To help you get started, Jeanette Robertson and a dozen other successful greeting card artists share what they've learned. In 20 step-by-step demonstrations, you'll discover imaginative techniques for painting cards in watercolor, colored pencil and acrylic. You'll also find plenty of friendly business advice--everything from how to price and package your own cards to the fine points of submitting your work to greeting card companies. Maybe you'll sell your cards to friends, just for fun. Maybe you'll sell your original designs to greeting card companies.
