Custom House Holiday Card Design

I’m putting together this year’s family holiday card and need an artist who can blend illustration and photo-editing seamlessly. The front should show a classic hand-drawn sketch of our home—clean lines, subtle shading—kept simple and elegant so the house remains the star. In four of the front windows, please Photoshop in individual images of our four grandchildren; they need to feel naturally “inside,” matching the perspective and lighting of the drawing.

For the reverse side I may ask for a full-house illustration as well, this time paired with two childhood photos of my own kids. I’ll supply the reference photos and the holiday greeting text once we get started, so leave space for a short headline plus a two-line message.

Preferred workflow: create the illustration in Procreate, Illustrator, or another vector-friendly tool, then handle the window composites in Photoshop so we keep layered flexibility. Final artwork must be print-ready (CMYK, 300 dpi, with bleed) and also supplied as layered source files for any last-minute tweaks.

Deliverables:
• Front card artwork (print-ready PDF + layered file)
• Optional back design with photos (same specs)
• High-res JPEG proofs for quick review

I’m aiming for a warm yet refined piece that will stand out on the mantel. Two revision rounds should be plenty, but I’m happy to chat if we need a touch more polish.
