In this week's Watercolor Challenge, Angie has us learning to make splatter trees (or splatter anything you like). I watched the video at 4:00 yesterday morning, then tried to make it at lunch. I missed a few of the good steps, but after I added in some Christmas balls and the sentiment this morning - I think it still came out well.
Thanks for sharing that great tutorial, Angie, and for inspiring us. Especially for inspiring those of us who still have a few Christmas cards to get done and out - lol or nlol.
Also adding to the MIX challenge this week - snow quiet. I would be better if I had a dark sky but it imagine the tree is out way in the country with the only sound the soft footsteps of a small deer - then it is more peaceful.

What a lovely tree, Nancy - I think it turned out great. I can't imagine watching a video at four and then remembering enough of it to make something as super as this.
