Love the card Cathy! The floral die is so delicate and the watercolor background effect is wonderful. I’m so in love with the colors of the new stamp pads. When I get done with surgeries on my foot and can start making some money again, I want to start buying some of those inks. OR, going to have to start figuring out how to make some money “creating” so that I can. Just don’t think I can stand to wait till the end of the year. 🤣. Foot surgeries are the absolute worst! Working as a nurse shuts you down for months when dealing with foot issues. 🙄. Thanks for sharing another great and beautiful card!

@czdesign Жыл бұрын

Oh wow. Foot surgeries are the WORST! I had one once… and was completely unprepared for the recovery time. I couldn't drive for eight weeks. All for a bone spur type of thing on my big toe. Not fun! you have my sympathy!

@dizzinese Жыл бұрын

I’m back. Been gone a while. This is the most simple looking thing to do, but ya know I really struggle watercolor techniques. I can do this one, but ink smooshing? Forget it! And painting a floral or something? Ha! Now truth be told I’ve only watercolored a floral bouquet once, but it was too saturated and lost the whole look of the light wash of color. And I cannot figure out the ink smooshing thing. I honestly think you need to be more relaxed about it and I’m not and I’m not a slow enough cardmaker. I always feel under the hun. So you make the watercolor with ink seem so effortless, but I just try too hard and can’t get it! I’m definitely OCD and going back over it too many times trying to get it just right just isn’t the thing that’s so pretty about watercoloring. You are a pro at this technique. Like I never think to do it or even to die cut from it! I’m working on stenciling now and was playing with paints the other day so I’ll get back around and work on it. Too little time does not a good cardmaker make! Lol
