The Challenge #53 A Non-traditional Christmas Card

 

I think this qualifies for both color and image using watercolors for my images  I have a hard time coloring using water colors.  I guess it is like any other a learning curve.

The Challenge 

MFT - Sweet Tweetings 

My Minds Eye - Merry Little Christmas pattern paper.

PTI's Hibiscus Burst Saddle Stitched Ribbon

Make It Monday #233 with Danielle, Spattering

 

A card for MIM 

Wanted to take a break from Christmas Cards so decided on watercolors.

I may have gone overboard on the splatters.  I almost wish the splatters were just on the outside of the watercolored image.  

PTI's Botanical Blocks III - Simply Chartreuse pattern paper.

Embossed in white.  

Merry Monday #182 - Bird

 

There are several images that I have mental blocks when it comes to making cards

 and birds are one of them, so it took me several tries before I was happy with it.

This is Kathy's challenge, so come see what she and the rest of the team has done and play along with us.

This year it is cold but at least sunny.
