Do you ever do a painting and then have it reproduced to make multiple cards? And if so, can you recommend a place? I have scanned my watercolors, and then fixed them up a bit in Photoshop for size and sharpness and reprinted them using a Hallmark card program. I’d love to try a more professional printing job.

We love a handmade card at Keep it Colourful! 🙂 While printing cards can be more convenient, if you have the time there is something so special about the personal touch and creativity that comes with crafting each unique card by hand for the special people in your life 🎨🖌️✨
