Like the music- simple, not loud, goes down when you speak, & compliments your work.
They’re all lovely, but I especially love the night scene cards.
I love that we can see everything you do, including your water & blotting towel!
I think I like the night scenes. Shows more contrast. The vivid metallic is also a great contrast.
Love them all! I don’t do Christmas cards as a rule but I’m very tempted to do a few of these for very special friends. Thank you I find your art inspiring and your commentary soothing
@
I love them all, but I prefer the ones without the defined edges for the border. You are amazing!
I love the blue and green tree with the red trim
I love the uneven edges with gold trim and the purple trees. Thanks for sharing.
I couldn't possibly pick one for a favourite...they are all so lovely 💕
They are all so wonderful I can’t choose one favorite.
You make every painting look so nice and easy to make. All of them are beautiful 😊
I find the ‘black’ tree, nightvision, the most beatiful! But I too like them all!
Instablaster...
Templates aren't cheating, just less frustrating. I use them all the time for the same reasons you do.😁
The purple pink one is definitely my favourite I love the vibes
beautiful! Really like the ragged edged with the gold borders.
Each and every one is so beautiful and unique. No favorites here
I love the night scene. Peaceful.
My favorite you ask? All of them! Very nice.
I like that every one is different. Everyone gets an original!
Wow, I love all of these cards. My favorites are the night scenes, and I love that dry brush technique. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Like the Payne's gray with mauve,pink background but all pretty.Will teach to my three granddaughters .They live to paint!!!
Love all of those trees. Gorgeous work. I did love the tree with no background. Simple but very elegant. I’m so sorry you spilled water on your beautiful creations. I would have cried for sure.
The last one shown is my favourite & the pinky with grey were really lovely. Thanks for some great inspiration 💝
I love them all, but my favorite is the Payne’s grey tree! They are gorgeous and you make it look so simple.
Oh, the choice is difficult, they are all précieux, I liked the way that each one is unique. I particularly liked one of the last ones shown on the video where the tree is green and blue, but that's only because you asked us to choose. I love them all.
merci beaucoup, Marie!
You are welcome. You are a great inspiration to me.
Ceecee, you`re a rock... If I spilled my water over such beauties I`d get a nervous attack. How can one pick a favorite out of these?? I can`t,... sorry.
I love the one with the night scene and the one without a background as well!
Nice... Checkout #ArtGlimpse
Hi,
I wanted to learn to paint watercolors. Through you I got to know the doddle. I love it.
Thank you very much, so I was able to transform watercolors from ugly to beautiful.
Thank you for the many hours that I can watch you.
I painted the simple trees and sent them as a greeting. I love to do that.
Sending love this christmas
Bye mausss
The second card you made really illustrated your point about using the proper brush. Great info for a beginner!
The last one with the blue and green hue was my favorite
Oh noooooo. I’m so sorry they got ruined. It’s such a whimsical and beautiful artwork. Thank you for sharing it!
Oh wow these are all just so adorable and beautiful! I love everything about them. No way I can pick a favorite! I really do love the way you did that gradation on the pinkish sky tho, its just amazing. Thank you Ceecee, you have really inspired me!!! 😍
What a beautiful attitude after the water jar spillage. Bless you
Hard to choose the best. They are very nice. I do like traditional colors for Christmas.
These are lovely. My favourite is the first green tree. I shall definitely have a go at this dry brushing technique. It looks fun 😊
These are darling!!!! My heart died a little bit when you said you spilled your water jar on them.
Me too 😭. Such a good attitude about it.
They are all so beautiful,but my favourite is the green one ☝🏼 💞
Really hard to decide a favourite, but I think I like the green tree with the turquoise background just a little better.
So beautiful! I love the green and turquoise night time one you showed us in the video, and I also adore the torn-edge paper ones, especially the blue-green tree with a red background on the cream card.😊
My favorites are "all of them" 😍 Thank you!
I loved the very last card you shared with us. It looked to me like a little baby tree stretching to be like the "grown up" trees all around his card!
Just magical. All very pretty, but the backgrounds just add a bit of depth...and who doesn't like stars to guide the way. 😊🌲🌳🌲🌳
Can’t possibly pick a favorite the are all beautiful
Once you put a wash down always best to leave it alone, no matter what the temptations are. You do have a nice technique but that helps. Lovely cards!
I like them all but the ones without background are ny fav because the tree stands out more.
These came out gorgeous!
I did see somewhere that it's a common misconception/habit after prewetting the paper, to get more water on your brush before getting paint. If your paper is already wet (either from prewetting or already having wet layers), try to just get a little little paint on the brush and apply it without additional water. See which technique is a preference for various situations. It's a hard habit to break, but I have noticed it cuts down on getting water logged paper or just getting colors watered down, etc
thank you for the tip, Diane! i'm still experimenting, every day. and that's the fun part :-)
Why would anyone thumb this down . It's absolutely stunning ❤️
I absolutely agree! My gosh, these cards ARE stunning. Such talent and artistry. 💖
The likes far out number…
Has to be a “misclick”!,,
I don’t think using a template is ‘cheating’. The cards are beautiful.
I like the two you did on camera best 👍🏼
These were fun MY favorite is the one with the red border behind it on the card, Love it!
Wow, they’re all really beautiful. I love watching you! You make it seem so easy.
My favorite is the green tree we watched you make. It is gorgeous
So hard to choose a favorite. They are all so beautiful. I am drawn to those with the torn edges because of their handmade look. But I'm sure receiving anyone of them would bring joy to the recipient .
