Christmas Card: Research

I felt this week brief would be a chance for me to be really creative and a chance to step away from the computer, have some fun, and create something "hands on" as well as getting myself in the festive spirit! I want to do create quite illustrative with typography, something I feel I need to improve on. 

I began, like all briefs, by doing some research. I collected these images from as inspiration! I want to create christmas cards quite similar, creating my own illustrative typography. I found the images below on Pinterest. 

I like the juxtaposition of the fir tree and the hand-rendered type 

The scripted typography works well, I like the rustic quality yet still looking professional

 I simply want, 'Merry Christmas' on the front. Regarding print finish, I am thinking maybe screen print? maybe some foiling?  I felt I didn't research extensively as, alas, it's a christmas card. I want to have fun, draw, and be playful and I feel a christmas card doesn't need a deep profounding concept!
