    The panel that wasnt made into a card: I loved it, navy blue instead of the green made it much better.

    Ardyth, I find you and your videos very inspirational. I credit you with encouraging us to just play with our supplies and to try things out. Yes sometimes these experiments do not work out well. BUT wow, when they do work it is amazing ... and it's all an incredible journey. Thanks so much. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊

    On your last "out of steam" background. I love it. I think if you let it set a bit, you might see the potential, too. Splitting it into two small pieces, like you did on your initial usage, with a sentiment between the pieces, I think it would be great. Love your work and your creativity.

    Gorgeous cards!! I love how you push the boundaries with your supplies so you make them work for you. I thought the final blue panel was beautiful but i love blue and teal. Pop a bold sentiment on top of the blue background maybe a few gems and you’re finished. I might splatter the background with a little blue flecks just for some more interest.

    I truly believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Your designs are just lovely, however with the last one you seemed to have felt you had gone in a wrong direction with the design and perhaps colour choices. Mistakes are just happy accidents 😅. If you walk away from it and come back later and look, I am sure you will find a creative way to display this background. White die cut leaves, silver spots, aqua panel behind it. Something will inspire you and you will get to finish the card. I look forward to the resurrection of your design. Happy crafting and thanks for your honesty and video. It makes us feel normal 😂🎉

    I personally love that final blue combo, I would have been happy with it, yes you did the right thing with the too many layers one just before it, it's not working I think. :) Love watching the process, I wonder(quietly) if stencilling over Patterned paper you dont like, would be a great option for using it up,.... hmmm.....must try :)

    • @ardyth
      @ardyth  7 дней назад

      This is all the panels I made in that session, in order, so 4 cards, one 'fail'. Honestly, it's rare enough that I fail badly enough to throw them out, so when it happens, I try not to worry about it and just move on to the next thing. Making cards for a video every week keeps me in good practice! Thanks so much for watching!

      I love the Altenew small, mini and micro brushes - the small ones are easy (for me) to hold, and give lots of control since there's no handle (plus they're easy to store). The mini and micro are good for getting into smaller areas. Thanks for watching!

  • @c.r.mcleod8959

    My favourite one was the one you stopped on at the end. I'd likely use a circle die & cut one full flower out to make that my focal point for a CAS style card, add a diamante to the middle of the flower. Can even trim down another part, stamp sentiment on white card & mount to extra cut strip & throw some Splatters on for good luck.
    That's just my idea 🙂
