Impromptu Pre-Christmas/Winter a-thon December 3-6

[LuAnnP]

Thanks for hosting Sniisk. Nothing like an unexpected ATHON.

I've been wanting to try some winter watercolour scenes so it's perfect timing.

Strand of Birch Trees - Available

This is absolutely LOVELY, Sara!

Both of these are "series" cards. So there are others of the same basic design, but of course each HD/HP card is slightly different. I won't mark these traded until all FIVE copies are traded. The two shown here are gone, but others are so similar you'd never know.... but if you offer a trade I can post a picture of the actual one you would get....

In the gallery, I titled this one "Hey, Vicki..." but that is NOT written on the back....

It is the same "Interactive X" pattern that I've used before. The tree has modified Zentangle designs, and a surprise when you "move" the four points.

Happy Little (Christmas) Tree

Inspired by Bob Ross. Last year I made these with Prismacolor pencil, but these acrylic gouache trees are much brighter.

Both cards come with a little folded mini book that explains the series.

Both were made for the (unsuccessful) open house I attended Dec 2 and 3...so they are pre-ATART but I am hoping that is okay. (If not, I will move them to the Gallery instead of the ATART Gallery)

Thank you everyone for posting some great cards.

Here are a few of mine:

We have more players than I expected. It's always good to see that people are not too busy with other things .

I have made also backgrounds for the Post Christmas ATART. I hope to be ready when it starts.

Smart thinking!

Ok another abstract. They’re kind of fun. The photo is a little dark, but it’s snowing outside and I’m just letting the filtered light in!

Sanna, what are you using to make your little dots on the border, is it silver paint? Really cool effect.

They are leftovers from my peel off stickers.

I'm using this weekend to make cards for the swaps I'm lurking on. Yesterday I made cards for the Walk Like an Egyptian exchange.

I don't usually do Christmas but found some vintage Santas that are just too cute.

Even though all our snow melted, your holiday cards are helping me get motivated to put up our decorations

I finished my cards for the gingerbread house swap:



And finished one card for the Impromptu Athon:

I managed to finish my waterfall cards but couldn't work out how to show all the sections so I scanned all the pictures of each one before I made the waterfalls.
