I have such issues coloring and making it look real with shadows and shading. You make it look so easy especially the octopus. These cards came out really cute thanks for the video.

[@NancyLynn]

These really are gorgeous cards Kelly. I must compliment you on your Copic coloring skills, especially doing the octopus as that is one creature that I would definitely struggle with, with respect to shading and highlighting. Loved the colors you chose for the background panels too. TFS Kelly

[@kathleencarter9739]

You just blow my mind with your coloring girl!!! Beautiful!! Love the little creatures!

I love your cards Kelly, and how you colour them with such passion. These 3 are very cute. Thanks for sharing.

[@dlp454]

These are really adorable. I like how you talk through what you are thinking about shading ... very helpful. Best example of using Distress Oxide I have seen. I love them but am struggling with how to incorporate them into my cards. Your manicure is incredible!

[@christinesmith989]

Fabulous cards! Love the backgrounds and your nail polish is so cool! xxx

[@carlaschechner721]

[@carolestrawn8755]

Love these cards. I just got a set of 12 of the Distress Oxides and haven't used them yet. Got to do it after seeing this.

[@dianeorfanelli940]

Oh, now I know who does your beautiful manicures! Such talent!

[@vickicervantes1817]

Two years later and I just found these adorable little cards that you've done

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Unfortunately it isn't one color. It's a gradient I did with 3 colors and a make up sponge. Sorry!

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Wow! So glad I found this video. Love the backgrounds and all the sea creatures. So cute, thanks for sharing.

[@jsi4452]

Love your colors and of course the little fishy guys, especially the whale. Love your shading. Good job!

[@jsi4452]

Thanks.

[@ramonasmithson439]

Kelly love watching your videos! You are so funny and talanted. Always learn so much! !!

[@candacekieper4354]

very glad you show youre full work sometimes want to see a small step done on some cards and it is dissappointing to watch a whole video to have the thing or color you wanted to see deleted.

[@Saintly2]

Your colouring is amazing. Some of the best I’ve seen on YT.

[@claychick100]

Great video. You have the most beautiful hands, very graceful. Yes, your nail polish is super cool too!

[@samanthamann1523]

sooooooo pretty!! love the backgrounds! love those cute sea critters and how you colored them!!! lovely!

[@norinemueller4588]

Love the background and card of course also been meaning to tell you I love your nails they look awesome

[@sylviasmith12]

Norine Mueller Dont throw them out. Put them away for a few days and then go back to them. Sometimes you get so focussed on the detail you dont look at the picture as a whole. Also lay your critters or whatever you have coloured and leave it on your table and walk away. When you go back with your colouring against the background will be more complete and blend better and you will probably see that the colouring is fine.

[@norinemueller4588]

sylvia smith great advice Sylvia thank you will keep trying

[@lindakeevers5177]

They are sooo cute and I love the colours. I like your nails as well.

[@wenncarne6644]

Kelly I've just discovered your channel and have subscribed, wow, talk about learning so much in one video! The way you explain about the shading, and why your doing it because of the light source and where it's coming from was so helpful for a newbie like me ☺️ Thank-you so much for teaching and sharing your techniques, these stamp sets are adorable 💕

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Welcome aboard! :)

[@migdaliarodriguez1995]

Love the wonderful background!!Adorable!! TFS

[@LipsitaArt]

My first attraction was your amazingly painted nails. It's like sunset sky and water 😍 secondly the sea animals drawings are amazing. Loved the shading you created with markers. Thank you very much for sharing. Let's stay connected #LipsitaArt

[@carolnelson7107]

Outstanding cards! The backgrounds are beautiful... Thank you for sharing... :-)

[@susanwestlund7308]

Thanks so much, you helped me with my comic shading a lot! The cards and nails are great.

[@lindazabel5925]

I always learn something from your tutorials!! Thank you!!

[@barbaralyons3002]

You make shading look so easy 😊

[@jilllancett6113]

Kelly, I love watching your videos, but I especially love your commentary....We probably couldn't be further apart, I'm in Australia, but you seem to have the same sense of humour as me...I always get a little laugh, while I'm watching, including 'the little starfish'! I'm sure you could've popped one more in there!!!!

[@pattiepan]

great colors Kelly....and another great card from you...........pat

[@jeannetteburnett1457]

What a great tutorial!! You do beautiful work. I really learned a lot. Thank you so much.

