Such cute and east cards. I have that set and will try these. Thanks.
Beautiful card Tina! I’m going to give this a go, haven’t ever tried this technique!
Tina, I enjoy your blog, but I can't pin your ideas for future reference. Can you help me?
Thanks for your comments, everyone! I'm so glad you enjoyed this card tutorial. Lynda, I use the pin button on my task bar that I downloaded from pinterest, and that works. Meanwhile, I'll look into why the pin (save) button on images isn't working – thanks for letting me know!
This technique is so beautiful. The colours you used jump right out at me. Indeed, this is one lovely tree.
these are all so beautiful!!
I just watched this video on your watercolor technique on a block. I am going to use this in my April class. Wow factor made easy!!! Thanks for sharing. Susan Demonstrator in Aberdeen, MD.
Hi Susan! Thank you for your kind comments! Your class will LOVE this technique! Have fun and HAPPY STAMPING! xx
I just found you and the Sheltering Tree cards. There are so special and your technique is "WOW". Thank you for sharing.
I was searching for High Tide ideas today and stumbled on your marina mist card. Immediately fell in love and watched the video. I love that your boo boos were what drew me to your card! You fixed it beautifully!
Hi Jill! I am so pleased to hear you enjoyed this card and video! THANK YOU! Happy Stamping!
I love finding cards with old stamp sets – I have these sets and can start right away making the cards. Nothing worse than finding a card you want to make and have to order and wait for the set to arrive.
