Easy watercolor painting for cards using Distress Inks!

[@lindavinson1273]

Love this little guy. He seems so proud and happy. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talents. 🥰

[@barbw8972]

That is the cutest little mouse! Your simple approach to watercolouring totally works for this beginner.

[@valsfaves787]

I mean, seriously, could this card be any cuter?! Love it😍

[@ThankfulNanaDiane]

LOVE Anita Jeram, & you have made this little mouse adorable! Thanks for sharing, friend! ❤️😊

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much 😊

[@2005vikki]

Awwwww...that is the cutest little mouse! Love it!

[@michalcooperman201]

Totally the lip gloss!! And that knack you have of making the card magic happen

[@teresasanner-fecto3690]

So darling... and you are always such a joy to watch... always reminding us it doesn't have to be perfect.

[@heidisilinsky1821]

You really changed my day today! You are so upbeat and positive and happy; I just love watching you. You are just what I needed today with these cute little mice! And you did so well with the painting! What a great job! Card looks wonderful! Thank you Cathy!

[@czdesign]

I'm so glad!

[@Bunny_the_Rabbit]

Having matching dies IS exciting. I love the sky. Great shimmer splatter.

[@kellystoutenborough7152]

SO CUTE! Luv CCC & Anita signature characters!!

[@mariawaczek4823]

You crack me up. First off, when ever you are deciding on where to put something, like the star, you always do the opposite of what I was thinking. Also when you are deciding on the card stock color, you never pick the one I was thinking. You’d think by now, I’d know your style, but I’m still learning from you. Enjoy you and your videos. Thank you.

[@kimphillips2542]

This is such a cute little card with an adorable little critter🐀❤

[@sebastianluckenbach5949]

I love the color of the night sky. The mouse is super cute. Cute card. 😊

[@suee5617]

I absolutely love the sky!!! Those mice are adorable too.

[@lissetsanchez5316]

You are a STAR in making cards, cheesy but it came out oh so cute! ⭐️👏🏽

[@czdesign]

Awwwww

[@leeminer1939]

Absolutely, Utterly Charming. Such a nice job with those sweet dies.

[@MelodyElize]

I love how you used the metallic silver for the sky. So so so cute!!!

[@justinemari9776]

Okay.... That's just adorable.

[@DanaJoy]

Super adorable card Kathy. Now I need that cute mouse. 😂

[@czdesign]

So cute, right?

[@marjbiehler7628]

Love this card. Again, you knocked it out of the park. You turned me on to the Anita Jeram stamps and to water coloring. Who knew I could water color? I'm not fantastic, but the cards turn out cute. Watching you gave me the courage to try and now I hardly ever use my copic markers. Thank you.

[@czdesign]

Right? I NEVER painted before i started making cards. Convinced myself it wasn't something I could do!

[@michelebriggs7510]

This is the cutest thing!!!

[@olivia8979]

That is SO cute. I never am tempted to buy the whimsical stamps, but that is absolutely adorable.

[@karenmunson4401]

Such a cute set of stamps and dies. Thanks for sharing your painting tips and tricks.

Cathy this is so cute. Great job at water coloring. I too have to use this technique more often.

[@corinarazo1404]

Such a sweet card there. I'm so glad I follow you. Everything about this card is swoon worthy. Thanks for sharing your makes. Look forward to your next card sesh 👉

[@lizjohnson1174]

OMG....that card is too adorable!! I love it. You did an amazing job on painting. Stop doubting yourself. Every video you keep getting better and better! Before you know it, you'll be hanging out with Van Gogh and/or Picasso...well, I hope not. They're not around anymore. Anyway, thumbs up to you! And your humor, as always, is on point. Can't wait to see what you come up with next. I'm always anxiously awaiting! 🤗🤗

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@karenpowell2828]

Cathy - I may have to stop watching . . . every time I do, I decide I MUST have that stamp, tool or ink. My husband is going to lose it if another package comes for me :) LOL. You are amazing!

[@raceandrodeo]

Hint: have your packages shippes to a neighbor. This works for shoe purchases, too! 🤭

[@raceandrodeo]

Shipped!

[@Brenda_Host]

I feel your pain. Maybe we need to start a “need all the things” support group.