.
Thank you so much for sharing ,I have made this card for my granddaughter to put her christmas money in, she has cerebral palsy and such a special girl x
Great job as always and the music and your voice are so relaxing! I love your work! So sorry about the water accident, but at least you have on video. XO
thank you, Cheri! i was able to recover some of them, trim them a bit and glue them unto other card bases. all is not lost!
I love them all and can’t select a favorite. I can’t wait to try this. Thank you so much!
My favourite ones are the torn edge touched with gold but I love the blue trees.
I love the simple trees on the highly textured paper with torn edges. But almost ALL of you works are on my favorites list.
Perfectly lovely !!! They're all my favorite lol the red border is one that I'll be making. I love that there are tiny details in the ornaments/ stars 🤗 they're understated and just beautiful. Thank you for your videos!! and I'm so sorry your water jar spilled 😕we all live and learn eh ? Taught me to remember/ think about water placement !
Oh my goodness,I love them all,but in particular the ones you showed at the end with the plainer background and shadowing under the tree.All that then you knocked over the water jar! NOooooooo X
Rhey are all beautiful. Having slight variations keeps it interesring.
LOVE red border w/gold frame.
I'm a new subscriber and so happy I found your channel, these are beautiful and I really love how you made the trees! The metallic paints are gorgeous.
thanks and welcome to the channel!
Being that you asked, my favourite is the one you wrote "Merry Christmas" on.
Oh they are all so exquisite!!!! SPILLING WATER!!!! AHHHHH!!!❤️
I loved them both but my favourite is the dark tree. Many thanks
Love watching, and now you have this beginner thinking maybe I could do these too! Pick a favorite, how do you do that? I loved the first two but you know when you showed the cards with the backgrounds that you hadn’t taped off, just freeformed, I liked those better. And the one with no background just the shading under the tree and the line art border. Well, that was a winner too, so my favorite, hmm I think it numbers ten ir so 🥰🥰. So sorry about the water spill. Sounds really normal for my crafty table. Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring. Patti
I especially like the last ones you showed with the wavey background paper & irregular edges. What’s the correct name of this paper? Thanks so kindly CeeCee! 🙋🏻
thanks, Cathy. the ones with the torn edges are from handmade paper i brought from a local shop, La Papeterie St-Armand. they don't have an online store unfortunately.
The irregular edge is called a “deckle edge” so try searching for that. I agree, it’s so pretty!
Amy Schemidt - thanks Amy
I love the night scenes. I wouldn’t have thought about using a pink sky. I really like the deckle edge ones.
I love the ones before all the decorations, minimalistic and poetic. Especially the dark one with rose gold dots 😍.
It’s so frustrating to get done and then have a mishap! They are beautiful, my favorite is the tree with blue sky because I’m partial to those colors. 😍
Love the night scene….can almost smell the cold frosty air mixed in with pine smells…..they are all lovely, but yes…night scene with stars and moon is typical Christmas night to me. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙋♀️💐
I like the Paynes grey one best. But they are all gorgeous
I especially like the darker tree. Thanks so much for your videos.
Loved the little dark tree on the left.
Loved the very last one you showed!
Love watching you work. I like the music you chose too, not irritating or too loud, but relaxing. Tfs!
Such clever designs! Can't choose just one; but prefer the pink/lavender background w/blue trees and irregular
outlines. Also find the last one one with white background/red & gold outline to be my favorite.. Love your work!!
Both are very pretty. Even with the white on the darker tree.
These are the prettiest cards I have
ever seen!!!
I love the night scenes! 😊
I like the last one light blue but they are all nice!
I like those without borders. They were awesome
I love the happy holidays one and the one without the background x
Thanks for sharing
Love from Scotland
I love them all.
How can you not love them all? I do and my favorite is the very last one you showed at the end, and the green tree in the video is my second choice.
Love the night scenes! But all of them are beautiful!
But all of them are so lovely!
All are beautiful but my favorites are the ragged edges ones
I like the card with Seasons greetings the most but they are all great
My fave is the tree alone with the red n cream mat & layering backgrounds. Very simple and effective cards, thanks for sharing.
Ooooooh edges in ..... GOLD ! Love this too !
I especially love the night scene on handmade paper...beautiful! But they are all beautiful.
I am so glad I found this video! Love the paintings, very relaxing video and you made me laugh! You reminded me of myself especially the spilling! The amount of times I have spoiled something at the end! I also don’t like perfect and my art is more relaxed, can’t think of the word but can’t do straight lines! Thanks - Louise and Emily ❤
I loved all but i loved more the two you made in the video. Though all are amazing.
The cards are beautiful. The evening scenes are my two favorites. The lighter green tree and turquoise background is my favorite.
The last one you showed in video. The light green ... very cute
They all have a personality so it hard to pick a fav. However ;-) I pick the one at 21.35. It has a delicacy or innocence. Love and inspiring.
I really like the ragged edge cards and really.like the red dots on the trees. Everything needs a bit of sparkle!❄️
They are all beautiful, but my top favorite is the one on the red card with the gold trim on the edges. The tree itself is a bit pastel, but that's what I loved most about it. It has a sence innocence and simplicity.
It took my breath away and warmed my heart.
The one with the green tree and white background is amazing. You are so talanted.
This is such a perfect set up! I can see exactly what you are doing, so very helpful thank you. I have missed your tutorials, I hope will continue to do some more. Great to see you come back last week.
All the carda are trulli amazing! I prefer the night cards
