Hand drawn cards

I can’t work out if I’m incredibly cringe or if this is socially acceptable.

Would it be weird to give a hard drawn card to a colleague for a birthday or Thankyou? I can’t work out if I would be overstepping the line.

I’m talking very handmade with a drawn and coloured picture, these in no way look professional. I absolutely love drawing, I find it hugely relaxing. Sadly though, I have not been blessed with talent.

Is this a social faux pas and am I being unreasonable in giving a handmade card?

I have been making cards for the last few years. I never sell them, but my local charity shop are glad to sell them. So I recently started doing hand drawn ones too. I'm no artist, but people love getting a handmade card and I do spend a lot of time on them so they aren't an easy option. I say carry on, you don't have to be an artist. I'd love a handmade card. I get inspiration from Pinterest and YouTube, simple drawings but they go down well. I've attached an example.

I love this design. It’s kind of quirky and fun. Although it is really simplistic, it looks professional. I would buy this card.

That someone has gone to the trouble to put in the time and effort to draw me a hsnfnsde card would totally melt me.

even if it wasn’t art gallery standard - I would be so moved that they took this trouble over a card for me and I would be so touched and feel so special and would keep it forever.

anyone can pick up a load of cards in card factory and that is lovely to receive - but a hand drawn card is just so unique and would really be well received by me .

I would love something like that. It means so much more than a 25p card from Card Factory.
There is time spent, and love, that has gone into it.
