Finally back to making the Granny cards. In fact there are a few not yet posted. Here is this week's card done with acrylic and colored pencil on watercolor paper. With two more grandchildren bringing the total to seven I no longer make an original 'work of art' for each but make one original, then scan it into my computer. I load it into Picassa where I might crop it or nudge the colors a bit and then print out the color copies. I almost always make 5.5 x 4.25 prints ( four to an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper) because that is a great size for mailing. Most convenient.
