I love the second background and I appreciate you left the footage of the first one. You are very generous as a teacher! Thanks a lot!

Stunning end result ❤️

[@KarenBurchill]

Thank you! 😊 Pink is in my wheelhouse...but such a neutral background is not. K

[@brendapcmt]

❤️ just discovered your channel and love it... I’ll be spending a good deal of time here...the stencil looked like a trellis I thought. I loved them both!

[@KarenBurchill]

So glad you found me and are enjoying my videos. This piece ended up being a wedding gift for a friend. She loved it .K

[@4711Dorothea]

lovely piece. I remember painting flowers when I did folk art many years ago, it has come in handy with the move to mixed media. I enjoy watching your process . Thank you for sharing your creativity with us.

[@KarenBurchill]

I never learned the one stroke method of painting flowers.....but my years doing folk art has transfered definitely. K

[@pennydouphinett4545]

Gorgeous, love the 2nd one. Cringed when you put the black on the first background! I have some rice papers from Ninny's, hate the thought of ripping them up, beautiful as they are, but no fun in that. Thanks as always!

[@KarenBurchill]

LOL ....you don't know unless you try....YES no fun in keeping them as they are....K

[@adelegiomo8614]

Brava

[@KarenBurchill]

thank you

[@joancross5361]

Beautiful! I’ve always been afraid to try highlighting my napkins but I’m gonna practice. Thanks for sharing your art🌺🌸💖

[@KarenBurchill]

YES practice...you can start by doing a wash of color then doing it the globby way I did here....pick a napkin you have lots of and just practice till you get comfortable. K

[@betsymcghee8915]

I love hoe you used the napkin to make your own pretty paper!

[@KarenBurchill]

I am swimming in the white layers so it's good to use them. They are more fragile than tissue paper, but they decoupage down more transluscent . K

[@sandycarroll3198]

I really like the lighter background. Beautiful work.❤✌

[@KarenBurchill]

Thank you....Happy creating. K

[@ronimilich999]

SOOOO pretty!!! When you say thick gesso, what brand and is it called thick gesso?

[@KarenBurchill]

Thank you. My " thick gesso" is an art store economy gesso ( OPUS in Canada ) that has thickened over time. You can buy thick or extra thick gesso....There are a variety of brands just search for thick gesso.....I have not tried any ...I just keep buying this one, putting it into smaller container and loving how it thickens.
