Beautiful painting, as always. I can't wait to get this stamp set. This love that is coming through her expression captures perfectly how I feel about all animals. Not advocating taking animals from the wild. Just saying that they all deserve love and protection. Sweet, sweet card.
I love your bird! We always notice our own imperfections, and more often than not, don’t see the ones in others’ work. She just looks like a tiny petite bird (seems like something we all aspire to be - ‘petite’). 😁. Your work is exquisite - as always! Love how you did the hair...and all the shading.
I vote for how your did it!!! That stamp is such a example of wrapping up the bird with love and I am sure it resting on her hair was just delightful! If I owned the stamp I would paint it exactly the same way!!!
I find something so soothing watching you water color paint or coloring with copic. I study how you shade and mix the colors. Love it. You do such great crafting.
I love the brown bellied bird!!! Lovely coloring as usual Kristina! I think you’re right, the Distress ink may have a chemical reaction with the Ink on 3 fadeout. You’re amazingly talented, and thanks for sharing your time & talent with us, Blessings & Hugs!!!
I think this card is so organic looking and so beautiful...! As for the bird's belly, be looks awesome...less weight on him...lol. Thank you so much for sharing you passion 😊
I would love to see a zoom out of you water coloring to learn when you dip your brush in paint, water or dab at a rag. I always have too much water or paint...can't seem to get it right.
I love watching you watercolor. So soothing. Inspires me to dabble in it when stamping. ❤ I know you said not to comment on the bird, but I don't notice it much on the final cars even knowing. I think someone that is so lucky to receive this card would be so enamoured with the shading and painting that they at most they might spot the belly and wonder. But, to someone who doesn't know, it isn't definitively a belly. In fact, it has a weird line for being the belly.
This is such a beautiful card. Thank you for sharing your oops, but don't be so hard on yourself! Focus on the positive and there is so much positive to see. Gorgeous card.
1. Really appreciate your honest review of the ink. 2. Absolutely thought the "belly portion" was hair. Would have painted it exactly the same way. 3. Really love your coloring and impressed with the very fine lines you achieve. 4. You're a star! 5. Thank you.
Oh, Kristina, I think the entire piece turned out so beautifully. When I saw this image released I was bit intimidated by the hair, so I appreciate seeing how you watercolored it. Appreciate you sharing your honest opinion out the ink, I'll be interested to see hownyou like it with Copics. Thanks for sharing how you made this gorgeous card!
O my God, you're so sweet explaining about your mistake with the bird's belly :) Me personally I see a lovely girl wrapping gently a bird with her hair to make him feel safe :)
loved it,,, didnt even notice the birds belly untill u mentioned it,,, but, forget it .. u r a great artist anyway :-) really loved the colours and all,,, cheers x
That little girl with her birdie is the sweetest image. I think it turned out beautifully as all your pieces do. I think that is the Brown Belly Love Bird she is holding.
In spite of all your qualms about the paper and bleeding etc...I feel this is so beautiful and you were on the top of your game and she is just lovely to look at....I hope you do this again and again with some changes in colors etc....I just love this...it is beautiful. Gosh maybe you need more problems... as this work is beautiful...............LOL pat
Girl, I love watching you create, no matter the situation. You being there did not make a difference . The card is stunning, love that girl on the card. Really appreciate the information on the products . You rock!!!!!
I love this stamp set...after seeing your beautiful painting, I want it even more!!! Just lovely, Kristina! And made even more so by all the love your crafting friends contributed to it! : ) 💛💛💛
Well I did NOT notice that coloring mishap until you brought it up. And my eyes are NOT drawn to that area. Lol🤣 I'm just in aww of all the detail. Incredible painting, her hair is phenomenal. Just wanted you to know. I love it! It's remarkable ❤❤❤
It's really Beautiful Kristina and to tell you the truth, "No it doesn't bother me at all when I look at the birds belly" I think it could be either or. Either a fat bird or a skinny bird😊🥰❤❣ I think it's Stunning. Matter of fact I'm going to see if they still have the Stamp Set, because I'm going to buy it😊😊🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❣
I would have painted that as her hair too. The bird even without the belly bit still looks in proportion so it’s all good! So interesting to hear your thoughts on the ink Kristina. I loved watching you paint and even though you thought it looked as if it bled slightly, i think it looks wonderful. Great card ❤️
Thank you for this! I just got this set, sat down to no Line watercolor it, and it looks crap. Turned to YT and lo and behold my favorite watercolorist has a video! I’ll try again with distressed oxides, instead of watercolors. I used antique linen for the stamping but my skills at watercolor leave much to be desired.
I've used the fade out ink with no line watercolor using distress ink and have not had any issues. I'm guessing that you double stamped the image so it would be visible to your viewers. If that is true then I don't think you would have had any problems had it only been stamped once and was its original very pale color. I wouldn't have noticed anything wrong with the bird had you not poor pointed it out and I had really studied this stamp set since I ordered it! TFS and for displaying your boundless talent.
This is gorgeous Kristina and as for the bird, I still think it looks like her hair! LOL Actually I think it looks better as her hair as it looks like it would make the bird misshapen if it were his belly. Just my thoughts. Either way, I love it. Also, when I get together to craft with friends, we almost never get anything made. LOL We catch up and eat...
STUNNING! I love the Inkon3 Fadeout - but it was designed for pigment (watercolor) - not ink/dyes - so that might be why Distress ink is making it bleed. Hot press is not my friend. I totally thought that was part of her hair too :D I freaking love this stamp set.
First, colorful birds can have grown bellies. I never would've noticed. ☺ Second, I was drawn to this tutorial because of the "jagged" edges. It looks cool, imo.
Beautiful painting, as always. I can't wait to get this stamp set. This love that is coming through her expression captures perfectly how I feel about all animals. Not advocating taking animals from the wild. Just saying that they all deserve love and protection. Sweet, sweet card.

