin to deliver these effort.. who knows the reactions!! :P
