I am hosting the WCW challenge this week and hope you will enjoy it. You can either make it a Christmas card or leave off the ornament and make it a winter card.
I had my paper very wet where the trees went and went I touched it with my watercolor brush after getting the paint on it the paint ran and practically made the trees by itself. So fun to watch. I did a little touching up but not much.

I like that you made your branches green and how you spaced them to let the background trees show through. I thought about doing it but decided to stay with all blues on the card. I may paint another just to get my green branches in.

How delightful it must’ve been to watch those trees appear before your very eyes with barely a touch of your brush once you’d prepared your paper! It would’ve been fascinating, I’m sure, my friend. I’m away visiting family for Christmas, so my room sits waiting for my return. There’s a bit of an ice storm on currently so it’s nice to be tucked safely away!
I hope you had a lovely Christmas, and are looking forward to an exciting New Year filled with love, hope, joy, and a good measure of creativity.
