Missed the live but thank goodness for replays ❤ Thanks Tom and Gina for the effort, time, creativity and inspiration!!!! ❤❤❤

[@Gloria_Davis]

Totally agree.

[@DonnaMuff]

Thank you Gina for mentioning you will put your information about the color combos on your blog. I am not on social media and always feel like I'm missing out. I love being able to print documents from your website/blog. Beautiful card and color combination today. I love colored pencils and stencils too. I can't figure out copic markers either.

[@kkrolf2782]

( Psst!! Donna, could you please share HOW you get to Gina’s blog?? Thanks, in advance, for any help you’ll afford me! )

[@barbaraanderson9362]

Outstanding design, Gina. Love to watch you work your magic! You too, Tom! Before I place a new order, I may need to practice my “card-wheels! It may be tricky with my walker😂!

[@CraftyKiwiMama]

The black pencil adds the drama and depth and dimension, so beautifully done Gina! Beautiful image too. Tom's word of the day is always such a giggle, card-wheel, so fun! So cool seeing the two card bases together, you were totally right about the Denim letting the flowers be the feature! Both designs are stunning, but you're so right the pencil adds real depth and drama to the colouring and the denim is just gorgeous as the base colour xoxo

[@user-uc7lo9qp2e]

Lynn Le Bel Watched the replay! WOW! Great technique! It really makes the flowers pop!! Love the card!

[@CraftyToad70]

Missed the live (on a getaway celebrating our 54th anniversary) but glad I caught the replay. Great tip with the black Prismacolor pencil. Beautiful!!

[@karentarolli3969]

Adding the black gives the flowers a beautiful depth of color. I love the addition. TY for sharing this technique!

[@marydewey6117]

Your demonstrations teach me and inspire. Thanks!

[@gillianmccullum2848]

You could turn those oval green leaves into small blue buds.❤

[@lyndasterling9716]

Sounds like a great idea!

[@marionshaw9619]

Yes plse Gina..do a video on the Master Layouts..I’m confused ( which isn’t difficult for me 🤣🤣🤣)

[@elenamatusiak4117]

Love this new technique with black pencils for shadowing!!! Excellent!!! I can’t wait to try it myself!!!

[@jo-annmaruszak9885]

That flower with your coloring is just beautiful ❤

[@bevpallenbelbin7100]

Missed the live but love that I can watch the replay. Thanks Gina and Tom.

[@jo-annmaruszak9885]

I love the master layout dies. ❤

[@user-fp4fe2yz9x]

Always look forward to your "Lives", videos, technique tips and questions from viewers.

[@robertanordquist9117]

Love the depth the black gives

[@sueplatt8899]

That is SO cool using that black pencil-thank you, for suggesting that tip! Looks so like professional coloring! Pretty card❣️

[@heidirobles7164]

I always love your cards and techniques and find inspiration in watching your videos. But who knew my biggest takeaway was the rosemary trick for hair loss. I’m truly going to give it a try and I grow rosemary so it’s a win, win.

[@deesyling8426]

I am reading other write ins and saw one about you idea using rosemary to help hair loss. Can you hive me that receipe for that. That you so much. You are full of so much help!!Dee Sylinh

[@deesyling8426]

Thank you how quick you let us know. I am the hip replacement woman. Dee

[@karenmckay7398]

Beautiful card. Lots of great tips shared - thank you!

[@debbiethomas8743]

I have 45 full sets of coloured pencils,pastels,,water colour pencils, and markers . I had to have them all because when I was growing up I didn’t even have a set of 12 pencils to take to sch. Open stock over here are anywhere from 3-8 dollars each

[@dcn9550]

Yes, Gina, I agree that we should experiment with new techniques such as black pencil on pastel ink. As Maymay (maymaymadeit) always says about the possibility of ruining a card project , "It's only paper!" ☺️

[@rosemaryjohnson1612]

Those blue flowers are beautiful. 😊

[@reJOYCEful1]

🍃Beautiful card, Gina…love the word o’ the day, Tom. You two are a great team and example to us all🌿Thank You Both🍃

[@marzs1214]

I fell in love with your beautiful florals but when you stamped the greeting I was even more in love with your card. ❤

[@lyndasterling9716]

Went out today and bought my black pencil and also got my Gamso. I got mine at Hobby Lobby for $1.99 for the pencil and $7.99 for the Gamso. Gina your advice to buy only the color you need is the best. It is so easy to think you need the set but so many colors one might never use. Waiting for Blending Stumps to be in stock.

[@stampinsueduffy]

Appreciate the tip for lining up your die cutting, too. Simple solutions we never think of! Lovely cards.

[@rosemcclintock2343]

Do you make envlope

[@deesyling8426]

Thank you so much for replays. I had a hip replacement and I did not get on my phone until now. I am so glad I found you first. Something while I recupe!! I be watching more now. Thank you for being you. You explain so well. Hugs Dee Syling

[@carolwineman9447]

VERY thankful for the replays!!!!

[@michellepaperchaser]

So much more controllable coloring with stencils and the colored pencils/gamsol. The final look is rich, deep and so eye pleasing. I enjoy how you explain the process as it makes it all so understandable. Great cards.

[@rdecook651]

I agree with the choice of card base. Beautiful card. Love using the black pencil to create more depth.

[@jo-annmaruszak9885]

Yes thank goodness for replay 😊. I would not want to miss this video. I love this card. 🎉

[@pattiestarzynski]

LOVE what the black does for the card 💙💙💙 Beautiful!

[@debbiethomas8743]

You can get a product from a hair supply shop . It is a three part system. It helped me when I lost my hair after breast cancer. It wouldn’t start to grow back but this really helped.

[@lynnereeder7117]

When I learned to paint I was taught to use black and white for highlights.

[@robertanordquist9117]

Yes the black pops it

[@sandraunrath2148]

Watching the replay and great positioning of floral image

[@MercyCuenca]

You can do it with the complimentary colour of your base colour to create nuetralized depth.

[@micheleholbrook8697]

Catching the replay - work was too crazy today to watch earlier. :)

[@ikiejohnson3000]

Hello every one from Peoria Az

[@kkrolf2782]

QUESTION, GINA: What kind of effect would you get if you used a different color; say, a darker blue or purple over the colors you’ve layer down?
