    These cards are fabulous. I love the simple technique but I can see how smudging that color out into the white space can take some practice, on my part. Can't wait to try this. Thank you for this video.

    These are really nice. Such a nice mix of loose watercolor and a few crisp edges. That, for me, seems to be the key. Thank You!

    I love painting cards because of the size I think. Not as intimidating as tackling a big project. These are beautiful, fun technique and awesome effect. I'm partial to the colors in the second painting. That will be my next card. Thank you, Ellen.

    The results are beautiful 😍 but as a beginner I am watching this with curled toes, don't know if that is an expression in your country 😂 I am learning so much from you, thank you very much 🙏

    Beautiful. How do you deckle an edge? I bought a metal tool from Amazon but it seems too sharp.

    • @ellencrimitrent
      @ellencrimitrent  Місяць тому

      Fold it and rip it

    • @Nora-jt9zy
      @Nora-jt9zy Місяць тому

      100% cotton paper is kind on you when it comes to ripping, but I usually use a bone creaser to make the creases nice and crisp on both sides before ripping, and then the cotton paper will dutifully tear along the crease every time. 😊

    Ellen your paints in your pallet do you leave it out when you are not using them? I am just learning and have so much to learn. Thanks. Your tutorials are very helpful.

    • @Sarah-gg6rm
      @Sarah-gg6rm Місяць тому

      I leave mine out until they're completely dry, it's quite damp where I live and if I put them away damp they can go mouldy. They re-wet easily, if you find yours aren't usable quickly when you wet them again, then spray them with a little water a few minutes before you start.
