how to recycle watercolor paintings: quick & easy holiday greeting cards

[@cathymurray4134]

I love watching your videos, they inspire me to paint, thank you, Cathy from Canada

[@simpleartideas]

Great!! You made them in so simple ways... still they are perfectly cute and fit for the season. I love your cards.

[@opal777]

Suggestion: Print what you want on the back of the watercolor papers so that you can cut it backwards and when you flip, all you will see is the watercolor....no stray black lines. And if they are not symmetrical, remember to flip the art work before cutting. Also, if you do it this way and have a Scan N Cut, it would recognize the simple black lines and cut it for you! This was a great idea...thanks for sharing it....loved the ornament cards.

[@creationsceecee]

thank you so much. it's a fantastic idea. however, i did it the other way because i wanted to target specific areas/colors. have a beautiful and creative day!

[@blackitten2]

You are such a dear to share your personal artwork. These cards are amazing and even your handwriting is a beautiful work of art. I love to water color. I'm in no way a pro I just enjoy the ease, relaxation and fun it brings. So I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing your stunning work and ideas. Holiday Hugs! ❤❤❤

Hey, a tea brewing tip. Put the milk in after brewing. Once you add milk, it stops the tea from brewing. :)

[@nansanfilippo7035]

Love the upcycling

[@normamiller2316]

Beautiful! You’re so creative. Thanks for the ideas!

[@dalyte62]

I'm so happy to hear from you again CeeCee. You always have such great ideas. Beautiful cards, thank you

[@hollychristiansen5930]

creationsceecee -- I love this idea and want to use it to make cards this year. I missed where you had links to the previous videos showing how you make the background paintings. Would you be able to share that here? Thank you so much! I love your work!

[@pinkbox000]

You are so smart. Thank you.

[@lizkb5473]

Now I have to try and remember to do the ornament ones for next year. I finished this years ones. Very cute and Happy Holidays....

[@creationsceecee]

happy holidays to you and yours as well!

[@abbystone5738]

Very cute card ideas!! I am new (and not so good) watercolor "artist". This gives me a way to use up all my crappy trial work! I'd love to see your ideas for birthday and other holiday cards. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

[@creationsceecee]

wonderful! i'm glad you like the idea.

[@dawnkarasaki6172]

J'adore le résultat. C'est un très bon moyen de récupérer nos peintures et dessins. Merci de partager avec nous.

[@creationsceecee]

Merci à toi, Johanne, pour ce commentaire et bonne journée!

[@CreatorsStop]

Great! I'm also an KZbin artist and have many of the papers those are accidentally got messed and rejected, surely I'm gonna try this one.

[@christinestrong6941]

so wonderful! I'm inspired to create!

[@konnykrafter3326]

BEAUTIFUL Pretties Cards! ~BLESSINGS~

[@nolapassmore2266]

Great ideas. I have a lot of failed art that could be recycled :)

[@melaneyprevett6431]

Pretty pretties! Thank you for sharing.

[@cazyoung5887]

Love these inventions tfs xx

[@frederiquemarechal8747]

I will try asap

[@patriciapiot5153]

Amie virtuelle tu enchantes mon coeur quand je suis sur tes vidéos. Merci pour tes partages. Peux tu me dire sur quel qualité de papier tu peins je le vois brillant ? Merci bises de Bordeaux France.

[@creationsceecee]

Merci, Patricia! Je travaille sur du papier aquarelle mais j’ai probablement utilisé de la peinture métallique.

[@paulahaynes6131]

Such adorable ideas and they all came out so nice. Thanks, I wish I could support you but us starving artist have to pinch the pennies.

[@Pstanich]

Tea with milk. How British

[@marabalorios]

Muy lindas🎄🎄

[@PVMA23]

You are one of the most generous of KZbin teachers. All videos are packed full of useful info. When you show work that you consider 'rejects' I go ..."Noooo. Those are gorgeous!" But I do understand what you mean. :-) ......... Your recycling videos have allowed me to be less hard on myself when one of my projects doesn't turn out the way I want. I recall "Cee Cee is okay with what she thinks is less desirable work. And she has been doing this longer. So just keep going" And also, I do not understand how anyone could thumbs-down these tutorial videos. Any tutorial video. They are free for the love of God.