[@andrealavigne7824]

I would say, if the video gremlins have to take something, card assembly is probably the best thing to take. I'd much rather not miss the coloring--which is generally more intricate--than the assembly. For very beginners, it may be more of a problem, but for those of us who are more experienced, not so much. So don't feel too bad--I don't feel like we were gypped! :) Thank you so much for sharing your process--love the end results! :)

[@BethHemry]

Love your nails! I love coloring

[@suzanneO6924]

These are amazing. I am also an outliner. If I keep my stamps in my Misti, I sometimes cheat and stamp again over my colored images. GREAT video. Thank you.

[@tinapike2066]

Soooo cute!! Love the look of the oxide inks but will have to wait a while. Great video as always : )).

[@montii0910]

Lovely work!

[@Katerina-vm2ok]

Love your work...

[@63mona]

[@Just1lovetory]

Love the video and your nails!!!! Beautiful!!!!!💖🤗😍

[@Psychedelic_Time_Traveller]

Wow, I love these. You really had a lot of helpful information. Thank you.

[@matildamontgomery3229]

Beautiful just beautiful.

[@WendyCranford]

Gorgeous backgrounds. Always learn something from your videos. You need to do some videos of how you do your nails. Lol

[@officeholycross1800]

Beautiful cards! I appreciate your tips. 😄

[@susanelisd5584]

Brilliant video. Thanks.

[@petmomful2260]

Such cute cards!

[@anairamfc]

[@Gretchen5ful]

Love, love the backgrounds ! The cards are so cute, sorry about the gremlins! On another note, please show your pretty nails in slow motion, lol and the color. Inquiring viewers need to know Hugs

[@daughteroftheking4266]

Cute cards but more importantly I love your nails.

[@deenlkr]

loved the cards and the manicure too :)

[@laurabuehler]

That first background kind of looks like a jellyfish. Fits so well with the theme.

[@lovingmyselfwell4569]

Really sssuper sweetly blended! I'm just beginning work w/my Distress Oxides so this video reminded me of a Tim Holtz video where he demonstrated similarly. Your cards are gorgeegeewhiz & so too your nails, how FunFUNFun! Thanks for your joys, it really shows! ~X🎨💦X~

[@carolinethomasBF]

Love your videos and the cards are fab ❤️❤️❤️

[@CardsbyMaaike]

love the backgrounds and the crittercoloring, never mind about the video gremlins, I think we can all see what you did, It happens sometimes to me too, esp around 30 mins my camers stops filming even if i have lots and lots of space on the memory card...

[@sylviasmith12]

Lovely cards!

[@jennifergaylehuggins7977]

So pretty!

[@LilCraftyNook]

Your coloring is amazing!! I'd hate to see sloppy...😋I like matchy too! Don't always achieve it...

[@Nan8able]

So much fun!

[@RosyJalifi]

Gorgeous

[@thecraftguy21]

Omg .. love it 💕

[@stephaniehuntley302]

So cute!

[@martinatrobs839]

Love this Card s. Beautiful Card s.

[@pamelasertich9850]

Beautiful 💕💕💕

[@janemalupo7220]

I love this!! So fun! But please, Kelly, tell us how you got your paper to lie flat when it was dry, without taping it down. Mine warps and curls, and even when I put it under a piile of books it still is hard to make the tape stick when I attach it to the card base.

[@barbarahill6365]

I wonder if you could take a non Teflon bone folder and wrap it with Teflon tape. If your not familiar with Teflon tape--its in the hardware plumbing section. It's used for wrappingvaround the threads of a pipe.

[@4kiitieslady]

Love these cards! LOVE your nails too ❤️❤️❤️ How did you do them?? 😯

[@KellyTaylorCards]

4kiitieslady thanks! I paint the nail polish on a makeup sponge and then dab it on my nails to get a gradient. There are tons of videos on KZbin if you want to see it :)

[@sharonpott4253]

Love them

[@dayknowltonjr]

So cool thanks for sharing

[@Julika7]

Other topic: I adore your finger nail polish. How do you do it, how is it called?

[@KellyTaylorCards]

It's called a gradient and I do mine with a make up sponge. You just paint the nail polish on the sponge and dab it on your nail. I usually have to do 3 coats to get a solid color.

[@norinemueller4588]

Kelly Latevola I cannot believe you do those nails yourself just one more thing you do that I admire
