ach carefully handcrafted creation starts with an idea. Christine then turns that idea into a beautiful reality. She uses a combination of different brushes, tools, and water-based paints to produce her works of art. The card stock that Christine has chosen to use is superior in quality and works well with the water colors. The verse cards are printed before being individually hand-painted. The name cards are painted before personalization. Christine likes to keep a lot of cards painted ahead so that when she gets an order, she can fill that order quickly and keep turn-around time to a minimum. After the cards have been painted, Christine uses a form of calligraphy to personalize each one of the cards with a name or initials, according to the orders received. The cards are then folded, packed, and shipped out to happy customers.