You are a very talented artist. I really like that you did the hair in place of the brid. It looks more romantic with her hair enveloping her.
I think this card is so organic looking and so beautiful...! As for the bird's belly, be looks awesome...less weight on him...lol. Thank you so much for sharing you passion 😊
Love that you tell when you do something incorrectly. But the result is wonderful.
It’s so beautiful! I would have never noticed you colored the bird wrong! It’s not a big deal at all!! Love!!
I agree with Kim. If you hadn't mentioned it never would have seen. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Stunning card! I could watch you paint for hours...you make it look so effortless.
Thank you for being real!!! Your work is beautiful AND thank you for giving us your experiences of inks on paper & different ink combos used. 😁
Beautiful!!! You can't even tell (about the bird). Love it!!!!
Guess I’m surprised to hear someone would make negative comments at all. I didn’t notice the bird either. I could watch you paint all day.
I think this card is lovely! I personally love the soft look of it. 😁
Wow this colouring is amazing, Kristina! And I love this stamp set, too!
I would have totally colored hair instead of bird belly! I am so glad I'm not the only one that does stuff like that! Thanks Kristina!
I would have painted it as her hair too! Beautiful as always!!
This is such a beautiful card. Thank you for sharing your oops, but don't be so hard on yourself! Focus on the positive and there is so much positive to see. Gorgeous card.
So lovely. This looks like something from the Renaissance.
I love the colors and the style of this card. Your skills always leave me amazed!

5. Thank you.
Beautiful card - soft, lovely coloring! I have never tried no-line watercoloring, but you have inspired me to try it out!
So pretty and peaceful. Always love your watercolouring!
You really have a gift. A beautiful painting.
Absolutely love the shading on the face.

