Happy to make Holiday Cards

Shelby showed how versatile watercolour can be by teaching this course. She showed through her skills and experience how to bring joy to others at different times of the year through creativity and imagination. Combining colour schemes and techniques that can be interchangeable to fit the season, watercolour shows off how affective it can be and Shelby is just the person to do it!

Not only were the cards simple to make they were beautiful as well. And there are many ways to adjust these cards to make each one unique putting a trunk adding a star or other tree topper adding ornaments round or other sizes the shapes very pretty.
