Hi Beth, Im so glad it was inspiring for you, I make several cards each year therefore I try to find somewhat simple paintings I can repeat a few times. Happy paitning!
I bought the decodo brush set and been using them for 4 months now and I noticed that the ends of the hairs on some of the brushes are separating?? I was disappointed 😞. I loved those brushes so I guess I'll have to buy another brand and try them out. I think 🤔 I'm hard on brushes because my Princeton brushes the hairs fray on those to after while??? At least I do get a year on the Princeton though. I take care of them I just don't understand?? I lay them flat to dry, don't squish them in the water and try not to in picking paint up but sometimes that's a little hard when your painting something. Lololol 😅. Thank you 😊 for the really nice card idea. FLORIDA
Yes, these inexpensive brushes will do that a little sooner than the Princeton, although, as it sounds like you already know, make sure you’re not loading your brush by the tip, and when you’re done, rinsing them really well, and squeezing them between your fingers into a point, and then letting them dry, that will help Preserve that beautiful little tip! Princeton aren’t too expensive and I think a great next level for you happy painting friend🖌️🌸🎨

Pro tip… use washi tape to hold down the card so it doesn’t keep opening. Just a small piece on the corners.
