    Thrilled over both cards! Finally grasped Blue/Gold versus Red/Silver. I once read that to keep JOY in your life, put Jesus first, Others second and Yourself last. So, I just love the word JOY! Thank you for being you and bringing us so much Joy.

      Beautiful comment. Keep JOY in our hearts by keeping Jesus first. It's what our world is crying out for. 🖌️🎨

    Love the abstract cards, but I would really love to see some winter/christmas book markers to go along with the the cards as a set. Just a thought. Blessings to you, AnnLyn.

    Excellent advice. If you like it stop.
    So many times I love it! But it was fast and easy so I don’t believe it can be that simple so I turn it in to something I don’t like as much. I love what you said. Next time I love it on the first run I’m stopping and getting some more paper to paint another one!

    With a last name of JOY I had to play with that! I ended up with a much chunkier JOY and did Zentangling with Indigio and Gold's inside the letters. Fun and relaxing!!

    I love your work and You make everything easy for us beginners. I made a whole bunch of snowman from your other video and they are so cute. I’m obsessed with them.I’ve got like five ready. I need to paint my son-in-law a pine tree forest and I don’t even know where to begin. I did those birch trees with a credit card they turned out awesome! I love birch trees so that was really exciting for me to do. But what I find hard with the watercolor paints is blending colors. In particular that one video you had of that little log cabin and the beautiful background with the dark sky. I tried doing that sky and it turned out like garbage, because I couldn’t get the colors to blend. But I’m going to keep trying and watching more videos. Thanks again you’re a great teacher.

    Pebeo drawing gum is my favorite masking fluid. It dries quickly, so i pour a little into to use in a bottle cap and recap the bittle right away. If you work liquid dish soap into your brush first, the masking fluid will rinse out.

    Dear Ellen, I am Lise from Norway, love your Christmas cards tutorials ❤ one question: can you explain why black doesn't seem natural to use for really dark night? And what to use to make it really dark, where there are no other lights than stars, or perhaps no stars either? Would love to learn this trick.
