I can do this! I just started learning watercolor painting a year ago and this seems simple enough for me to do. I might try using salt as well. Great for an overall background, then add hand lettered "Peace" or "Noel". I've already got envelopes done with airbrush, micas and gold leaf for my eight closest relatives and friends. The cards will be a big surprise as only my sister and best friend know I've been messing about with watercolors. Thanks for posting, new subscriber!

Thank you for mentioning the Monday Mini Madness. It's inspired me to subscribe. I've been in an unproductive funk, too. I've had to put my ego on the shelf and admit that despite over 55 years of painting experience, I need tutorials to jump start my creativity. These look wonderful, in addition to all of Ellen's seasonal projects. I love Christmas, so I'm very motivated to paint them. And thank you, Ellen!
