You have such a good artistic eye Christine.. You know how well shapes, color, contrast, highlight and shadow (and balancing it all) makes for a more realistic effect. You have all the right qualities for other art media. It takes a long time to master this. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful card Chrissie, loved all your little tips and tricks. That vase came out beautiful. I need to keep in mind to use some embossing with my texture stamps, it makes such a huge difference. I have to laugh at some of our sayings too, and hot mess is one of them. But then I love hearing your sayings, especially the "a pigs supper", it makes me chuckle each time. So fun! LOL Hugs, Brenda

Many months ago you made a comment that when you view videos on other channels you sometimes forget to hit the like button. I have been thinking a great deal about the ratio between the number of views that you get on your channel versus the number of likes that you get on any particular video. It is my habit when I open a new video to immediately hit the like button. If I find along the way that I actually do not like a video for some reason, I go out and hit the like button again to remove that sentiment, then I exit the video. I not only think hitting like is appropriate, I think it is a payment for the wealth of information we receive, as well as actually a due reward for the maker of the videos.

[@Chrissieannie]

This is so helpful, it’s easy to hit the like button, but even easier to forget! If we could all get into the habit of hitting it when we start the video it would be so much more beneficial and as you so rightly say you can reverse the decision if required! Thanks for your input!😊😊😊

You are such an amazing teacher. I always learn new things, some large and some small, from every video I watch. When you were sharing the ‘hot mess’ comment I realized one of the most important lessons I’ve learned; don’t throw away work because it’s not quite right but keep working with it till it is right. Your vase in this video is a perfect example of trusting your instincts and ending up with something absolutely stunning. Wishing you well from Union Bridge, Maryland.

[@Chrissieannie]

Wow, thank you! That’s really kind. I think things go wrong quite often and sometimes you can do a rescue but there is the occasion when it’s easier to just start again!🤣🤣🤣

[@MargaretKerr-sr1il]

You never cease to amaze me! When I first saw you using the embossing tool I had to order one, so clever. When you were struggling to get that sixth flower in I was reminded what my daughter taught me when she was working for a florist, they work with odd numbers so five would have been perfectly fine. I am retired and can watch you any time of the day, every day but my stamping girl friend still works but has no computer at home so I often forward your projects to her during the day so she can luckily watch you on her work computer. And, the vase is a work of art. Blessings, Peggy in Maryland
