Creating and Taking Inspiration (991)

[@catherinegresham2594]

Wouldn’t it be terrific if Natasha could hit 100,000 subscribers by the time she posts her 1,000th video !!! 😊 Natasha, it was a video of yours (the vintage hexagon) that got me back into this crafty outlet. I started stamping and making cards in my early 20’s, then left it behind, had a family etc…..I am now well into my 50’s. It was over a year ago I saw that video and the therapy I have enjoyed in my crafty space has been fantastic, all the while being inspired by your terrific tutorage. So much enjoyment and creativity to be had. Thank you! Cath from Australia.

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

Ohhhh that would be a fun goal, not long until the 1000th video though!! Only a couple of weeks!!

[@oldmedtech]

It is amazing to watch the number of views fly up just in the time it took for me to watch the video. I was sixth and when I finished there were over 80!! You go girl! Beautiful card!!❤

[@dawnmulder3540]

And 3 hours in there are over 1,500!! Go, Natasha!

[@dollydimple6083]

Fab tip to stick the flowers to the mint tape whilst inking. Thank-you

[@Taitcreates639]

Natasha, I have so many die cut flowers that I’ve never used. This gave me so much inspiration. Your card is brilliant as well as beautiful.

[@virginiachamberlain3073]

Honestly Natasha, you are inspiring. I wish i could just, 'set off' and achieve the beautiful cards we get to admire from your inspirational videos. .

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

I get the beauty of being able to edit remember...so some days just don't work out for me too :)

[@JessKing-xi4gt]

My goodness those flowers look absolutely stunning! Such beautiful dimension to them, they almost remind me of a Heartfelt Creations set. So beautiful! Love the vintage look and the way you thin out those papers. This would have to be another favourite card of yours to add to the mix. So clever Natasha. 😊❤

[@sallytaitt6204]

This card is lovely. I envy your straight cutting skills. 🌻🌻

[@gloriareynolds3292]

Just love the floral/mixed media/vintage look. Your tip to “thin out” the thicker pieces is genius. Thanks.

[@barbarahill6365]

Those Tim Holtz backgrounds really look good with the flowers. Have to say I often have trouble using the ephemera.

[@vivienneblackburn4380]

Thank you Natsha. I love your videos and your technique tips. 😍

[@pattyfromherz9965]

I love the bright yellow flowers, they are so cheerful, thank you again for sharing these wonderful ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this style of cards. You created a gorgeous card. 💫

Thank you so much for the tip about the background paper. ♥️

Gorgeous! Love your tips and ideas. Thanks again for sharing. Cheryl 😊

[@cindyellis765]

Gorgeous card. Love the touch of mixed media!😊

[@shellyrulli5787]

Excellent! I wasn't sure where this was going with TH Ideology paper, but with the flowers and stem its lovely! Thanks, Natasha!

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

I never know where it's going either lol!

[@lindavinson1273]

Amazing card! Those flowers are lovely! 🥰

[@christinemeynell7276]

That's a beautiful card, you make it look so simple.

[@arlenepowders4989]

I absolutely love this card….thank you so much❤️

[@Lainers2000]

I have ALL the Oxide colors and I don’t think I could make the flowers look this great! Lovely card, Natasha.

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

Ohh all the colours sounds fabulous! I don't have the room for them even if I could have them, but there are maybe a couple more colours I would like to try I think. Do you have a few favourites?

[@Lainers2000]

@@NatashaFooteCreative I had to look and I realized there are so many I haven’t used…but I’m one of those buy ‘em all types. Aged Mahogany, Speckled Egg, Mustard Seed (which you have). I use Lumberjack Plaid quite a bit, Stormy Sky. Really any of the blues are greats for blending skies. You definitely don’t need the whole set. I’m getting better, really I am.

[@pinkmosquito22]

I love this card!!! 🤩 Girl, I wish I could come up with amazing designs as easily as you do!

[@nancycrutchfield117]

Another good one! TFS enjoyed as always!

[@MorgaineChristensen]

What a beautiful card! Love how you used the mint tape to help ink the pieces. I am starting to use my mint tape a lot having found how useful it is. I have recently learned you can tape multiple cards pieces together (example 3 by 3 quilt type pattern in one inch squares) on the front (together or apart) place your adhesive on the back as normal, then lay the whole layer on the card for perfectly aligned pieces. Gently remove the mint tape and save for later use. This technique has really improved my prior alignment issues and how my cards look. Fantastic product!

[@judyhartmann3071]

Love the vintage background with these beautiful flowers! You are so fantastic in mixing things I would not think to do! I always get lots of inspiration from your videos!

[@MoonEyesDesign]

Love this mixed media card.

