[@lornaweber4972]

I can’t pick a favourite. The recipient of any one of those cards would be delighted.

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you Lorna! I am so glad you like them all :)

[@annettefournier9655]

They turned out splendidly. Here's what I've heard about mistakes: if you make a mistake then repeat it. That makes it into a design element! Well done. Thanks Caroline 💜

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you Annette! I love that, make it into a design element :D

[@margiebrown7436]

The truck 🛻 was my favorite. 😊

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you margie! I love the look on those Christmas red trucks :)

[@lucindalandphere860]

YES ! they do have various sized fan brushes .

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you Lucinda! I actually found one yesterday, so am looking forward to using that. It will be a lot easier on a smaller image like these cards :)

[@catherinewilliams3850]

Well done Caroline, the snowy tree is my favourite followed by the red truck and the Berry Christmas.

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you Catherine :) Nice choices :)

[@lucindalandphere860]

That first tree looks professionally done ! I've only seen the one so far but i had to let you know that ! Back to your video ! 😉

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you Lucinda! I love painting trees, such fun and quite forgiving if you make a little mistake :)

[@francesflynn3644]

Lovely, a thumbs up for every card, they're brilliant 😊

[@myhomeonthehillside]

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you Penny :)

[@lindamartinez2896]

Very nice, especially the tree.

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you Linda!

[@countesscable]

It’s lovely to see you working with different ideas. Those plain cards can be bought very cheaply in the £ shops and would be great for kids to make.

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you ! Yes, making cards is a lovely family project that everyone can get involved it :)

[@elizabethrobison-berlie9736]

The truck bringing home the tree is my favorite one. Well done, Caroline. Thank you for sharing your art.

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you Elizabeth! I love all versions of that red truck. So festive :)

I dont paint, but you have inspired me to try this tree thanks for your inspiration.

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you Sandra! Oh yes, give it a try. I reckon you will do a great job :D

[@carolmilburn2324]

Love the cards, actually like the tree one.

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you Carol!

[@wendyhier6943]

Loved ALL of them Caroline...it was very relaxing to watch you paint ☺️ thanks for sharing x

[@phylliswilliamstn]

This was lots of fun. 😊 I loved each card; the tree card with the moon and snow reminds me of the Christmas tree lot in "Charlie Brown Christmas," so it is my favorite. It just needs a line of electric lights above the trees. 😊 The berry card reminds me of the berry branches in the Edith Holden book.

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you Phyllis! Ah yes! It does have a Charlie Brown look to it :) Yes, electric lights would have really made it a CB card :D

[@christhompson4270]

I liked all of them, great ideas though. Take care and thank you for sharing 🙏👍❤️

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you Chris!

[@suesmith9202]

I love the one with the truck. But their all so good. I've tried to paint before and just could not get it right, the colours I mean. But you know, I think I'll give it a go. Their all Absolutely gorgeous Caroline, . Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you Sue! Oh yes, do give it another try. I bet you will be able to make beautiful cards that your friends and family will love :D

[@Rose-jz6ix]

I liked your last one & first one best, although I would be chuffed with any of them. Anything handmade means more to me. 🇦🇺🎶💖

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you Rose! I agree, hand made is so much more special than shop bought :)

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you Anne! I am very impatient, so I am always on the lookout for things to speed things up :)

[@Simplycharlotte-s]

Great to see you painting again, it was your artwork videos that inspired me to start exploring watercolour and other mediums through those difficult covid times. Love the cards especially the car😀

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you Charotte! Ah yes, Covid days, when all there was to do was art lol It was great as we had so much time to play with our supplies :) When my hand improves, I am hoping to do more with my drawing and painting again :)

[@lucindalandphere860]

I'm 3 cards in & loving it ! I think you should have them printed & sell them on etsy w/ envelopes.

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you Lucinda! I am so glad you like them :) I enjoyed painting them.

[@13lilfrogslvr]

If you start your tree with dark green and layer lighter, it'll be easier :)

Thank you so much Bobbi! Yes, silly me. My brain switched back in to watercolour painting lol Thank you so much for reminding me :D

Beautiful cards. My favorite is the red truck with the tree. Enjoyed watching. Hello from southern California. 🍁🍂🌞🇺🇸

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you Rosemarie! I love seeing anything with that famous red truck on. So cheerful :)

[@karenstewart8818]

I have to work today, but I'm going to give this a go when I get home. I did like your wonky nighttime snow/Christmas tree scene best, actually. They were all lovely, but that one spoke to me...probably because it's what mine will look like. I want to paint well, but can't! I did try the hearts from last week and I'm really chuffed with how they turned out. I plan on making a few more.

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you Karen :) I hope you enjoy painting some cards. Let me know how you get on :) Glad you tried out the hearts. They are so easy but so effective! One of my favourite decorations to make, as you can use anything you have to hand :)

[@KathyTincler]

They are all awesome! Thank you.

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you Kathy!

I was worried about you getting the paint on your sweater sleeves every time you reached to refresh the paintbrush but the cards are lovely none the less. Thank you for sharing. 🥀

I have just found your channel and I really love your honesty and humour 😊. I am not an artist but do love to do dotting art and have the same mandala tools. Your designs are simple yet effective and I’ll give them a try! You are right, it’s not always about the end result but rather whether you enjoyed the process of getting there. Thank you.

[@lfurches]

Hey, Caroline. Once again I am behind in watching videos. I just love the red truck card, I absolutely love making cards when I take the time. I used to belong to a card-making club called Stampin Up! I tried selling the cards I made but had no luck. So I was on to my next idea to make money. These days I just craft for fun. I am a terrible salesperson. All your cards are great. You did a better job of those trees than I probably would have. Well I had better stop chatting and watch the next video .

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you Laura :) I've heard of Stampin up! I'm like you , terrible at sales too lol You are a great scrapper though and that is just as good, just different :D

[@alisonbell3475]

Loved your ideas. What make of paint do you choose? 😍🎨

[@myhomeonthehillside]

Thank you Alison! I like Pebeo acrylics. They have a lovely assortment of colours, including a glow in the dark paint, plus opaque really is opaque, so less coats needed, unlike cheaper brands :)

[@rosierichardson]

I’ve just found you, lovely video 😊thanks so much for sharing 🩷
