Julia what a fabulous idea! This is perfect for someone who wants to get into card designs, but can't afford to purchase a bunch of supplies.

I love your card. It’s beautiful. Who needs stamps when you have a cotton ball and a pen? This is one you don’t mass produce, but give to special people. See you next Sunday.

You are so welcome Kathy! And I appreciate your feedback. I have been cutting out some of the mundane stuff that we all know anyway. And I wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do...

Love this idea. Stamps have their place but this is so much more original and artistic. 😊

@SeniorSusieStamps you did great with the line work here. I can't wait to see the Christmas cards. I have a hard time with cookie cutter cards yet I have bought so many stamps; most are unused! That was years ago though. I just need to trust my own creative skills. Like you!

@SeniorSusieStamps I LOVE them both. That's what I'm talking about. Loose, free and unique. I need to do better at line work. Mine seems choppy and stiff. Maybe...I just can't draw! Idk. But I want to!

I just love these flowers! How unique and pretty. Thank you for showing us how to make these. I can’t wait to see what you come up with for Christmas. I am a new follower and just love your calm voice and fun sense of humor

Hi Sybil - This is the nice thing about smooshing the flower faces in before you do the pen work. You can just follow the smoosh! And, it's the second line that really makes the impact. I have done several with only one line, and they are nice. But adding that second one seems to finish off the piece somehow.

Julia im loving this technique! Absolutely darling😁

Hi Julia, I was fascinated with your card project today, as I do something very similar (if not the same) but with watercolours on water colour paper. It is soooo fun to do. The best thing is that you don't have to be perfect, and it is best if you have white areas in your flowers. Julia, what inspired you to create your flowers this way? You are so right by keeping your hand loose as you draw the outlines, and a must to go over the lines several times. I usually allow my paint to dry like you before I doodle the outlines, but it can be done wet as well for a different look. Thank you for doing this video, Julia. 💖 God's blessings, love and hugs. 🌸🌺🏵🌼

Hi Gloria - This inspiration was one I woke up with last week, and could barely wait to get to the studio. When I was in the hospital with my sister last January, I saw some artwork that was probably in the back of my brain. All of a sudden it had to come out! I can say, it was a very enjoyable week in the studio. Attaching a pic of a Christmas card I made y'day because I know you don't do facebook - facebook.com/photo/?fbid=489750856913958&set=a.183450580877322 Have a very Blessed Week! Julia

This is the second time I've seen you use a 'smoosher', and I'm curious to know if you came up with the idea yourself recently, or saw it on another channel. NB cards has been using this technique for a long long time, and if you copied it from her, I'm disappointed that no credit for the technique was given to the original poster.
