Today we are making watercolor Christmas tree cards. I don’t always make my own Christmas cards (because that would be a ton of work haha) but I do enjoy making a few for family and friends! The Albrecht Dürer Watercolor Markers help to make a beautiful blend of colors.

You can tell so much about a person by looking at their ornament collection. Some are eclectic and different from one another... some are a series of similar ornaments that all come together to achieve a certain aesthetic... some are handmade... some are vintage... the list goes on and on! No matter what your style is... one thing remains the same. Ornaments are a staple of our holiday traditions and are truly special treasures.
