Holiday Card for Southern Bride Magazine

Holiday Card for Southern Bride Magazine art
Gayle Wheatley, digital

I had the opportunity to create this festive card for Southern Bride magazine this season. I had been playing around with sketches for my own holiday card featuring a girl in a candy cane dreamland, and thought this wonderland would be beautiful with a happy bride in her gown and veil, decked out in diamonds, with diamond snow drops falling all around her. This is how it all turned out!

Happy Holidays!!
