    My son and I had a very fun afternoon cutting out trees for our cards and tags. I think I have enough for about 2000! Very fun tutorial! Thank you so much for a fun & doable idea!

      That is awesome! They are addictive!

    What a great way to use those "failed" paintings. Love the fun and simplicity.

    What a brilliant idea! I've spent all weekend hand painting my cards and still don't have enough! I shall definitely be using this idea too! Thanks Karen 😊💖

      Wonderful! This idea makes it so much quicker as well. I also find it very therapeutic just finding little gems in the backgrounds of paintings that I have discarded.

    I love how you remind us viewers that “less is more”. It’s so true. These tags and cards are beautiful. Thank you for sharing this tutorial!

    I did some of those cards last year. Diane Antone had a tutorial on them. Very pretty! ❤

    Another idea for the wording is to use the stamps. I was able to get some really inexpensive sheets of word stamps that I hope to use with my cards

    • @kelliebach5240
      @kelliebach5240 8 месяцев назад +3

      I forgot to say that you can apply watercolor paint with the brush to the silicone stamp. It’s not as crisp as using ink, but it can make a nice effect, especially if the watercolor is a thicker consistency.

    Just watched this and love them! The Brusho trees are epic - I am definitely simplifying next year 🙏. I wonder if you could create multi-petal flowers 🌺 in a similar way … for other occasions …🤔. Big thanks 🤩

    Working with the stickers, it's easier if you moisten your finger (some cringe but a little spit goes a long way) you can use a touch of water as well. Your cards turned out lovely.

    those cards are lovely! it's funny. in the US we get silver-toned caps and hooks on most ornaments I think I would like the brass better' I'll have to look for them next time I'm there [hopefully in season] is Harrods as amazing at Christmas as I think it would be? I have subscribed

    • @KarenRiceArt
      @KarenRiceArt  7 месяцев назад

      Thanks for sharing! I haven’t been to Harrods for years at Christmas! I imagine it’s still amazing at Christmas time.

    • @KarenRiceArt
      @KarenRiceArt  8 месяцев назад +1

      I could do… Telephone, I don’t really know much about this subject and there’s lots of really good videos on RUclips which would hopefully be helpful for you.
