Those turned out gorgeous! ! Hope this upcoming auction raises enough that your friend won't worry about treatment. When my dad was battling lung cancer, I put together a bbq cook off with a raffle, silent auction, and 50/50 drawing. We raised enough money to pay all his co-pays and transportation costs for treatment. It's a ton of work, but the benefits of organizing these things far outway the stress/anxiety. I'm always down to help get benefits going!

Beautiful cards 💜What a wonderful way that you are all helping out your friend. Kudos to all of you for caring for and supporting her during her treatment journey.

These cards are amazingly beautiful!!! I will pray for your friend, for Gods peace, comfort and strength and healing! Insurance companies should not be allowed to change a treatment that a doctor recommends because of money!!!!

My mother passed away in 2021 from small cell lung cancer. My mom was absolutely the STEONGEST human being I have ever known. God only gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers. She approached her cancer with such bravery and grace. I would fall apart!! She is and forever will be my Super Hero!!

I love how you colored these large blooms and also the bokeh background. That background was super interesting. My prayers go out to your friend, Tina. I know what she's going through as am dealing with a similar situation with insurance. I hope things work out and please do keep us informed about your auction. Thanks so much for being YOU.

You are the only one who explains how Copics work together. Thank you

Oh Kelly these are DREAMY BEAUTIFUL works of art. I'm sure I won't begin to be able to afford what they will bring at auction but I would love the chance to try. Can't wait to hear more about this event and prayers for this sweet dear lady in Jesus name ❤

These are soooooo beautiful, Kelly! Love the bokeh background, but those gorgeous flowers…!!!!

Beautiful cards Kelly. Prayers for Tina!

Beautiful cards please sign your cards so whoever gets them knows they are a Kelly Taylor special ❤

❤stunning cards!! Keep us updated on your friend Tina. She is in my thoughts and prayers ❤ keep doing what ever you can to help her financially through her challenging time

I really love to color like you. I am learning to do it better specially when I get really depressed. This is the first time I see you coloring. I want to learn to do it as you do. Thank you for what you do. I am a strong Christian and I want to help others too.❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

Such beautiful cards! Your coloring ability is awe inspiring! Unfortunately your friend’s experience is not an uncommon one these days, and it is a crime. Insurance companies should never be driving the bus for someone’s care…but they do. You all are awesome to be doing what you are to support her. Do keep us informed!

These are AMAZING!! Love the crafting community for taking care of each other ❤

💞💞💞 Art, cause, artist…love everything about this!

They are amazing. Thank you for sharing your talent. May God meet Tina’s needs. 🙏🙏🙏

I saw these cards on the blog hop but missed the video. I am so so happy you made this video and I absolutely LOVE this technique. These cards were my favorite and I am thrilled to see how you colored them and created that fabulous, ethereal background! Thank you for sharing about Tina, and am looking forward to hearing about the auction. You and your fellow crafters are so wonderful in your support.

Love this technique! As I looked at them I thought how beautiful they would look in frames😊 Special set for an even more special purpose❤

Hi Kelly! Love your cards and the use of bokeh in the background. I use the bokeh technique quite often in my photography…love it. Sending much prayer to your friend Tina.

Just stunning! I love the auction idea. It's an active thing you can all do to help Tina. We usually feel so darn helpless. I would love to see this done with ink blending.

Just gorgeous. And please do let us know as ways continue to be provided to help Tina. And especially she will be in my prayers - cause God is bigger❤

Wowza! Talk about truly stunning art! Your talents continue to amaze me, and I've been following your channel for a while now. Bless you for your contributions to help your precious friend. I've experienced a similar denial from an insurance company, and it IS infuriating! I'll keep her in my prayers for complete healing. What a testimony she's going to have!

These are all gorgeous Kelly, but the iris is just so so beautiful! I used to buy my mum irises when I was little after we'd had a row: it cost me 50 pence for an 2 irises and some gypsophila ...money well spent to see the smile on her face. So irises are very special to me. Thank you for such gorgeous cards again

That Irish is amazing.

Gorgeous flowers! I'm sure they will bless your friend Tina. My prayers go out to her. Shame on our insurance companies, they have done the same to me, against my doctors advice. I fight them all the time...

Praying for your friend. These cards are so beautiful. Hope the auction is a huge success. Can't wait to hear more about the auction and buy something beautiful to support Tina!

Beautiful cards for a beautiful cause. 💜💜💜

Oooh Kelly such a really effective technique. Love how they turned out.

Absolutely gorgeous technique & 3 masterpieces. Praying for your friend.

I think using the white pigment ink to create the Bokeh affect is far superior to using a colorless blender. Great tip Kelly!

