Holiday Card Workshop 2014

Online Card Classes has amazing online card workshops!  I'm participating in their 2014 Holiday Card Workshop & am learning TONS of fun new techniques and getting so much inspo from the amazing instructors! Day 3 has us working with watercolors- something i haven't worked with very much. Jennifer Rzasa taught us how to free hand a lovely tree using watercolors, then embellish it and turn it into a very special holiday card. This was my first attempt, and although my tree & banner are a little wonky- I really like how it turned out! I snapped the photo with my phone while it was still on my desk- sorry I know it's not the greatest picture but still wanted to share! I'm so enjoying this workshop- it's great for getting the mojo back and completing some holiday cards a little bit ahead of schedule!! Hope to be back soon with more!