[@karenpowell2828]

@@raceandrodeo LOL . . . they have conveniently been shipped to my work as well ;)

[@karenpowell2828]

@@Brenda_Host Brilliant idea!

[@sonjah1983]

great water color card with Oxides Cathy! Such a sweet stamp too~ Thanks for the great tips . You rock! :)

[@mangobaby2]

I your videos are always so informative. One thing that I have seen before is that after you’re done stamping and coloring your image that you go back and stamp it again kind of brightens it a little bit

[@czdesign]

That's a great idea!

[@susanmason1858]

Love this little guy absolutely perfect for so many occasions. Going to practice my sky blending as I like your colour combinations. Greetings from Sue in Suffolk UK

[@stamperssecret5379]

Hello, cathington! I can’t wait to use Simon Hurleys inks. You can use them as watercolor too. I invested in some awhile ago. But, alas, I’m a really crappy card maker, I just collect Cardist supplies. Lol

[@andreasanders6737]

this is ssoo cute. you make me feel I can colour my stamps. thnx

[@lindabrown3496]

okay! paints are coming out! I just received a pack of T.H. watercolor card stock. Rollin up my sleeves and givin it a try thanks to your encouragement. Love this card!!

[@czdesign]

Get it!

[@leannerykard7722]

Cathy I just got it CZ Designs!!! That's who everybody talks about!! You design all these cute stamp sets!! DUH. I am such an idiot

[@czdesign]

Ha! Yes! Sometimes I think I should do a video just letting people know who I am! Although I didn't design this one! I only wish!

You did fabulous Cathy. Love your card, you made the mouse so cute especially the way the mouse is coloured. In this situation, you are the star student.

Your card is adorable!

[@Princess_karen]

This is adorable, love the little mouse. I love the oxides for ink blending so much better than the distress ink.

[@f.joclemmons5799]

I like the addition of fossilized amber to the stars. I have all the tools to watercolor but have never done it. After watching this video I feel like I can. Cards always turn out beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@maryhano1966]

Love this one!!

[@sallyyotz3995]

I really love that card! Her stamps are so darned cute! Love the way you colored the mouse and the sky. Awesome!!

[@HeidiLilley]

What an adorable image and I love the way you colored it. I was thinking that putting a tree on one side of a card front, and the mouse with the star near the tree, it would look a bit like (s)he was looking where to put the star. so so cute!

[@margaretalbrecht4429]

So excellent!

[@juliewexler380]

Cathy- As always, I love hearing your design deliberations as you go- so helpful. And when our skills aren't at the level of "perfection," it's encouraging and empowering to hear you (one of my top reference experts) remind us that perfection isn't always necessary nor even what we should unconditionally strive for, to be able to consider our work worthy and beautiful. (Yours did, indeed turn out beautifully.) Ever grateful and inspired...

[@czdesign]

So glad to hear that Julie!

[@marjguernsey9502]

Your cards are like therapy! Thank you for the adorable card! I can’t wait to try watercolors!

[@czdesign]

That is high praise!

[@acciojohnnydepp]

your painting was spot on. so adorable, whimsical. love the fact that the coordinating die cuts the tail like that too. The recipient of this card is a lucky person.

[@ginmcd]

that little guy is totally adorable, he's almost enough to cause me to not dislike mice so much . . . on second thought I take that back, I still dislike mice but on cards like this little guy, their cute : )

Same, because they come and live in my old house during winter.

[@barbaralewis3093]

Love this! So cute! Love your painting and ink blending! Can Distress Oxides be used to paint , or do I need the Distress Ink?

[@czdesign]

Yes of course!

[@sherryshumay]

Since watching you use the ink pads for water coloring it seems that's all I do. I prefer to paint than color with markers. Now what to do with all the markers. 😄

[@fastquilter600]

Yes, you paint very well. Yes, the card is too cute. The big star? How about put only part of it in the top corner and then just one little star ( or both). Sandi Vanderhoof BC Canada

[@robinmcauley3462]

[@paulineking1968]

[@lindailey2225]

On the area where you got outside the line, you just need to come in with your wet brush and dab on the spot to get it wetter and then blot up with a paper towel. WAA Laa all fixed.