Prayers for your friend❤❤❤

Such beautiful work! Your coloring is very inspiring as well as great teaching methods! Shading is something awesome that I've been trying to learn for years. I hope your friend is doing well. So sorry to hear about her insurance problems. I hope your auction worked out well to help her. Prayers to her and to you for your caring and love toward her and others.

OH MY GOODNESSES!!!!! It has been so long since I have had time to view your videos and THIS was what I saw when I had a minute. THESE ARE INCREDIBLE! THANK YOU so much for sharing!

I love the iris card, cuz I love irises! Can’t wait to try this technique. What a wonderful way to help your friend, Hope the auction is a huge success!

Kelly, what a wonderful friend you are. I hope you can raise $$$. I just love the backgrounds and i love the colouring of the flowers, my favourite is the Iris.

You are so talented. I dont know what school or training you have but ive been watching for a long time and what I wouldn't do for your level of talent. Plus I'll say your videos are so therapeutic for me. They chill me out. TY These are beautiful! Of course prayers and good vibes to your friend Tina.

Beautiful cards, Kelly, and for a blessed cause! I will add Tomato my prayers. 💙🙏💙

These are absolutely gorgeous!!!! I have learned a lot watching and truly enjoy watching your channel....and love your nails! My hairdresser had the same issue and I sincerely pray your friends outcome is good. 🙏

Definitely would make beautiful framed pics

These are stunning!!!

Just WOW. Amazing. I have never seen this technique before. I am also so sorry to hear about your friend. Xx

The backgrounds are amazing. Love the coloring of these flowers. Does Tina have a KZread channel or social media? We could help keep her channel going as she focuses on her treatments.

When I saw the colourful backgrounds (before you did the bokeh effect) I thought it looked like a sky with northern lights. Your cards are still beautiful but I loved those backgrounds.

These are all beautiful!! Hugs and prayers for your friend.❤

Stunning! Would love to see this technique with Karin brush markers!!!!!! When I say that I mean see you do it lol!!!!!

This was an incredible lesson. I would never have used those any of this two or three colours over each other.

Praying for your friend Tina! She sounds like an amazing person. You are amazing for doing what you are doing for her.

All of your techniques are great but it has been a long time since I have been this excited to try one. These backgrounds are stunning and I am excited to try this I just need to find the right set to use it with.

Oh Kelly, first of all, I am so sorry your friend has to go through cancer treatments in the first place and the fact that the insurance company won’t allow her to have the treatment her doctor recommended is just reprehensible. I do love the cards fronts you created, they are just beautiful! I make cards for my local church and if this auction would be open to normal people, I would be happy to donate some cards. They wouldn’t be of the same caliber as the artists on KZread, but I would like to help in some small way. I hope you have a great day! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I would love to frame those cards and put them in my craft room. So beautiful. Looking forward to the auction.

Wow these card, art is stunning 👌❤️. Unfortunately I live in Denmark, so it may be difficult to buy them. I really hope she will get the medicine she need, and will be recovering and get rid of the stupid cancer. My thoughts and prayers go to her, and her family ❤️

WOW! I never would have known how you made these backgrounds! I can not wait to try! (Wish I didn't have to go to a meeting!) These cards are SPECTACULAR!

This is such a beautiful idea for these gorgeous flowers

These panels are so Beautiful! I appreciate what you’re doing for your friend! It’s a beautiful thing! I’m praying for Tina and for You! I understand how expensive these treatments are! I’m on a treatment that keeps me alive.. I have POMS. The most severe form.. My treatment costs over $30,000 every six weeks. My insurance (Medicare) pays for it, Praise God! They pay just a fraction of the cost, but without insurance willing to pay for it, it would cost more than $30,000 per treatment! It’s completely insane! For someone never able to work, due to a pediatric onset neuromuscular disease, that would obviously be impossible for me to pay for! It’s literally the only drug I can take for my disease. Before this I had to be on long term chemotherapy and long term massive dose Solumedrol… This has so very many complications! God has been so very good to me, and He has a plan! Thank you for providing this channel! It brings me a lot of joy watching You, Jennifer, and Cathy Zeilski! I’m so grateful to all three of you ladies!

Wow, Kelly, those panels are absolutely incredible! I am so sorry to hear about what your friend, Tina, is going through. America's health insurance and pharmaceutical industries are cut from the same evil cloth. They play God with people's lives and it's so twisted and just plain wrong. Many, many lives would be saved if our health care system was modelled on Europe's and Canada's. It's nice that she has friends like you who are there for her. I will keep Tina in my prayers. God bless.

OMG the backgrounds look amazing, Kelly! I’m in love with the results!

This background is gorgeous

Wow! Stunning cards.

Beautiful technique and love tiur support for Tina.

