    Hi Sandy. I would put the sentiments inside the card.
    I am so happy you attached a video to your blog post. It is relaxing to watch you color. I love that you made the same card with 3 different mediums. These cards would make a beautiful gift set. The bow finishes the cards perfectly.
    I love Great Pyrenees. They are so playful and full of love. Their hearts are as large as they are. Thank you for all the extra information about picking out supplies. I am new to your blog and channel. I am a first-year crafter and I appreciate the help you offer on what to purchase and encouragement I get from you in your videos.❤

    I love your recommendation for Copics - it was so empowering to know I didn’t need them all. At least while I was learning.
    I also went with your recommendations on watercolor paint and have been thrilled, and slowly built my palette as the years have gone by.
    I wholeheartedly endorse your Jumpstart and 101 classes as a way to get to know if a medium is your jam.

    Wow, @Sandy Allnock, you blow me away each and every time I watch your videos!! It’s amazing how different each coloring medium turns out. I love each of these and learn so very much from your videos. Thank you for teaching us through YT as well as your classes. You rock!!

    I wish I had known this when I first started, Sandy, I have spent a fortune on Prismacolour pencils, inktense pencils and blocks, all the big sets. Umpteen pallets of watercolours, WN Inks and so much paper. All because everyone liked something different. Finally settling on watercolour and I have so many sets, sticks and tubes again because all the teachers I followed on You Tube recommended something different and I didn't know any better.😢

  • @Sandy-yd6ot
    @Sandy-yd6ot Рік тому +1

    Sentiment on the inside. My rationale: It gives people time to appreciate the art and wonder about what the card is for before opening it and getting a second surprise (the greeting).

    Good idea to use the stamped image for medium practice. Can just focus on what works best for you without having to try and draw something at the same time 😀

    I wouldn't be able to choose a favorite from these beautiful cards, but I can easily say 'inside sentiment'. Between the images, background stamping and bows, the card fronts are perfection 💛

    I’m not a newbie (does that make me an oldbie?), but I learn something from every video you post. This time I noted how you layered the colors - I’m not very proficient at getting the color I want. I also really LOVE your finished cards. So elegant layered on top of your patterned paper. I don’t buy patterned paper any more. But make my own? Now you’re talking!The way you constructed the card with the ribbon detail - I must try that.

    The bow! 😍😍😍 What a great idea with punching 2 holes. I've never seen that before. Just bought some Stonehenge. I'm excited to see the results. Are you letting the Gamsol dry before adding another layer of pencil? Colored pencils & watercolor are my favorite. I have markers. I need to use them. Since purchasing them, I've learned to give myself grace when trying new things, & you always inspire me with your ideas.

    I absolutely love my copics and have used them for many years, recently when using it has become very frustrating when getting the image almost colored a big drop of ink blobbes onto my piece I carefully took time to do 😔I keep them lying on there side, and thought opening the opposite end cap during use may help and that hasn’t either. Any suggestions? Anyone reading these please do not be deterred from buying copics, I truly love them they are my favorite coloring tool. Maybe mine are just old, not sure . Asking for advice

    • @SandyAllnock1
      @SandyAllnock1  Рік тому +1

      I wouldn’t think leaving it open while coloring would be any good, it might even weirdly, change the pressure and be causing the problem. You’re probably over filling them if they’re doing this?

    Comment on the front. Is there anything you CAN'T color with? I swear I think you could use berriies, coffee, dirt, grease or anything someone throws at you. I don't mean I want them to throw dirt or anything else literally at you.
