Watercolor Peonies - Make a Card Monday

[@johnrichard2385]

Hi Kristina! So very glad that you are bringing back Make a Card Monday’s! I really love the color scheme for these Peonies! Peonies are one of my very favorite flowers of all time! I am so in love with these kind of sunset 🌅 colors that are being introduced lately. This card and envelope set is absolutely stunning, Kristina. I know you said this was an easy card, to me it is absolutely lovely! Anyone would be proud to receive it for any occasion! Thank you for the inspiration! ~😺Katz

[@summer5851]

Yaaay Make it Monday card is back! FAN-TASTIC. Love the beautiful card and envelope Kristina.! Thanks SO much.

[@suzannebeyer5369]

Your soft romantic floral card and envelope sets are my absolute favorite. You have a special eye for that type of look! These are so beautiful!

[@dorisjaksic1660]

Kristina, I have watched you for years and picked up so MANY good tips...but I believe this is my very FAVORITE card--The colors and design go so well together. It is gorgeous!!!

[@kimbrahuber7048]

Love the videos in real-time. Never really cared for voice overs but seems like that is what everyone is doing now. Glad to see you doing this again 💖💖💖

[@mslmh47]

Kristina, you have an amazing gift with watercolors! Beautiful card and envelope!

[@Savyakala_by_Asha]

So glad that make it monday card are back.it is so gorgeous to receive the card and envelope

[@aimmefl]

It's definitely how I found you and the videos used to make Monday's so much better. Glad you are trying it again, even if only for a little while. :)

[@judysander2684]

Make a card Monday was exactly what I liked about your teaching as well. I asked you a while back when I didn't see your videos, but didn't know what to call it, just knew that they weren't there anymore. This is a beauty for sure! Yea! Thanks much!

[@jennpeters9010]

Great to have this series back. Beautiful

[@julielynn86]

I am so delighted! No voice over!!! Make a Card Monday's back! Yay!!!!!! I've been otherwise occupied for ages, but have access to my art supplies and can create again. Yay. Okay, back to the video. . . PS. There are those of us who really love the sounds of creating as it's going down.....awesome.ness. :-)

[@jo-annepikebrintrup1500]

Beautiful card and envelope, Kristina!!! I love to watch you watercolor! Great tips about coloring, envelope making and using the water brush for the stamps!! Thanks for the continued inspiration!! xoxo Jo-Anne

[@lechat8736]

Dear Kristina, I really, really enjoyed this video. The card and envelope are very beautiful but it`s not only that. I think a voiceover takes so much of the authenticity away and it is so much more enjoyable to watch and listen to you "in real time". Thank you so very much. Sunny greetings from Slovenia, Josi

[@juliez1539]

This is an old video (an oldie but goodie!), but I just found it today. I love it! Thank you, Kristina!

[@judymathena2981]

I really love to watch you paint, and the way you make your envelopes, are so Pretty, thanks for sharing. I love how this turned out.

[@suzettedorning9113]

I LOVE your watercoloring! I tend to overwork my projects, so it's so nice to see your free-flowing method. Goals! Beautiful, beautiful card and envelope!! Thanks for sharing "real-time". I wondered what that heat gun sounded like. Now I have an idea! Thank you for sharing your talents!

[@AllisonCopeDesigns]

So great to see this feature come back in your repertoire! Stunning card and envelope!

[@teresadoyle1396]

WOW Kristina, how gorgeous is this envelope. I am definitely going to practice the under painting when water colouring, simply stunning.

[@Sylvianal]

So happy for Make a Card Monday. That is the way I found you too!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@joannep8983]

I just love Make a Card Monday! Keep them coming!

[@ahreftasha]

Glad to see make a card Monday back

[@anitalewis841]

I love this card, in particular because you also did the envelope. just makes me happy to look at it,thank you

[@lauriec.4283]

YES!!!!! Than you for bringing Make It Monday back! I hope to hear your kitties in the background just like the “old days” with Mannie ❤️

[@sistersun1954]

OOH! MACM RETURNS! Initially, I thought KZbin had dug up a video from the way, way back for my daily recommendations. Yes, I'm one of those viewers whose first exposure to card making videos were those authored by YOU and were REALTIME, and wonderful, and yes, seemingly a million years ago. Glad to see this again, Kristina. And I miss seeing your cats...

[@ronniepearce4438]

Yep make a card Monday is how i found you. So glad you are bringing them back. Thanks

[@macCALICOmac]

Yeees throwback to the real good old days 💞💞💞💞 love it

[@eleonoraleopardi2465]

I never realised I missed the "organic" feel of the Make a Card Monday until I got back to it, and it's so wholesome. Amazing work Kristina, please keep them up!!!

[@blingmeblingme101]

Always so lovely to see your work in action. I do enjoy this style of your videos....just like the old days. You make everything look so easy, I know when I try this it will just become a hot mess.

[@Taitcreates639]

Love the detail in this video, very helpful. I have 3 cats that bug me every time I’m in my craft room, they scratch on the door until I let them in. Am in love with Peonies this year. I just planted a couple bulbs. The smell is invigorating. Great choice in flowers Kristina. Tyfs. Luv n hugs!