Your work is always beautiful. You're truly inspiring.
Looks like her hair to me, too. The coloring is beautiful.
I think it looks great! I would've never noticed it. Thank you for sharing

Gosh maybe you need more problems... as this work is beautiful...............LOL pat
Your videos are helping me with my water coloring so much. Thank you.
I love your videos. You have such a calming voice and your painting is fabulous. I would have colored the belly also as if it was hair!! TFS
I still can’t see the bird belly... such gorgeous coloring!!
Girl, I love watching you create, no matter the situation. You being there did not make a difference . The card is stunning, love that girl on the card. Really appreciate the information on the products . You rock!!!!!
Kristina you are a true artist. Your paint job is lovely! The card is beautiful!
Absolutely love this card! ❤️☺️
I love this image and the water coloring. I don't think I can buy this stamp now, because mine would never come close to yours. Beautiful.
To me it looks like the bird is nestled with her hair.... so beautiful, Kristina!! Love it!! :)
What a beautiful card. U never fail me.
I love this stamp set...after seeing your beautiful painting, I want it even more!!! Just lovely, Kristina! And made even more so by all the love your crafting friends contributed to it! : ) 💛💛💛
This is such a pretty card. I love your colors. I wish the cover sheets showed coloring so you can figure out the pattern before messing up a card!
Well I did NOT notice that coloring mishap until you brought it up. And my eyes are NOT drawn to that area. Lol🤣 I'm just in aww of all the detail. Incredible painting, her hair is phenomenal. Just wanted you to know. I love it! It's remarkable ❤❤❤
I think it's beautiful!! Really pretty image, the beautiful girl & bird!! Bird's tummy is fine!! ☺️
She's lovely. You gave her a very soft look which is perfect with this beautiful image.
It's gorgeous! For me, I kinda like the little bit of bleeding, it looks more natural.
Loved how you made do and used a clipboard to use to paint the watercolored background on. Great idea!!
It's really Beautiful Kristina and to tell you the truth, "No it doesn't bother me at all when I look at the birds belly" I think it could be either or. Either a fat bird or a skinny bird😊🥰❤❣ I think it's Stunning. Matter of fact I'm going to see if they still have the Stamp Set, because I'm going to buy it😊😊🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❣
You make me want to try new things! I have never used watercolor for cards. May need to try it with my new distress inks:). Beautiful!!
Beautiful. Would have never noticed the bird. TFS!
Oh wow! What beautiful work. Thanks for sharing. Such a treat. Got o get this stamp!
Love it! Very very beautiful 😍😍😍
Absolutely GORGEOUS!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
I love the no-line coloring look. I need that superfine brush. I’ve had mine too long and it definitely doesn’t make fine lines like yours!
I would have painted that as her hair too. The bird even without the belly bit still looks in proportion so it’s all good! So interesting to hear your thoughts on the ink Kristina. I loved watching you paint and even though you thought it looked as if it bled slightly, i think it looks wonderful. Great card ❤️
I love, love, LOVE this image and the way you colored it! The girl has such a sweet face.
Lovely card. Thanks for sharing.
Al though the ink pad used was not the best one, you sure did wonders with the distress ink Kristina. TYFS.
really nice watercoloring...thank you!
Its so nice to craft with friends!!! I love it!!! Beautiful and sweet card!!!
Don't sweat the bird Kristina. It's looks beautiful and if you hadn't have said anything about it, I would never had even noticed.
So beautiful! What a great stamp too. Thank you so much for sharing your incredible talent with us!
Even though the ink bled, this is still a gorgeous card, Kristina. Thank you so much for sharing!
Very sweet stamp design, love the coloring too, glad you had a great time with friends! 💜💙💜
What a cute card!!
Love the bird😍
Gorgeous!

Memento "London fog" is amazing with "no line" copic coloring the color is extremely light 😊
Love this image!
beautiful coloring...
GORGEOUS

This is such a beautiful card! I really love that image!!
I know I've done the same thing when coloring. Ur card is precious
Beautiful coloring.
Such a beautiful and sweet card, love how it turned out
You are so amazing!!!!!!!!!!

Understand Blue Thank you for sharing this about the Inkon ink.
Dear, your bird happens to have a brown belly, that’s all! Nature is amazing! 😘
So beautiful!!
Beautiful card! TFS!
Pretty colouring. I can see why you'd think the birds belly was hair. Who, us comment? We'd never be so unkind :).
I think it can be hair or bird, not noticeable enough to worry. I like how you shadowed her closed eye's. Going to practice that tip.. thank you.
Awesome water coloring. Lovely card
No problem! The card is wonderful. TFS

Brown, not grown
