Well, this isn't exactly a Christmas card...but I made that one before. XD It's still wintry! Hence my submission to Hi-chan's wonderful challenge. :)
Contrary to popular belief, these are two guys. I mean I got the scan here on FM...and they only have BL, haha. XD But the one guy in front being hugged...in the kimono, he is SO pretty! XD So feminine. Ahah. Anyhoo. This card...it was a study in brushwork! I used a lot of brushes, a lot of old ones I haven't used in AGES. They're really subtle, so maybe you can't tell, but I used a few...makes it more sparkly. Um, aside from brushes, I duplicated the scan several times, set some on multiply, some on soft light, changed the hues and saturation...blah blah blah. Lots of stuff. Lol. Not sure if I like the text; I played around with it so much that I GIVE UP. Changing fonts and stuff...now it's back to how it was at first. Whatever. XD
I hope you like it. <333 Merry Christmas, everyone!! :)
