I love how you made these non traditional holiday colors look so wintery and holiday-like. Especially because blues and greens are MY favorite colors too! TFS! Oh btw, you gained a new subscriber! (*me*)

What great backgrounds. How fun to smush and finger paint. I'm going to do that this afternoon for the first time. Wish me luck. 😁

[@SandiMacIver]

good luck Hari and have fun, finger painting is the best haha.

[@judithsigler9644]

Oh, Sandi! WHAT FUN! I can “hear the ‘JOY’ in your voice” throughout the video! LOVE THAT! I really like how you turned these into Holiday Cards~~~thinking “outside the box” w/the varied colors! REALLY COOL! GREAT TIP to leave the dies together n’ then cut ‘em all, keeping a stash to use as needed! SMART IDEA, Lady! Thank you! I have Perfect Pearls so anxious to try that “mix”! YAY! TFS n’ HAPPY CRAFTIN’! :-)

[@SandiMacIver]

Judith Sigler thank you Judith. I do love to play in a mess haha. I have friends who love mixed media so these Christmas cards will be perfect for them. Perfect pearls make the perfect translucent spray to use over almost anything, have fun.

Really love these Sandi x

[@SandiMacIver]

thank you Vonnie, hope you will give them a try

[@angelahartley3212]

Have you seen wendy vecchi do this with alcohol instead of water on plain cardstock. It will not distort the paper...it works but I tried to do it a second round and it curled a little but love using the alcohol instead of watee.tfs!! I so enjoy your videos!

[@SandiMacIver]

Angela Hartley yes I have Angela, fun to do with alcohol too. I actually prefer the thicker Watercolor paper and like the depth of the colors when they soak into it. If your paper curls, just just a heat tool on the back of it to straighten it out as you dry it. Thank you for your kind comments, I love sharing videos with you guys.

[@angelahartley3212]

@@SandiMacIver absolutely and whenever I don't have to use a heat gun that's a good thing also!! Take good care!!
