Thank you BrandiLyn!

[@morganthomas5336]

You always make me smile. All your comments are exactly what an artist thinks. Love your videos!

[@VikkiReed]

Ah, thank you Morgan! I'm glad...while I can wish to be more polished and professional, I think it might be more valuable to see that the path isn't always clear, and even so there can be a great result!

[@morganthomas5336]

Always love seeing what you're up to Vikki -- definitely an artistic take on the theme -- love the colors!💚💙💜

Thank you, I appreciate you!

[@cathykodra3169]

This was great, Vikki! I love your videos, your kindness, and your humility. Such a lovely Christmas scene! I think this could also make a terrific card. (I definitely need to start my Christmas card designs earlier.) I always learn so much from watching your demonstrations. Many thanks.

[@VikkiReed]

Cathy, thank you! Yes, I got a bit of a late start this year myself...I agree, it WOULD make a great card! I appreciate your lovely compliments very much!

[@katanyajason3316]

Lovely! This gave me the inspiration to make my own! You can get a finer spatter (for snow etc.) using a toothbrush. Dab an old toothbrush onto your paint mixture and then, facing the bristles towards your piece, scrape your thumb over the bristles.

[@VikkiReed]

I'm so glad Katanya, and thank you for the toothbrush tip!

Thank you Betsy! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

You could print the sentiment on tissue and apply. Enjoyed your video.

[@VikkiReed]

That's a great suggestion, thank you!

[@bethdeegan5857]

Wow you remind me of myself! I get kind of “iffy” when I am trying new things. You did great!!! Merry Christmas!!!❤

[@VikkiReed]

Thanks Beth, yes! I was hesitant at first to put it out there when I was waffling around, but then I thought maybe others would benefit so I went ahead!

Thank you for sharing that great idea! Does there need to be a coat of something over the top to protect it?

Hi Karen, thank you, yes, I always spray varnish my pieces with Winsor Newton Professional Matt Varnish, at least two coats!

[@donnag955]

which rice paper is your fav

[@VikkiReed]

Hi Donna, thank you for your question, without a doubt my favorite rice paper is the Japan Bargain Calligraphy Rice Paper (link is in the description along with all other supplies). It tears easily and simply melts into collage pieces which is primarily what I use my gelli prints for. If I want to create greeting cards, I use Premium HP32 copy paper which is much sturdier and you can cut it...the rice paper is hard to cut accurately, especially with a paper cutter.

[@BB-nz5sk]

BLINK!!! Please!!

[@VikkiReed]

Thanks for the suggestion, will do!

@@BB-nz5sk haha, point taken, thank you! I do tend to be wound a bit tight...I am resolved to relax and enjoy myself more, which should result in more enjoyment for the viewers as well!
