Layered Metallic Watercolor + "Hand Drawn" Accents

[@barbaracilley8200]

That card should be framed. No words necessary. I had no idea what you were doing but I am in awe. It so beautiful.

[@lindaedwards3377]

Kristina, a tip for keeping gel pens from drying out. If you've noticed that the pens work great when you first get them, but some end up drying out quickly. It's because the pens come with that tiny piece of wax covering the tip; save that and put it back on the tip when you're finished. If you lose it, a tiny bit of polymer clay do the trick.

[@sherylosullivan9619]

Six little works of art. Gorgeous.

[@summer5851]

Kristina this card is so beautiful. Your creativeness just astound me. You are such an amazing artist, and YOU never, never disappoint. Great tips. Always inspire me.

[@dianeoneil9563]

Thanks for the light touch tip with gel pens, especially the white pen. Have mostly been using gold only and sometimes silver because I could never get the white one to work.

[@susanvanschuyver7900]

I love the little squares idea. It is a gorgeous card.

[@penelopepan2677]

I’m obsessed with your arts

[@mpbailey18]

Lovely card but WAY above this stamper's abilities....starting with making all those perfect squares! It was fun watching the process...

[@rosethorne7973]

Same. I can't draw a straight line with a ruler! I'm getting out my square dies instead and raise one of those squares with foam pads. It is a lovely card though.

[@tiiug.9973]

LOVE this card! Lots of steps but so do-able. Thanks so much and I hope you continue to make these watercolor cards. They're fabulous!

[@Renee292929]

It came out pretty. I even liked it with the purple ink stamped.

[@katiemclaneak5182]

Still awesome tutorial…still a beautiful and inspiring card!

[@kerrinbeacham6917]

Hi Kristina! Wow, I loved this card so much, I just had to give it a go! I used different paints (Kuretake) as I don't have the the new ones you are using but the results were really good. I also used different stamps & card stock. There were a few "issues" along the way but I worked around them, ah the joy of card crafting! It truely was a lovely journey and I was really pleased with the end result. I Sent it to my neice for her birthday. I've learned a lot from you over the years over here in the UK, thank you so much for sharing your talent and giving me (& everyone else) such a wonderful gift. Xxxxx

Lovely soft colours

[@miroslavakral]

I want to thank you for inspiring me to take on watercolor painting. I never believed I could be a painter and express creativity that way, but you inspired me to try again and I can say that I absolutely love it. And I've been able to pass on that love to my daughter. So thank you!

[@judyhartmann3071]

Beautiful card design! I really love watching you watercolor! It’s so relaxing and inspiring to me! Thank you for sharing.

[@leenewton5872]

I feel like I'm seeing this at an art gallery... Exquisite.

[@paulienhendrikx6847]

Wonderful result👍🎨

[@rebeccah1635]

Love this sweet card! So pretty!

[@slyseyes]

I love the colors in this card. And, I'm always amazed to watch you draw perfectly straight lines. I've also watched you draw perfect circles on other videos. I'm sure that took a bit of practice, but it's still fun to watch.

[@leeminer1939]

Gorgeous. Suitable for framing!

[@juliegawthorpe5974]

Stunning card and technique Kristina, love it.

[@RosyRosie42]

I clicked on my notification, so without seeing a thumbnail or an intro, I had no idea where this card was going. It’s soooo pretty!!! 💕💜

[@lisaainscough2465]

So agree with you here, the card is gorgeous💜 Really enjoyed watching you create today. A big yes to this type of card video, so please make this a new series. Cheers Lisa

[@jeanwest-ackroyd3908]

Fabulous card, Kristina. Great to see how you did this, so pretty and light. Thanks for sharing.

[@bdbear10]

Very, very pretty!

[@jadebez]

Thank you for the gelly roll tip.

[@krmttlr]

Great card! The gold really added that special touch. Thanks for sharing.

[@susanyee1]

I really love watching you paint/create. You're a great instructor.

[@yvonnehusic9879]

I love this! Gorgeous!

[@wendywatt1285]

Learned so much and so beautiful! I have not played with watercolors YET! This video sure makes me want to💜💜

[@wordscrafter]

Oooooooohhhhhhh, this is so, so pretty! I am awful, lol, with watercolor, but these small spaces.....I will try that! Just beautiful......

[@lissafry3963]

Simply stunning, Kristina! I never really thought past the watercolour process but the stamping and detail really gave the ‘wow factor’. Thanks so much!

[@marilenigarcia6626]

It is very pretty

[@susanvanschuyver7900]

Beautiful card.

[@debbieduran6791]

[@amyt6254]

Wow! Stunning card! So happy to now know why I can never get geli roll pens to work.

[@Kirby-yb3ib]

So beautiful! 🎨❤️👍✨

[@robynrosenau5986]

I ❤️ watching you watercolor! I’m loving the gold!

[@lisamoline7474]

Absolutely gorgeous card Kristina! I love the metallic paint for an accent! Also love the tip about taping off the glue before putting the pieces together! I definitely need to remember that!

[@leenewton5872]

yup, absolutely gorgeous!

[@sharonpott4253]

That’s so pretty xx

Absolutely stunning card, beautiful colour choice, love the gold touch. I'm going to have a play this afternoon! TYFS

[@barbarabass4235]

Simply gorgeous!

[@janeastwick1418]

I love this technique! Just beautiful! Thank you!

