Thanks Nancy - Easy and straight forward for sure!

I love this. I have lots of strips that are 3 3/4 by 10 inches from the boxes I make for my niece. I love the white and simple stamp idea. Thanks for sharing!!!

Same to you Kathleen! I really really enjoy painting with ink much more than coloring with markers.

Great cards! Love your nail polish too.

Me too Rosemary - Especially for nature theme cards.

Great cards Julia! Thank you for the tips about using the semi dry brush to add additional colors and shading! I also love that you splattered the inside panel too- I may have to try that!

You know me - I love to have the inside tie up with the front somehow!

Thanks Betty - I had a mani-pedi treat that week and met some of the local salon girls here in Blairsville. They are wonderful and I will be going back! That stamp set is one of my favorites for sure. It never disappoints.

Love the colors ❤

Thanks so much Marilynn! 😊 Yes, I can feel it coming back! Thank goodness, I was getting a bit depressed about it.

You are so talented Susie. Appreciated the tip about using a very small almost dry brush. Thank you for taking the time to put out a video when I know you must still be upside down!

LOL Sheila - Upside down and sideways some days I'm afraid. I have just accepted that until the farm sells and we get the new house built, I am just going to be without supplies. That includes baking pans, office files and all kinds of other parts to life. But I still know where the TP is LOL!!!

Hey julia, well what beautiful elegant those cards are. You used my favourite colour. Green!. Tfs with us. Love from across the pond in norfolk. England. As always take care lovely to see you. ❤

Hi Linda - That shade of green has been a fave of mine since I was a kid. Not too keen on the kelly green part of the family, but I am learning to do better color combination with the color cubes I got recently. So there's hope for Kelly too!

Love it!❤

Thanks Judy - That green/black combo works really well, especially for nature themed cards.

Beautiful cards! I think the speckled background set them off really nicely. I've got to get a fan brush one of these days.

Thanks Lucy - You can use an old toothbrush also. You don't need a fan brush. I only have one because it was in mama's brush collection.

Beautiful cards. I am running out of glue (Art Glitter Glue). I am going to try the PVA glue that you are using. I agree with you, Art Glitter glue dries so fast….

Let me know what you think about it Johanne - I have really been enjoying using it.

Hey there Julia, these cards are simply beautiful, and something that everyone can do with limited card making supplies. I remember when I first started making cards way back in the late 1980's - early 90's all I had was a few stamps, pigment ink pads and embossing powder. Initially all I did was stamp directly onto the card base. Layers came a little later after playing around with some basic-coloured cardstock I had at the time. It is sometimes nice to get back to basics and whip up a few cards. I could see the cute little bird card with a free hand boarder and some of those fabulous little random squiggles like a zigzag thingies...! It was a shame that the memento ink didn't show up in the stamping of the flower as I think that would have been stunning as you would have got more of the fine detail from the centre of the flower. I am just wondering what you could have used to achieve the result you hoped for. What about a saturated ink dauber, and then stamp immediately. Julia, you are a smart woman using a splatter box when splattering paint... I do not, and often get paint where I don't want it. I have even had to clean up paint splatters that I found on the wall underneath my window. I have plenty of smallish boxes out in the garage. I should bring one into my craft studio to use for just that... it would save on having to clean up everything!!! God's blessings, love and hugs. Gloria 🥰🌻❤

Hi Gloria - Those little blending brushes have a really tight brush tip, and I think they just didn't pick up enough ink. A foam dauber would have been the thing to use, if I could find it LOL. That spatter box could be a little taller on the sides for sure. But I was trying to show the splatter technique, and not get too close to the camera. Oh well...Have a Blessed week my friend! Love & Hugs, Julia

❤❤
