"JOY TO THE WORLD"

HAND LETTERED CHRISTMAS CARDS


STEP 1

We begin by using a square kraft card and firstly pencilling in our lettering design - you can see here I have ruled three lines for my text to sit upon. I can then pencil in my greeting and play around a little with the layout! I then use a Tombow brush pen and using the large brush tip to letter over ‘Joy’ in the pencil letters in brush calligraphy script style.


STEP 2

Using the fine tip at the other end of the Tombow (it’s a clever pen!) I letter in the fine upright letters to add contrast and interest!


STEP 3

I then finish by using the lovely broader flexible brush tip to letter in ‘World’ - the lettering is now complete.


STEP 4

To add a little festive goodness, I draw decorative holly and berries - firstly outlining the leaves in a green Tombow - use the fine tip draw your shape and fill in with a couple of brush strokes. A bright red fine tip sharpie is used for the berries and voila! A lovely hand lettered festive greeting card - happy lettering everyone!
