For the wonderful weirdo on your Christmas list. This Gothic Christmas card brings Syllable Sanctuary’s pairing of poetry and shadowy art to a greeting that is affectionate, mischievous, and proudly strange.
The story in the design
A mysterious figure in a crooked hat emerges beside falling snow, candlelight, ornaments, and a wrapped present. Against the dark background, cream and muted red lettering tells a miniature winter tale: a creeping shadow steals the sparkle and leaves “a present of pure melancholy.” The closing greeting turns that gothic gloom into a fond wink: “Merry Christmas, you wonderful weirdo — stay strange!”
It is a holiday card for someone you would never ask to be ordinary. Tuck it into a favourite book, send it to your ghost-story-loving friend, or let it stand among the candles on an unconventional Christmas mantel.
Print and paper
The artwork and verse are digitally printed on substantial 270gsm white paper, bringing the illustration and lettering together in one printed design. This is a printed art card, not a hand-painted or letterpress card.
The card blanks are sourced from the USA. This identifies the source of the blanks, rather than the paper mill or fibre origin. Finish options listed for this card include uncoated, matte, one-side coated, and two-side coated; the surface feel depends on the finish selected.