[@kristinevencel2898]

Beautiful design!...as always. Love watching your creative process. Question.......why not just stamp with white ink instead of purple and then gel pen on top?

[@kwernerdesign]

You could do that. I just didn't have a white ink handy.

[@kristinevencel2898]

Thank you for replying. Ok, I get it. I just thought there was some special trick I was missing. This old brain does that to me sometimes. Lol

[@vickicervantes1817]

I have found when I do that with stamping ink first than the white gel pen, it let's just a little glamour of the ink that's under the white gel pen come through almost like if it's a sheer curtain🥰❣. Some of the middle to dark colors of ink that's under the gel pen are really quite beautiful. I have loved art my whole life, because it's such an interesting and magical experience just waiting for the explosion of Beautiful art coming to life.🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❣ Like painting wet on wet that's like Christmas just waiting for it to dry😊❤❣

[@Savyakala_by_Asha]

Amazing card

[@renaewolford3270]

beautiful card; love how u did it! thx for sharing your talent!

[@susanb5058]

This is gorgeous!!!

[@stacieswanner7974]

So pretty!

[@kellyphillips8913]

Love it! Thank you for the tips on gelly roll pens!

[@apoorvasuman892]

Tried this and turned out pretty 😍 Thanks !

[@robinleonard8862]

that is such a beautiful effect! Thanks for sharing!

[@marajade8754]

So amazed at how you can draw straight lines free hand. I can’t even do it with a ruler. Lol.

[@slyseyes]

She can also freehand a perfect circle. I find that amazing also!

[@janicerepass6996]

Beautiful!! I loved the way this looked each step of the way. The watercolors prior to the gold looked beautiful! The gold was a great addition! LOVED the purple stamping! How do you ever know when you've done just enough vs going too far?

[@lifewithterri7558]

Love Love Love Love it, you always amaze me. great job

[@anitatrippi7072]

Just beautiful!

[@virginiadugan558]

This is the most beautiful card! I took your Simply Watercolor class and with a few changes it could be made in that style. I am however trying to find an easier way to create the boxes, I would end up using a whole roll of tape.

[@marydoak6181]

Thanks for sharing this technique with us today. I love it!

[@9liveslisa]

I was wondering why you took the time to do the stamping when you painted over the top with white ink. Seems like it would have been easier to just draw the simple designs with the gelly roll pen. Other than that, it is a great design. Thanks for sharing.

[@anniefaint6373]

A very pretty card, loved it,,,.xxxx 🌸🌺💕🦋

[@Cocobird5]

That's beautiful!

[@sfgcardsandcraft4571]

Great card as always, but why didn't you use white stamping ink instead of the pen? Regards Liz

[@bekind3509]

You always do such beautiful cards. I appreciate the great tutorial on how to, easy to understand. Thank you.

[@Cards4Cancer]

What a beautiful card. Thanks for sharing

[@mariapeters2638]

Love this! The result worth the effort ❤️❤️❤️

[@triciapodmore3866]

Absolutely amazing and inspiring. So appreciate your tutorials and tips. Thank you

[@wendy8184]

Fantastic card! I can’t draw a straight line nor can I cut a straight line....nice watching you doing it

[@brendacasper9266]

Such a beautiful card! Thank you so much for the inspiration Kristina!

[@deejcarter2003]

I love how this turned out💕💕

[@mrscms831]

Lovely, you always give me something to aspire to.

[@barbarachmura2695]

Lovely card!

[@TheSwissy4me]

I love this. I do have a question. Do you think a pigment white ink pad would work--what do you think?

[@b.a.blessingstitcher]

Stunning Kristina! Loved the video but you have mad skills with that gel pen. :). Hugs

[@nelliconcepcion6479]

I wonder if you can use a white out pen

[@raeraesma]

It's lovely! 💗

[@julielynn86]

Beautiful Kristina!

[@mariskaritfeld]

Stunning design! Love it! But I don’t understand why the purple colors for flowers and then white gel pen to cover it?

[@kwernerdesign]

I was showing a way to get hand drawn elements without having to start completely from scratch.

[@designedbyfaiza6668]

Stunnig card.really nice and simple Just a question please. Would you be able to have the same affect as jelly roll impressions if you stamp with white pigmant ink?

[@kwernerdesign]

The white ink won't be solid enough. (At least in my experience). Add white embossing powder to it, and it will be more solid.

[@mayloo2137]

Really pretty with the addition of gold, and shimmery too. Nice touch. i wish I had a gold paint like yours. That's what I'm missing - gold metallic paint. Or is that the pearlescent paint?

[@stewartsa1]

Lovely card. Would white pigment ink work instead of a gel pen?

[@created2bless322]

A masterpiece 🌻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@TheGuild24]

I absolutely love your work. fall in. 💝💝💝😍😍😍😍😍😍🙋‍♀️😍

[@rebeccawong1]

I love it. Thank 🎈

[@debbiesanderson9466]

Can you tell me the best masking tape to use? I struggle with it ripping my paper

[@lizalada1914]

Could you use an opaque white ink pad instead of the jelly pen?

[@kwernerdesign]

The white ink won't be solid enough. (At least in my experience). Add white embossing powder to it, and it will be more solid.

[@mariehoney31]

So pretty! Although, now you need to make another one using just the purple. Lol

[@florencesmith4142]

Very interesting the way you did this design. It came out really great. Not sure what I was expecting but I love the card. TFS. Hope you have a great 4th of July.

[@MrTarot1975]

Beautiful card as always. Thanks for sharing
