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. 🖌️🎨
Your words say you don’t care how it turns out but it always turns out wonderful!!!
I’m going to try these.
Ellen I did your cards you did an when I went to my art class they couldn’t believe I’d done them so thank you lv Ann uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️❤️👋👋👋👋👋
Love these! I think the idea of having a family get together to do them is brilliant!
Love these abstract cards! The holidays are stressful enough without trying to make super fiddly “perfect” cards.
Abstracts....you teach me how to do abstracts that are even holiday oriented! Please continue all abstracts!
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!
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.
Yes, yes yes, more abstract watercolour!😊
Just love the joy card, it has the impression of a 'world' with joy written across it, very apt for the Christmas message. Thanks so much, will definitely be trying these two cards. X
Hey Janice,
I was thinking the same thing! It reminds me of the Christmas song, Joy to the World! 😃
This is super fun. My daughter and I are going to make some x mas cards together and I'll add this to our ideas it's super fun and easy. Have a great day
I was not a fan of abstract until I saw these cards….wow! Thanks I
I’ll be painting some in the future. You made me Joyful. lol! ❤❤❤
I love your style and encouragement to beginners. I have dove in to watercolor paintings and love it❤. Thank you. And I love the abstract pieces.
Hi Ellen love your channel thank you lv Ann uk 👋👋👋🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love your abstracts and enjoy attempting them with my own spin. It is very therapeutic as you say. Love your philosophy of it it's not fun you need to change directon. Thank you for sharing.
Ohh...I love this Ellen! 💛
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.
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!!
Delightful!
LOVE LOVE LOVE these!!!!!
Thank you for the inspiration! Stumped on what to paint for this holiday - tired of the usual. AND I love painting abstracts lately, so I am excited to get going on some new style cards.
Thanks Ellen! Always expanding my horizons!
Love it... the Joy one looks like the earth in an etheral effect. If that makes sense..
Very inspiring as always. Thank you for encouraging everyone especially the beginners
Thanks for watching!
Fun, fun, fun!
I love these!! Thank you for sharing this lovely process. I can't wait to try it!
Thanks Ellen-I really enjoyed this tutorial.
Love to do abstracts and doodling as well.
I love these cards, Ellen! Thank you - I’d be super interested in any other abstract watercolor tutorials you might do in the future.
Love the abstract cards
I never do abstract art but I did these just for fun. I have a couple of friends who are ambivalent on Christmas itself so these are perfect greetings to send to them. Thanks!
Love Love Love these cards ♥
More fun! I admire the depth of creativity you have as well as how far it goes! Even using this as a Thanksgiving activity. GREAT IDEA :-))
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.
like the abstract - ness
Ellen, I really loved the JOY one before you added the swirlies with gold and blue bc it looked just like Earth and looked so cool with the big JOY on it. A perfect unifying message for us all!
I am really loving all the Christmas themed tutorials that you have been doing recently as well as going back to some of the older ones. But this really rocks my world. I just love it because it is so free and easy and there are no wrongs or rights about it. Can't wait to give it a try. Thank you so much for all the content Ellen from a big fan in Ireland 💕💕☘☘
Yes! Yay! Love this. Video!
You are genius!
Thank you Ellen , I like how this turned out and it will make great holiday cards 🌲😊
Just what I want
These look like a lot of fun. Thanks for the ideas 🌞🌞🌞
Love them 👍❤️

Love these, Ellen!

I love all your work Ellen x thank you
Love this!
I love abstract cards! I love these techniques and need to try it even if I finished all of my Christmas cards.
Another wonderful video Ellen! Can’t tell you the number of times you’ve inspired me when I’ve been in a rut. The perfect video to watch in the midst of a huge snowstorm, too! Thank you!
Beautiful holiday cards! 🎇🎄🌟
Thanks so much!
Both unusual and lovely cards Ellen, Thank you for sharing with us xx
Really cool!!
Easy is my best friend! Thanks Ellen!
Love those cards, good ideas.
Ellen...Your abstract cards are beautiful. I love both, especially the one with the gold stars. This creation reminds me of a winter starlight night. Thank you for your inspiration!😘💙⭐️
I had no audio. Many thanks to the individual who suggested turning phone off, wait, and restart....it worked🎨🧡
Now I'm enjoying the video!!!
Really like these holiday abstract cards. Can hardly wait to try one or two🎉
Wonderful to Have Breakfast with you! I really learned about making abstract and easy(?) Christmas or holiday cards! You always create ease in my artsy mind!Have a wonderful Holiday! 🙏🙋♀️Karen
Loved this approach. I’d love to see more. I could hear fine, not sure what problem others were having.
Very pretty and looks stress free to do!!
Love it Ellen 💕 and I can hear you! Lol I'm going to try this tonight 👍

I love abstracts
Love the abstract Christmas cards! Very inspiring!

I couldn’t find the metallic water color paints on you’d shop?
Amazing cards Ellen, can't wait to try out yet more of your ideas, thank you 😊
Fun cards, love watching you paint! Audio is good now.
Thanks so much
I really enjoyed this joy! I have never tried abstract before so this was very fun & enlightening! Thank you Ellen!
Love it! I'm inspired by the abstract ideas!
I love this idea! I was stressing out about making cards this year and this helped me to refocus on easy! Thank you!
Been following several of your tutorials this holiday week. Thanks for all the fun ideas!
😊Loved your abstract cards, that’s a great idea for Thanksgiving activity.
Love this so much! Thank you!
I love these. Always looking for new holiday ideas. Thanks, Ellen.
Love your tutorials and the abstract cards, thanks Ellen!
Love the movement marks! It’s fun! I truly dislike my lettering, but there are lots of templates and ideas to use for samples.
Another great tutorial, Ellen. Thank you!
It occurred to me that you could do a plaid pattern on the word after you take off the masking fluid.
This looks like fun!
Thank you for the inspiration!
très beau résultat!
Yes! I want something different.
Hi Ellen, I can hear you! 👂
Love these! So much fun to paint along!
😁🎯 Love it.
Very nice! ❤
I love these! As a beginner this might be something I can do that looks good enough to give to someone. I love reindeer, is there a simple way a beginner can paint them?
amazing😍❤️
Thank you, it is a fun project. I heard you inMinnesota😊
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.
AUDIO IS THERE- REBOOT YOUR CZcams ITS THERE ALWAYS HAS BEEN!
Please show the fun pallette, with manufacture and cost. Thank you
Beautiful! What is the name of that wonderful metallic water color set with all the golds? I didn't catch it. I have a set of Arteza metallic water colors, but they are not as vivid. I love both the abstract and the simple design cards.
I like these cards ,Presse morgen inspiring.Vielen Dank.Its rallye nicht.
Hi everyone. I've recently had 3 occasions where I had no audio watching CZcams videos. Sometimes, turning your device off and on resolves the problem. I use Firestick and needed to restart my firestick.
its there!
Hi, I live in the Southern Hemisphere. There are no snow flakes and Christmas lunch is a BBQ or a picnic on the beach. Temperature can be over 40 degrees. I don't want to send friends in either hemisphere snow scenes. Can you do some summer Christmas cards? L
Have you ever used canvas paper for arcylic or watercolor and how do you use canvas paper? Why do people want to paint on canvas paper?..mikelle art mom👩🎨✍🎨
Just starting out and having a hard time. Thinking it’s because I have the cake type paint instead of tubes. Practice? What’s that . . .
What is the name of the tool you used to remove the masking fluid? These will be my Cards this year! ❤️
