Hi, I wanted to learn to paint watercolors. Through you I got to know the doddle. I love it. Thank you very much, so I was able to transform watercolors from ugly to beautiful.

They are all beautiful! I really like sparkly things, so I’m always happy when you add gold. Those two colors you used towards the end for the reddish ornaments were especially nice. That looks like a fun paint set. Thank you for this video. It was the perfect way to start my day!

Perfectly lovely !!! They're all my favorite lol the red border is one that I'll be making. I love that there are tiny details in the ornaments/ stars 🤗 they're understated and just beautiful.

Love watching, and now you have this beginner thinking maybe I could do these too! Pick a favorite, how do you do that? I loved the first two but you know when you showed the cards with the backgrounds that you hadn’t taped off, just freeformed, I liked those better. And the one with no background just the shading under the tree and the line art border. Well, that was a winner too, so my favorite, hmm I think it numbers ten ir so 🥰🥰. So sorry about the water spill. Sounds really normal for my crafty table. Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring. Patti

Once you put a wash down always best to leave it alone, no matter what the temptations are. You do have a nice technique but that helps. Lovely cards!

thanks, Cathy. the ones with the torn edges are from handmade paper i brought from a local shop, La Papeterie St-Armand. they don't have an online store unfortunately.
