Whoops, missed a day! No worries, let’s catch up:

Day 8’s gift was a Journey Together fun pack! These packs contain only three cards, so let’s see what we got:

We got the wonderfully pleasant Nymble and N’s Klink by Ayako Ozaki and Saboteri respectively, but this is actually my first time seeing this beautiful artwork of Sensu-style Oricorio by aspara! The Pokémon itself is perfectly framed by the water rippling around the rock it’s standing on and the curve of the shore, drawing the eye to the center of the image. The natural colour palette of slightly muted blues and greens really complements Oricorio’s purples and pale green. It really is a gorgeous artwork of an underrated Pokémon!

As for day nine, we got this Crabominable by Mitsuhiro Arita. Originally from Stellar Crown, this full art is wonderfully subtle in its execution, with Crabominable’s massive shape emerging from the haze of the blizzard. It really does look better in person than in my camera, so I’d encourage you to take a look! Of course, this version comes with the holiday snowflake stamp too!
