• Face the camera with shoulders square so the embroidered clothing and braids sit naturally.
• Avoid harsh shadows that can hide the fine detail of the festive look.

Where should I share my greeting?

When your card is ready, send it to friends and family on WhatsApp, post it to your Instagram feed or story, or set it as your status to share the spirit of the celebration with everyone who could not be there in person.
