Christmas in July!? I know, I know, a lot of you already ARE making your holiday cards. I’ve only made one so far…this one is # two! Thanks to a bloghop for getting my snow on, so at least I’m one more card ahead than I was a week ago! Be sure to scroll down to the hop list at the end of this post. Also—there’s a Christmas in July sale all weekend too!

The sky is so easy – drop in color, then tip the paper to let it run!
The snow is fun to make this way – with Watercolor Grounds. Mix it to a consistency that will fling off your brush (the type of brush will determine how thick or thin it needs to be) then tap the brush on your hand to flick the grounds across the image like chunky snow!
