Brenda gave us a video where the artist is painting pine needles and a bauble. I followed her techniques, only added some white gouache. Nice to have another Christmas card done. TFL

So beautiful! I like how you added snow to your branches—beautiful splatters in the background. Your handwritten sentiment is exquisite. Fantastic Christmas card!

gorgeous.!!! I am loving ALL of these watercolor differences!! Your thicker, cragly branches and the fun speckled bg really add personality! Thanks for sharing it with us. Teresa

Gorgeous, Linda. I love how you sketched the branch/needles. The ornament is so pretty, too.

I like that you planned for a long card with the shape of your paper. Your branch is nice and textured and using a bit of gouache for snow adds a great touch.

Oh - I am so envious of those beautifully painted tree branches. They have such a beautiful shape and a natural flow. The bits of "snow" on the branches and needles really adds to the overall feel of this scene.

Gosh, I love what you've done with your background, and I love the elongated card with the embossed edge design, and then to top it off that gorgeous painting with the addition of the white on the pine needles is fabulous! Love your creativity!