Absolutely beautiful as usual Kelly thank have said the Sam thing about insurance companies 😡 drs go to school for many years just for a pencil paper pusher profit maker denies a drs medical knowledge god bless all of you helping her🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

I’m on a trip and catching up on your videos, I’m trying this as soon as I get home! Love it!

Beautiful pieces Kelly. I've just purchased the stamp bundle as I love the Colorado Big Bold Stamps too. Shipping to Australia was also a (reduced) flat rate, so an all round good deal. I was super chuffed to see your take on the collection. Love and blessings to your friend, it's a good thing you're doing. ❤

These are absolutely gorgeous! And what a fun background technique as well, thanks for sharing

Stunning cards Kelly. I love them!

Beautiful cards for a great purpose ❤

It is so very inspiring to watch you transform a blank page into a glorious work of art and this time times three! These are pieces of art which should be displayed and I’m sure whoever receives them will be elated! What a wonderful idea in helping a dear friend by donating your talent to help raise money! True friendship is everlasting! Continued Prayers for Tina!

Oh wow!! Love these - I have Copic markers but just don’t know how to use them yet very well - that’s great you’re helping your friend - my sister has stage 4 cancer and I completely get the insurance issues!

Kelly, You are inspiring! I went through the same thing with my husband. Have your friend contact the pharmaceutical company to see if the can help with offering a discount or free. They might have to submit some paperwork, but every little bit helps. God bless you, your family, and especially your friend. Sandy

Beautiful thing to do for your friend...❤

Beautiful set. Thanks Kelly

You can add vellum circles for bokeh look, too!

What an awesome way to help out! Beautiful cards❤

Beautiful! I am definitely going to try this bokeh technique. I’ve tried others before, but yours have a lovely softness. The bird of paradise is my fav, with out without the bokeh.

Stunning!! I would frame those!

Those backgrounds are so cool! never seen that done before. SO BEAUTIFUL

So beautiful!!!

amazing colouring. cool backgrounds. and most of all such a worthy cause! xx

Love the backgrounds. I bet they’d look perfect for a Christmas village. Every year Humana calls me for a pharmacy review and every year I tell them I have a team of specialists and I am doing what they suggest and am on the medication I’m on for a reason. I’m not interested in your opinion of which medications I could be on cheaper. I will add Tina to my prayer list.

Awesome end results!

❤ absolutely stunning

I will keep in touch for the auction!

Beautiful once again, great job❤

you make it look so easy!

I love your bokeh technique. It seems doable. I am surprised that the pigment ink on the flowers didn’t interfere with your coloring.

It makes me so grateful we have our NHS when i hear of the struggles such as what your friend is facing. You pay your insurance, it's disturbing that they can play russian roulette with someone's life. I look forward to seeing what else is on offer in the auction. These are stunning Kelly. ❤

Beautiful. ❤

So lovely ❤❤❤❤

Beautiful! 😊

Would it be possible to still donate to your friends cause? As a woman who has MS I’ve had to fight for my medicines and medical rights. This woman need not worry about a darn thing right now. I’d like to help, even if it’s just a little bit. ❤

Ahhh mazzing! Stunning! I'll look for more info about the auction since I just watched your video! Thx for always inspiring me!

Beautiful!

I have been a nurse for 28 years do not get me started on insurance companies.🤬 It makes me really angry to hear that someone in healthcare can not get the healthcare they NEED unfortunately it happens all too often. I would love to donate to your friend can you share the link for her go fund me? Praying for Tina, and thank you so much for sharing her story. I have been a fan of yours for several years and I want to "win" the auction of your art. Please keep us apprised of when and how to bid.❤

First off, these cards are absolutely stunning! Second, I can not convey the absolute rage I felt listening to your story about Tina. I have been in a similar situation with medication being denied by my insurance company. It is infuriating and inhumane. I pray that she beats this and I look forward to the auction.

Wishing your friend Tina all the best and I will help when you give details of the auction. I’ve been fighting an insurance company for 11 years to get procedures, surgeries, and medications approved. It’s absolutely exhausting and defeating.

Try a white bird of paradise.

These cards are SO DANG GORGEOUS. Holy moly. So, you use the actual Japanese word from which "bokeh" derives? ("Boke", as you know)

How about masking the flower image, or make full background then cut out and add flower?

First…those card fronts are absolutely gorgeous! I am really truly sorry to hear about your friend Tina. I’m never sure what gives an insurance company the right to deny treatment that is an accepted course for a certain condition. Talk about messed up. I hate dealing with insurance companies…it’s like hitting your head against a wall.

Absolutely gorgeous! Love that background technique too. I’ll be praying for your friend. Will people outside of the USA be able to bid on the auction items?

Kelly would you consider signing them? I want to participates/ bid in the auction
