    Ok... I need a calligraphy class after this video... Loved it!!

  • @TheSunshineCrafterKellyFusco

    You can always spray the bag then put your cardstock down onto the bag instead of flipping the bag over to prevent that dripping. Ive done "ink smooshing" before,its alot of fun. Tfs🌞

    Thank you SO much! Your paintings are beautiful and I just love them. I am 13 and you helped me make my first birthday card (It was for my dad, btw). It turned out lovely. I did a few modifacations, but it was still awesome. For example, I used the usual sketch pens because I don't have Crayola markers or anything. Also, I did a bit of tweaking with my watercolours and used black instead of white. But it was just fantastic. Thank you again!

    These are fabuloso, Emma! LOL I LOVE them! I am awful with lettering, but you're a natural with all creative things. Takes me 4 x longer than most. (My PH Martin white is drying up--any suggestions?) Anyway, these are gorgeous and simple. And your new long "Creation Station" table is fantastic! All that work area is enviable! :)

    I love this idea for simple cards quick too. What about Christmas cards . Is there a way to do Red and Green with out the mud? Would it work if you did one color at a time dry well then do the second or would they still mud. Novice at watercolor here! Loving all your videos!

    @melindarivera6598 Před 4 lety

    You may do this still but my idea is instead of flipping the plastic into the paper and the water going everywhere why not flip the paper over onto the plastic initially and then immediate flip it all back over to push it all around? Seems less of a mess. Also, you are too cute. You have a habit of saying "ok?" after each instruction 😊
