I have a video today on my blog and YouTube channel sharing two Christmas cards with easy watercolour backgrounds that even a beginner could have a go at!
Back in August, I created a card with a soothing easy watercolour background that I really enjoyed making. In September I was sketching out some ideas, and I really wanted to have another go at this style of background with a Christmas colourway. Time passed by, and it wasn't until I was hit over the head by two lots of inspiration that I finally got paint on paper to create these cards. Firstly, Kristina Werner's Simply Watercolour Christmas card class has taken me right back to my clean and simple roots. Often as not less is better than more! Secondly, I saw a piece by Catherine Cote (creationsceecee) on Instagram that reminded me of my sketch, and I thought the two styles paired well together.

I am so intimidated by watercoloring, but your cards (and description) is inspiring me to try it again! These cards are both simply beautiful and I saved to my favorites.
