Love these! I especially enjoy your mixed media approach. There is nothing wrong with a little ink on top of watercolor. Your choice of colors too Marena, is excellent. That little glow of yellow really makes these cards pop. Also, your the first artist I’ve seen who uses black and white splatters. What a difference that makes. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you!

I turn them on both sides while drying. That is how they stay flatter.
These are very nice. I would like to give this a try, but I can't afford to do all individual cards. Do you have a process for quality multiple reproductions?

Not sure what you mean
Okay I have to admit that I am fuzzy when it comes to baubles. I can doodle but baubles need to be round. And no, I don't want blue and black snowmen with black (of all colors) snowflakes either. But it was fun to watch anyway. I personally like it more when I paint first and doodle just a little bit in the end. I need the paint to be the main thing, not the doodling.

Well, that sound great. We should all be different and have our preferences, but also respect that. Thank you so much for your comment and I am glad you had fun watching it. Maybe got an idea. :) Happy holidays!
I don't send/mail paper cards anymore. Only e cards. It is because I only want to use paper that is recycled. We can send e cards without using up our trees. But if I were giving a card to someone in person, it would be one of yours.