[@creationsceecee]

awh, it's ok. thank you so much for this sweet comment. wishing you a lot of joyful creations!

[@FannaTurano]

CeeCee! These are so clever OUand lovely! Always enjoy your work. I think and "feel" too much when I sit & paint, so I paint large pieces standing to avoid "memories!" LOL I never thought to save my yuckier & love what you've done with yours. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Fanna Turano Denver, Colorado US of A!

[@RandySandknop]

I was inspired by your techniques and set about using a few rejects to make some Christmas cards today. I didn't have gesso or some of the other supplies you used but still managed to get plenty of paint onto the watercolor paper. I did ornaments and wow! I'm so happy with the results. Thanks so much for this video and the instructions, I love your style so much!

[@maxzime171]

Je viens tout juste de découvrir tes vidéos KZbin, et j'adore ton travail et ta personnalité! Je suis au Nouveau-Brunswick et je crois que tu es de Montréal? J'assume que tu es francophone mais si non je me répète en anglais. I just discovered your tutorial videos, and I have to tell you that I LOVE both your work, and your personality! You're awesome!

[@maxzime171]

Oops I guess I was on my son's Google account when I wrote my comment. My name is Michelle :o)

[@creationsceecee]

Merci beaucoup, Michelle, pour le gentil commentaire. oui je suis de Montréal et le français est ma langue maternelle. j'espère que votre hiver n'est pas trop horrible. bonne créativité!

[@marcwheeler4406]

I love the Christmas stockings so very cute.. binge watching many of your older tutorials watching this video makes me smile thank you so very much for doing videos...mikelle newyork mom😷👩‍🎨🎨✌😀

[@4everminky]

Thank you Cee Cee

[@yixi7027]

The idea is cool!

[@jennyc5132]

Enjoyed it twice CeeCee 🤭🤭🤭 you left this old girl for dead talking about air transfers, computer programs etc etc etc - I am definitely a hands on technophobe...but I loved the rejected art pieces and the end result cards were lovely. The paint palette colours were really pretty compared to harsh primary colours etc normally used. You are an inspiration and thankyou for that 💜⚘

[@juliebergacker5680]

Awesome 🎄👍👏😁

[@janicemoio5768]

Thank you for the great ideas! I have some stuff I wasn't pleased with and I have not thrown away... I have been stuck on my creativity and usually I paint something everyday..... wasn't feeling it. I am always inspired by your work without copywriting any of it... Taking some of your ideas and making it my own. Beautiful and elegant and simple and that is what I like😁☕👍💖

[@janicemoio5768]

What a wonderful inspiration for leftover scraps not usable as our own inside critics tell us! I can't wait to look through my stash👍☕ love your videos!

[@borni5927]

👏👏👏👏❤️

[@sandybeebe9149]

[@doraevatt8320]

Awesome

[@priscillawatkins9539]

Ahhh CeeCee. It's been a while since I watched any videos because ...well...some life happened. It was such a joy to watch this today.

[@navyboymommygramma]

Those are quite beautiful. I gotta tell ya, though.... when you started talking about how to work your templates I heard iPad and pencil. The rest? It's like you were from another planet hahaha I am SO not a geek hahaha I do love the idea of saving your not so favorite works to recycle, I've done that forever even with my practice pages simply because it's seldom a case where the entire page is totally heinous hahaha maybe most but seldom all. Love that cup BTW 🤗

[@123craftygal]

Well Done! One of my biggest regrets is selling off too many of my holiday stamps and punches😕😕. So your template will come in handy! Love seeing your videos in the morning.

[@iartistdotme]

One of my favorite videos that you do - cause who doesn't have a stack of pretty paper they just can't throw away - and CCMidas works her magic and creates gorgeous, useful cards. Poof - Magic happens!

[@creationsceecee]

LOL thanks and have wonderful and creative day!

[@lynnwayne6132]

Awesome! These cards are amazing. Thank you.

[@cathymorrison22]

Cool! I'd have never thought to use a magic eraser and water to wipe off color in a painting. May have to give it a try.

[@jaxketpocket7147]

I am unabashedly in love your technique, style and colours choices! Your work is so inspiring and georgous! Just wanted to mention that :) and to say thank you for sharing with us!

[@stevieb9235]
