Hello Healthy can I ask you a question?

[@BrendaBodwin]

❤❤❤

[@linnygaard3366]

I really enjoy your videos and this one is great! I'd like to see you collage with your papers. I've got a stack of prints and not sure what to do with them. ❤

[@VikkiReed]

Thanks Lin! I've done several videos on that and more in the works...I can't solve the "stack of gorgeous gelli prints" problem, but I can certainly make a dent in it..."How to Use Gelli Print Papers for Collage Projects" kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJytp2Bqr9eYrq8 and "Using Your Gelli Prints in a Mixed Media Bird Collage" kzbin.info/www/bejne/aImQdZqoocllb6c and there are more, but that should get you started! I routinely use my gelli prints in my paintings, both as a foundation to get started and as finishing touches. The possibilities are unlimited! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@duttondavid]

Hello Lin can I ask you a question?

[@judyconstantino7035]

Awesome card! Can’t wait to try this! Did you use a hole punch to cut out the circles for the balls on the tree?

[@VikkiReed]

Thanks so much, Judy! I just cut the balls out with scissors. It was easy because I used the "Bubble Blast" stencil from Joggles (one of my faves!), and so the circles were already defined. You could use a hole punch if it made really BIG circles!

[@judyconstantino7035]

@@VikkiReed I think I’ll use some circle dies. I have a variety of sizes. Even though I’m pretty good at fussy-cutting, circles can be a challenge for me.🥴

[@VikkiReed]

@@judyconstantino7035 Sounds brilliant to use the circle dies, find ways to make it the easiest and most fun, that way you'll enjoy the creative process even more!

[@roseandtraincottage]

Hi Vikki! I enjoyed your video. I first heard about you from P & M artist Studio.

[@VikkiReed]

Hi Linda, thank you! I will look up P & M Artist Studio!

[@duttondavid]

HellovLinda can I ask you a question?

[@donnacarraway9182]

Loved the card!! You didn’t show the cool stuff you got at H.L. that you said you were 🥲 Still I really enjoy your channel!!💕

[@VikkiReed]

Donna, YES! I apologize for that...I have someone that helps me with my videos and the other "bits" didn't make the cut. I actually found wood cut ornaments that were perfect for pressing on the Gelli Plate to make imprints. Maybe it will evolve differently next holiday season. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

[@63artemisia63]

Do the unbrayered blobs of color 5:08 bother you? I take a minute to mix my paint with a skewer (blunt end) to avoid ending up with blobs on my prints.

[@VikkiReed]

Hi Lynn, thanks for that tip! The blobs don't bother me, but now I know how to avoid them just in case!

[@susansieber6189]

Awesome!!!

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you, Susan!
