The Nativity in "Lace" Christmas Card
The Nativity in “Lace” - A7 Christmas Card
Graphite pencil illustration by Rowan Bathan
This elegant card features a masterfully hand-rendered depiction of the Nativity, inspired by 18th-century Catholic holy cards and the Trompe-l'œil technique. While traditionally achieved with lace die-cuts, Rowan Bathan skillfully recreates the delicate effect using graphite pencils.
The star, reminiscent of the Filipino parol (a symbol of the Star of Bethlehem), reflects the artist’s cultural heritage and adds an intricate, festive touch. Combining multiple references—from the Nativity scene to radiant starbursts—this design is both timeless and unique, blending Christmas tradition with cultural artistry.
Perfect for those who appreciate sacred beauty and thoughtful craftsmanship.
