Watercolored the bird and pine branch. Not a lot of "mango" except in the beak area. Took advantage of neutrals for this card. "Toothbrush spritzed" the navy with white for snow.

Sallie, your Christmas card is just so amazing! Love that sweet bird and your water coloring, the branch that he sits on, the snowy sky and the lovely gold edging that helps make it even more special!

I've never seen a bird like this one, Sallie, but is he ever cute out in the snowy weather all puffed up! Such an adorable cas scene....Love your toothbrush splatters for the falling snow~

Awesome use of the challenge colors for a Christmas card. Love how you colored the bird. The branch is terrific. Wonderful splatters on the neutral navy for snow. The gold embossing and edges are beautiful finishing touches. Very nicely done!
