I know this is 3 years later but I thoroughly enjoyed watching you create. The simplicity is just enough to make these cards stunning. This a feel-good video so thank you for sharing your wonderful art.
Those are great, even 4 yrs later! Love them!
Minimalism…simplistic, fresh…..love it!
Ms Ceecee, these are JUST DARLING!!! YOU ARE THE MASTER!!!😊
The old saying ‘less is more’ certainly comes in to play here. The simple look to these pieces of art is what makes them elegant.
Beautiful very nice....
These are both cards anyone would be happy to receive. Lovely!

Learning to do better watercolor has been my covid-19 therapy. I really love your videos, the music, the simple approach, the ideas-so meditative at a couple levels. My family have been very complimentary. I’m making cards for the holiday, so Many Thanks for making these videos.
Enjoyed your late night cards
I like how you finished off your cards. Simply beautiful.
Really awesome! Beautiful cards and so very peaceful. Thanks for Sharing!
Love these two cards
I’ve made this comment before and I’ll make it again- YOU are A TRUE inspiration… I am getting out my package of card stock and my watercolors. Right.Now. Thank you for all you share CeeCee. 💖💫
awh, you are so sweet! thank you and have fun with the cads!!!
These are super cute!
Truly lovely, thank you. I will be attempting these... 😊 can I say, I love that you don’t feel the need to constantly chatter, letting your work speak for you. 💕
Love these! The gold embellishment really makes it festive!
The music is equally relaxing as the tutorial. ☺️
So cute and easy enough that a beginner can achieve success.
Such cute cards. I enjoyed your ideas and it's true.. watercolor paper can be expensive
Love Love Love these!! I am so inspired by you, Catherine.
Lovely CeeCee! Simple and elegant!
Very pretty. I just love them. Thanks for sharing.

❤ LOVE these Christmas cards!

Greatings from Germany 🍁
thank you and have a joyful day!
Thank you for posting this video. I am a sewist, not a painter, and want to make my own Christmas cards. This is perfect!
After watching a few of the water color sites, it seems hand control is a big part of making a picture look professional and not wonky. I do really like your bideos.
Lovely easy cards...
I totally agree!
I love watching you paint. It relaxes me and inspires me to someday try to paint. I am a card maker but I have always said that I do not have any artistic talent. Your videos inspire me enough to think that maybe I do have some. Lol thank you
Your cards are amazing.I think I can do that.Very simple and elegant.You could paint a set and give them as gifts.
that is a fantastic idea. thank you, Toni!
Your color choices are fabulous.
So satisfying to watch.
Adorable! That's a great idea to save the wc paper for the card fronts only and use plain cardstock for the rest of the card. Less wasteful.
Enjoy u sleep. Just love these little doodles. Way to go !!!!!!!
Love these cards
So pretty
Always looking for jumping off ideas. As a beginning watercolorist, these I think I can manage. Thanks
I think I may be able to do these! So cute. TFS
Когда увидела в первый раз всё сразу понравилось, особенно цвета, атмосфера. Все понятно ,обязательно сделаю с детьми.
Thank you so, so, so much for the closeups for the brush strokes! Great tutorial
Glad you said that. I was always thinking that why would one use up a whole watercolor paper for a card instead of how you did it on a card stock .I love your art work.
Loved these Christmas cards,,,,xxx ❄️🌲❄️🎄❄️
I learn so much from your lovely tutorials. Thankyou
Once Again : simple and Beautiful !!

Sencillo y precioso. Gracias!
I Love your tutorials
Great idea and great job!
Thanks for this!! I started (late as usual since I was in the hospital for stomach issues for a week; then all last week, dealing with “the virus part 2” 🙄😖). Feeling better, started on cards last night.
I decided to stick with Derwent inktense and other permanent inks or watercolors for base shapes…mainly because when I kept attempting my vision of blowing snow; the “wind” was taking everything underneath with it
I love the beautiful simplicity of these ~~ elegantly cute ;-) I have used watercolor paper as the base on my Christmas cards in the past, but it doubles the postage required when I need to mail them. Cee Cee, I love that you layer the watercolor paper on top of cardstock :-) Thanks for the great tip!! Christmas blessings ~~~
Hahahahaha! Never mind. I found it by watching the Unboxing the Silver Play button! I’ll make my Pocket Doodler and prepare it for December 1st. Thank you so much for all you do :-D. Congratulations for your Silver Play Button! You deserve it!
Love these CeeCee - they are great for when confidence or mojo is running low ! Just what I needed !
Thanks for your fabulous ideas. Next christmas can come ....
Thank you for sharing your technique. Beautiful!

So simple, so pretty!
So elegant CeeCee.
Gorgeous, simple - just what I need to make a lot of cards for friends and relatives. Really helpful - Thank you.
Love these so elegant and doable! Thank you
I love them, but I have to say I envy your very steady hand.
Wow! Love these simple, yet beautiful cards. Thank you for sharing... 🥰
They're so gorgeous...I also like the colour of your card base. Beautiful, thank you Ceecee! 🌲
Ooh perfect time to find u.....I think these cards are simply beautiful. I've subscribed 👍
You're a life saver Ceecee in times like these & I'm so grateful for your videos, art & relaxing creativity! Plus your honest narrative..just so down to earth.. luv from the wet west coast 🇨🇦
The cards are super cute!
Being a cardmaker way longer than being into watercolor, I like to layer my cards, although I use cheaper watercolor paper. Layering is a great way to upgrade a plain card or to frame your artwork.
Matching the cardstock with the used colors for the pots would be a nice idea.
Another way to add to your card is a little embellishment, I imagine some gold thread around the spine of the card would be a nice combo with the gold accents.
My new years resolution is getting some Kremer paints by the way. Although I am from Germany there are not easy to find, the only way is to order directly from them.
Seasons greetings!
So lovely ! I love details ! I want to try it quickly ! Thanks for this video and felicitations for the golden button !!!
These are adorable! This year for a change I am not spending all day on two cards... All thanks to you CeeCee! I think mounting them adds so much. 💕💖🌏
thank you, Tara. and yes, i agree that mounting them on cardstock gives the image a boost. have a beautiful and creative day!
Absolutely beautiful. I enjoy watching you. It’s my time to relax and forget about the world stresses. Thank you for
sharing your talent and skills.
This was very relaxing to watch you create simple very artistic, specially cards for folks that well--I am sure love them
This is so theraputic.
Lovely!
Love these cards!!! I will give it a try!!! Night, night CeeCee!!!