[@susancrosier5420]

Fabulous card. I love the background! You are so close to 100,000 subscribers. Congratulations ❤

Fabulous mixed media vintage card!!! Like your tip about peeling the backs off to make it thinner. Thank you and have a fun weekend💕🐬

[@sherrymiller1250]

Beautiful card. Thank you for sharing.

[@kittymauger7041]

I haven't used that kind of ephemera because I was unsure on placement and never content. I love to see how you put those together and how beautiful that background worked with the pretty flowers. Thanks for once again inspiring me to see different ideas and just go for it!

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

Brilliant, i'm glad you found it useful. I'll be sure to use them in some more videos to give you more ideas if you'd like :)

[@wendihaikugrl2651]

I love this card!! The background came out so cool…I have trouble with that type of ephemera- I will take inspiration from you!! 💘TYFS!!✨✨

[@JPTBus]

I have that exact ephemera! What a great idea!

Awesome card love all the details 🦋💜

Beautiful card! Thank you.

[@louiseorr8963]

Beautiful card. I would love to see some art journaling videos as well!?

[@rebeccafiveash4335]

Gorgeous blending and card design. I especially love the torn up paper scraps behind those pretty flowers. I know you only have a brown but I think a different colour would make a change I.e., vintage blues/sage greens etc.

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

Ohhh that would be beautiful too! Great idea!

[@sandrawijckmans4306]

I really love that card so amazing

[@tammyhenderson4565]

[@juliecurtis9517]

I love this card!

[@suetownsend1932]

There is something about this card that I really like, perhaps the juxtaposition of vintage and new, but I find it eye-catching! It is beautiful and unexpected.

[@dise331]

Wow, this card turned out fabulously - those flowers are gorgeous, and I really love the torn edge look with the vintage background 🌻🌻

[@bethjackson8727]

This turned out extremely well. Very nice touch to the whole card.

I love the mix of rustic (or maybe vintage is the better word) with the delicate flowers. Wild honey is one of my favorite oxide colors.

[@scrapcathy868]

Lovely work, think you got the look. Only 9 to go. Been amazing watching you for so long.

[@rondabolding2105]

Beautiful

[@TinyStitches1]

Leaving negative highlights is like trying to do 'random placement' - its hurts my head, I can't do it either - I'm too organised, to OCD do leave bits or do disorganised!! Love the videos - any length, you create some gorgeous cards. Leah in Adelaide.

[@RobinsCardNest]

Your flowers are lovely!

[@kaylynn0215]

Tasha, your coloring & ink blending is always beautiful! Splitting the thicker pieces is great. I have several of those, but don't use them on cards because they are so thick & don't work for me and I don't know what to do with them. If you have other ideas on how to use them, please share. Another beautiful card!! ❤ Thank you for sharing your talents!

[@cheryl7476]

Hi Natasha, I looked in your description for the tiny brush thing, you used to make the small color dot in the center of the flower. It looks quite handy. A you tell me its name or where to find them. What a lovely die. May have to put this on my wishlist, as if I need one more flower die, but it’s so nice! Your card. Turned out beautifully, and I love the background. Have a fun weekend., Natasha!

[@janeastwick1418]

Wow Natalie, I would not have thought to use those Tim Holtz items to go with the flowers, but they work perfectly! Love it!

[@pauladyer9845]

Thanks…I think I will cut some dies with my good watercolor paper and go for it

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

Great idea, happy crafting!

[@kathyroberts9703]

Beautiful card Natasha! Can you provide the brand name of the little highlight brushes you used, I didn’t see them in your supply list. Thanks so much!

[@annechristensen6252]

I watched one of your old videos and you said you love your stamp platform.Could you tell me make size and where I can buy one.I am in New Zealand to and card maker.Have you got a wattle flower sticky mat inside?Thank you Anne

[@pamthornton2922]

Lovely! Do you have a separate box of finger daubers for dye & pigmen/oxide or do you just use the same daubets for all your inks?

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

I don't have daubers for my dye inks actually..I just have 5 brushes for dye inks (that I use for all the colours) and then I have finger daubers for all of my oxides, as well as 5 brushes that I use if I need to colour bigger pieces.

[@beppieshofje]

Prachtig

[@sharonjohnstone5758]

Great card, Natasha. Who are your inspirations that you follow on You Tube or Instagram?

[@Cherishthamoment]

Do you have a link for the ink brush you used at 4:03/

[@juliesmith3857]

Natasha what weight did you use for flower paper? I assume you use 110 for card base?

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

I use all the same paper for everything these days. Simplifying life! I use the 110lb for everything (the Francheville brand)

[@juliesmith3857]

@@NatashaFooteCreative thank you so much. Is there a way to tell if something is solid core or white core without buying it and testing it out. I hate it when I go to make my creases with the bone folder and find out that it’s white in the middle.