[@lauralong]

Thank you for sharing watercolor!!! I love to dapple, but still find I make it more a production than it needs to be. You make it so simple and easy!! I'd live to see more watercolor videos, please. 😃 The envelope background is so soft, but still very colorful. Thank you for NOT giving specific color names so I won't have any inkling to find that exact color, but instead use my own and make the card with my own style/twist/materials.

[@msanna9365]

Why the 30 thumbs down? This is a piece of art. Absolutely amazing. What’s wrong with people?

[@dww786]

You handled "unscripted live" again like a boss! Some newer viewers may not realize that you were one of, if not the prime, originator/s of these card-making videos that we so enjoy---thank you for that! :o)

[@flurryofshortlimbs]

I really love the "real time" card making! Very relatable and authentic. I enjoy hearing the sounds of creativity - peeling acetate, heat gun, etc., too.

[@suestoons]

I agree. It also shows how artists adapt and change their intent when the arting is "live".

[@jessm6711]

@kristenkolenz I couldn't agree more! It makes you feel like you're right there too. Love hearing all the crafting sounds. I do miss these "real time" videos. Thanks for sharing this type of video, they're the best kind @kwernerdesigns

[@lindaeastment4542]

Hi Kristina 👋 really beautiful card & envelope loved the colour combination I love all your different tutorials u post on u tube ☺️ but my personal favorites are the watercolor tutorials I have been watercolor painting for only a few months I love it & find it very relaxing so the more tips you can share the better thank you so much for taking the time to share......all the best Lin in South Wales uk 🦋🐕x

[@lisad.3247]

I love the colors you used on the card and envelope Kristina! Patricia is a lucky lady! ; )

[@suestoons]

You make the watercolouring look so easy! I'm going to have to attempt this process again. I do love how the embossing makes little lake areas so you can play with colour concentrations.

[@michelleeaton5876]

Glad to see you back!! The card is gorgeous!!!

[@KatesCraftyCloset]

Really love the real time videos . Love watercoloring .

[@CatAlkirePhotography]

[@lornawilburn3605]

Gorgeous card and envelope! Thank you for this wonderful demonstration; I learned so much from you in this video. I want to try to replicate your techniques and surprise my mother-in-law 💖

[@DanaJoy]

I love everything about this car and envelope. The softness is soo pretty Kristina. I’ve been eyeing that punch board for some time now so I’m going to add it to my shopping list.

[@susanhamilton1822]

So happy to see such a beautiful envelope. I've been stamping mine lately but never thought to do them with water colour paper. That takes it to a whole new level. Lovely, lovely! I don't know who invented embossing powder but I would like to kiss him/her. :)

[@LindaCrowder10021950]

Love this style of making your videos. And I really enjoyed this tutorial. I am ordering the stamp so I can play, too. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@kattucker7791]

That envelope is soooooo beautiful!

[@lindalambert331]

Yes!!!!! A no-voiceover video. While I enjoy all of your videos, sometimes it is nice to see the real time making of a card or project. Also, the sound is different; somehow more inviting.

[@kathymackowick1377]

I love watching you watercolor and lettering. I sure wish you were teaching lettering at Junkie Fest 2019. Hopefully next year that will fit into your calendar. Beautiful card - thanks for sharing.

[@vernalapp2306]

Always A Pleasure Kristina! This is how I found you & became a card maker also because of your make a card Monday! Tfs & looking forward to more! ❤😘

[@pamlitzinger1555]

So soft and lovely I enjoyed your water coloring techniques!

[@joiedefi]

So beautiful to watch. I'm currently addicted to using watercolours in my art and junk journals. I just painted stamped peonies with delicate periwinkle blue in a Journal spread. I can't tell you how satisfying it was. Love your channel. 💜Joie 🌿

[@kwernerdesign]

That sounds gorgeous! :)

[@nurseratchet8566]

Beautiful card and envelope 💖🌹💖

[@yvonnemosley7926]

Lovely card, you make watercolouring look so effortless.

[@kennyfry3421]

Okay, know I'm late to the game here, but: love, Love, LOVE this video, Kristina!!! Yes, there were edits/jump cuts; yes, there were music breaks - don't have a problem with any of that - as Kristen Kolenz comments below, "I really love the 'real time' card making." Kristen's comment (and others) sums up my thoughts perfectly: there is nothing as engaging, immersive and inspiring as "real time" card making... :o) It's something about the creator's voice in real time - for me, it's a connection I can't quite put words around... ...and when a creator does on-camera intros and sign-offs: WOW!!! Admittedly, I'm hooked... You Know I think you're amazing... HUGZ!!! :-P

[@adj822]

Gorgeous! I just love the color palette you used. Hooray for Make a card Monday! [insert happy dance!] I'm so glad you're doing this again. Enjoyed it! 💜💜

[@sylriveraflo]

Beautiful card and envelope! I enjoyed watching you create real time.I look forward to watching more videos like this one.
