    It’s not even Christmas, and I am not nearly done with summer. But I happened across this CZcams video and I just had to comment. What a talent you are …. you take nothing and make it something wonderful! I love these cards and you just might’ve put me in the Christmas spirit even though it’s 90° here in North Carolina, thank you Ellen for all of your contributions to the art world and for the amateur artists that enjoy you so much.

  • @suew4609
    @suew4609 Před rokem +1

    Thank you, Ellen, these are great! I’m glad to hear someone else that says “poin-set-ta” in stead of ‘“poin-set-ti-ah”! When I grew up we said it like you, then the last 10 years or so they started saying it the other way. It may be right, but I still like it the other way😁

    @theresaanderson4081 Před rokem +4

    It's so much fun all the clever little things that you come up with. I always paint some sort of Christmas cards, but this year, my brother died 17 days ago, and it's been hard thinking of something that even though it would have been normal, wasn't overwhelming. I didn't want to bring everyone else down too. This is the perfect thing. Thank you so much!!!

    • @suew4609

    Wow, this was so amazing and inspiring. You really get my imagination going and I love the idea of masking out the triangle for the tree. I’m just a beginner - you tell me a bit more about the aerosol spray you had at the beginning? Is this to stop the watercolour painting from being damaged? Thank you ❤
