I used these cards (first design) for a sympathy card for a friend whose brother passed away suddenly. Thank you for creating such a lovely card that could be used for so many reasons.

[@Nancy-pf6ft]

The app or page you used to pick a winner was pretty cool! We all ‘win’ when we start our Sunday with one of your videos. Thanks for all you do!

[@sheillabailey5080]

Hello from Ontario August 2, 2023. I love watching your process. You have lovely penmanship. 💛🇨🇦

[@jkellyfamily9]

So lovely - clean, simple, refreshing. Thank you for sharing your process!

[@sherylosullivan9619]

I’m loving my new adventure into simple watercolour and am so grateful to people like you for sharing your talent so generously

[@gwenanderson1914]

So sweet!

[@sandineal1255]

Thanx so much for demonstrating use of Bee 140lb. I've been struggling with it, as it blooms easily. I learnt a lot from this video, but, mostly to accept a mild bloom as art as well. Change expectations when changing paper. You can't get the same result eith all papers. I carefully noted your judicious use of water and strokes. Lovely video, Ceecee! 👍🙏

[@arnomrnym6329]

Nice work! 👍😎

[@RedRockingBird]

A lovely tutorial as always CeeCee

[@carlenejake]

So pretty!

[@joanwilkey4020]

Thank you very much for reminding me that Less is More. Good job💕

[@anuradha.roy12]

So beautiful ...👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 ma'am..

[@irmas-music]

Wonderful

[@navyboymommygramma]

What?! I didn't win? But I said wink wink at the end of my comment, I thought we understood each other hahahaha you know I'm kidding., right? Those cards are adorable, especially the balls on sticks. I seem to have a un-natural affinity for round things, but only on paper. Weird. Congratulations to the winner, what a lucky soul.

[@joaniegreen2184]

Very Nice!💕💕

[@savantbleu0250]

Thank you 🐱

[@purplesuzylou]

I love this new set of cards and the colors you have chosen!

[@kayworley8130]
