    I was just reminiscing with my siblings about Charlie Brown’s Christmas, and how we used to all cry for the ugly tree. Same thing for the fall version in which the pumpkin, left unchosen, cries pumpkin seeds! 😁

    • @sarahaileen
      @sarahaileen  Месяц назад +1

      Hi there! It’s wonderful to hear you’re getting started with watercolor-small projects like these are such a fun way to practice and enjoy the process. I'm using a washi tape to keep the borders clean. I've included a link to it in the video description (the 4th item in the supply list). It's gentle on paper and doesn't leave residue!

  • @amph4474
    @amph4474 Месяц назад +1

    I like the ink and wash look and it seems a little easier for beginners. A cute whimsical Paris street or French village scene would be fun. Also, I would love a whimsical ink and wash gingerbread house design. You are going to get sick of my suggestions! 😂

    • @sarahaileen
      @sarahaileen  Месяц назад

      Thank you so much for the suggestions-I love them! A whimsical ink and wash gingerbread house sounds absolutely adorable, and a Paris street or French village scene would be a lot of fun to bring to life in that style. I’m always up for new ideas! 💛

  • @shesatitagain234
    @shesatitagain234 Месяц назад

    Love your style! My channel has little to do with cards but I do toy around with them often at home, drawing mostly. I do the safety measure by drawing on a small piece of card stick (or blank index card) then attaching (with glue) it to a blank card. Saves on making mistakes and having to discard the whole project. I’m guessing you could trim down watercolor paper and attach the painting to a blank card. Keep up your lovely work!

    • @sarahaileen
      @sarahaileen  Месяц назад +1

      Love that, thank you so much for the tip! Your method of creating on a separate piece of paper is such a smart way to save a project from mishaps. Thank you for being here and for your note!

    Thank you so much! These are exactly what I needed to get started! I also appreciate the list of supplies. Don’t want to invest a lot of money in the beginning. Is there a special pencil to use at first before I do design in ink?

    • @sarahaileen
      @sarahaileen  24 дня назад

      You're so welcome! I'm so glad the list was helpful and you're excited to start! Any pencil will work-just sketch lightly or use an eraser to lighten the marks before adding ink. If you'd prefer a pencil that naturally leaves lighter marks, I recommend a 2H pencil. Its hard graphite makes lighter lines compared to standard pencils, which leave darker lines due to their softer graphite. I use a 2H pencil in this video (linked), and it’s also in the supply list there if you want to check it out! ruclips.net/video/TOOiZmzPplA/видео.html
      Happy creating, and don’t hesitate to ask if you have more questions! ✨

      These cards aren't folded, they're painted on one side and blank on the other. The blank side can be used for writing your message and signing the card.
