Love the template. I think I had one a few years ago when my friend and I made 80 pinwheel Christmas cards. Cards are great! Guess I'll head to the craftroom! You have inspired me!

I'll be going on your journey with you and learning along the way. I love you cat paint brush holder to cute.

These are great cards to mass make and they are elegant and classic as well. TFS!❤

This was so fun to watch!! Looking forward to more info! ❤❤❤❤

Thank you! This will be fun!

I really like these!! Simple and easy!

I believe I can try this, you are a gem 💎

I LOVE THESE!!!!...My first time watching. Thank you

Thank you for sharing your beginning watercoloring journey, glad you have your mothers's brushes to give you joy and memories as you make your journey.

Hey there Julia, you can imagine my delight when I found this video this morning. I am going to enjoy watching as you discover the joys of watercolour painting, and I am looking forward to YOUR journey. It is extremely helpful watching videos on water colouring, and there is a plethora of videos on YT at different levels of painting skills to guide you. I must say my favourite colours are sap green and permanent rose... they are gorgeous and are my favourites when I paint florals. You know how much I love the colour pink. 🩷 If I may make a suggestion, please... apply a good squirt of each colour onto your paint palette and allow it to dry completely before you use it. I find that if you use paint straight from the tube you are more likely to use more paint. Once the paints are dry spritz them with plenty of water, and then allow the brush to soak up all that gorgeous pigment. Julia, do you have any of your mother's artwork? It must be very special for you to use her brushes, and in a way by using them, a part of her is with you. 🩷 Enjoy the process, but more importantly... have fun! God's blessings, love and hugs. 🥰🎨🌺🩷

You can get No line ink from Honey Bee stamps. It let's you watercolor your stamps and it looks like you painted the whole thing!

Just the right pace. Thank you so much for allowing us to join you on your journey. I’ve always wanted to learn watercolor, Ya! Im so excited.❤. I love the cats and will be getting some to match my babies.

Great stress-free, non-overwhelming beginning video! Thanks for sharing this with us! I am looking forward to the next one.

Hi Susie! Thank you so much for starting this journey. I've been curious using watercolor paints and think I can become hooked! Can't wait for your next lesson. I'm ordering everything today!

Thank you! I do collages, decoupage and card making too and I have so many scraps tossed in boxes. When I look at them I could cry! I will never be as neat and organised as you but I can make a start.

Hey julia, im so excited for you. Your mamas brushes will im sure make a world of difference in your journey. Hopefully see you soon. You take care of you. ❤

I have yet to try watercolors, so im looking forward to following your journey Julia.

I love this! Anyone would be thrilled to get a gorgeous home made card, thanks for the idea Susie!

What a beautiful cards! I tried one out myself and that went so good I decided to make my X-mascards for this year in your way. Thank you for sharing and for the inspiration! Greetings out of the Netherlands. 🌷 Marjan

Nice card. ❤

I love all the cards…they are fun and whimsical. ❤ Again, so excited for you to settle into your new home and studio. Prayers for an easy and safe transition.

I was sceptical to begin with, doing the stamping first, but it turned out beautiful.

I bought the glue upon your suggestion and I love it. It gives me more time to place my elements and does not warp the paper. It is my new favorite. For sure, will be there on Wednesday! 😊

Congratulations on the new house!! So happy to hear that this is all coming together finally!! Your cards were all beautiful! It’s hard to pick a favorite but I do really like the one from today! On the one that you said was probably going into the bin, could you take a blending marker or a color lifter marker to the green swipes (I’m guessing that’s the part you didn’t like)? I don’t know what kind of markers you used but if they are alcohol markers you could try to lighten the green with either a blender or color lifter or maybe even a atop with a little alcohol on it - very little alcohol. You could also try going over them with a lighter green as sometimes lighter colors will lighten up darker colors if they are alcohol based.

Such BEAUTIFUL cards!!! CONGRATS on finding a new home!!! Looking forward to seeing your new studio!!! Have a great week!!!

Julia you always come up with some great background ideas. It looks like extreme closeup of ,Christmas lights looking through a window that has rain coming down outside.

When you pulled off that tape, the card just popped and came to life. I love it. Thank you for sharing your technique.

I love all the cards! Thank you for sharing ❤

G'day Julia, I have kept you in my prayers these past months as you transition into your hopefully forever home. 🩷 I absolutely love these cards, and your colour choice is stunning. You are right in adding some gold splatters as it would lift the cards to the next level. I was surprised at how the brown ink blended in the corners only made such a difference, but subtly. I just love what you come up with, and as I no doubt have said before you are a very talented lady. I am looking forward to 'Susie's Watercolour Wednesday' tutorials, and hopefully you will inspire me to return to my watercolour paints again. I stopped cardmaking and painting over winter and snuggled under a rug reading books. As it is now getting warmer (Spring here in Australia) that I no longer have a valid excuse to stay out of my craft studio. I am looking forward to painting along with you. 🎨 Take care my friend. God's blessings, love and hugs. 🥰🌷🩷🎨

Happy to hear you will be closing on your new home, can't wait to see it and your new studio when it is done. All your cards are beautiful, I can't choose a favorite, they are all great cards. I enjoyed watching you make todays card. Congrats to you and Jon on the new house!!

Congratulations on your new house! How exciting! Love the card you made today.

I love these! So colorful! Looking forward to the Wednesday video!

Gorgeous….I love these

Hi Julia. Wow, first let me say congrats on your new home. I'm so happy and excited for you. What great cards. My favourite one is the one you made tonight. The colours just seemed right. Thanks so much. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊

Those cards turned out beautifully! So excited that you will have a new studio and all your supplies soon!

I just love this card. My favorite Christmas colors! And I have been using the PVA glue you recommended and it is great. I finally found one of the tiny bottles, it was all glogged and the glue was dried up and it took some elbow grease and a tiny little wire, but it is working perfectly. Can't wait to see your new house!

Beautiful cards! Congrats! Can’t wait to see the new house!

Great looking cards & technique, thanks Julia Looking forward in seeing your new home, enjoy it when you settle in.

The cards you made are so pretty and colorful. Congratulations on your new home. 🤗

I love all the cards. They are so beautiful, and the person who receives the cards are going to be very happy to get them. 🤗

They are a fantastic idea. Thank you.

I always enjoy your videos. I decorate gift bags with old Christmas cards as well as calendar pages. The sample pictures on the back make good coordinating tags. Congrats on the sale of your farm. - jo shu

I am so happy I saw your video. Thank you for sharing how to rehydrate our ink pads. I thought about spraying my ink pads with water, but thought doing that would not be good to do. Thank you so very much.🤗

Wow how amazing does it look. Thank you for sharing it does look like fun xx

CONGRATS on selling the farm!!! FUN video!!! LOVE everything - the gift bag, coordinating tag and packaging!!! CLEVER!!! Have a GREAT week!!!
