Yay!!! ~ from a retired teacher! [Psst ... we feed them too when they come to school with no lunch!] ..... Love your video, thank you from a fellow watercolour lover!
This is a wonderful card drive. I am working with a group and we are currently collecting cards for Dimentia and Alzheimer's patients. Previously we collected for breast cancer awareness and ended up with over 8000 cards. We are close to 3000 this time. It's truly a wonderful to use something you make for pleasure into something that helps other. Thank you for your inspiration.
These are fabulous cards! Thank you for what you said about teachers. I totally agree with you! I have four teachers in my family. They all work so hard in their jobs. What a nice thing your friend recruited you and others to do by making cards for that school! You, Kelly, are a gem!
Very beautiful cards! :) I don't know what happened at that school but I'm all for supporting the teachers, they do a fabulous work! They are going to love these cards! Hugs from Sweden!
Such great cards and a wonderful cause. I love your attitude about teachers and public serpents. They all should be getting more respect from everyone. The more I learn about you Kelly, the more I love you! You are the best.
Love the tutorial as I am learning waterdolor..... and I have to say.. AMEN on the teacher statement!!! Thank goodness for teachers !!!!! Thanks Kelly.. I am learning so much from you !!!!
Use a piece of glad press n seal on the back of your watercolour card , then press it onto a surface. It'll stick flat without having to tape it down. 😊
Love Kelly that you are so real. Showing the wrong way to do things is just as beneficial as showing the right way sometimes, and learn from. it's just great to know our favorite artists we love so much, are not always perfect either--just "real" Thanks!!
Thank you so much for your kind words about teachers! I teach 1st grade in a high poverty school and it was nice to hear after a rough day of haiku writing. I love your cards and you taught me how to use my copics!
I have started taping my watercolor paper to dollar tree clipboards so I can move them around and let them dry. Lol. I have space problems so I got some of those cookie cooking racks that stack. I know, I'm a nut. The curling drives me crazy. I I've all of your ideas!!!
I love these!! You make this look so easy, it makes me want to go down and do some water coloring!! You are very encouraging and a huge motivator :) Thanks for sharing your work with us
I was really confused--in a way that made me want to watch the video, btw--about the "dry watercolor" in the title. Ahhh--wet ON dry watercolor! Makes a lot more sense, since that is what I've always heard it called. Love your wet-on-wet rainbow panel. Kind of makes me think of an icat pattern in a way, with how the colors flowed. Tfs! :)
I know I'm late to this particular party....but when you put your little side comments, I die laughing. You are so funny!!! 3:37 "Oh, apparently I'm gonna suck up some more water."
I would love to see how or if you can water color with the new Distress oxides. Then another question can you put black soot over that that is the regular Distress inks?
Awesome watercoloring and sentiment! Where can I send some cards to help with the card drive for teachers (I agree completely with you about teachers, they ROCK!!!)
Hi Kelly! Love your cards and videos. Is there a link to where we can send some cards? I am a teacher and would love to support fellow teachers in need of encouragement.

As a college professor, I appreciate your sentiments! I agree that teachers (at all levels) are crucial to creating good citizens.

Great 👍 congratulations 😃
Awesome watercoloring and sentiment! Where can I send some cards to help with the card drive for teachers (I agree completely with you about teachers, they ROCK!!!)
I like the wet paper look the best
Hi Kelly! Love your cards and videos. Is there a link to where we can send some cards? I am a teacher and would love to support fellow teachers in need of encouragement.
specifically what kind of tape would you have used? I have the same problems with watercolor. Also will try the Glad wrap mentioned below.
Painters tape or Washi tape both work well. I think Jennifer McGuire uses like medical tape. Anything that isn't too sticky and won't rip your paper.
What kind of service are you painting on there? It looks like a marble countertop? Does Paint wipe off of that pretty easy?
It's a well loved Ranger craft mat and yes it wipes up super easy :)
I have a hard time getting the inks to blend so maybe I need to watercolor on watercolor paper like this instead? Thanks
Using the right paper absolutely makes a difference. On regular cardstock the water absorbs right in with no time for the colors to blend.
Love
❤❤❤❤❤
What kind of tape do you recommend using?
I use an artist's tape but any post it note tape or painters tape will work
💕💕
droplets made the card :)
