Bringing THIS Back From The Brink.....

[@bevp7838]

I wasn’t a fan of the tree initially, but I love that you left it (and the fix) in the video. And since I make a lot of mistakes, or because I don’t love the way something turns out, having options for fixes is VERY useful! Thanks for keeping it real! (It might be fun to compile a “messes and fixes” video!)

[@noreenmulder5255]

Hi Natasha. I love both cards. I am a huge tree fan. Your tree "save" was brilliantly done. TFS all your fab videos. I always look forward to them. 💙🤗🌲

[@wendy8184]

The tree card turned out great didnt it!! And the baby card is so cool too.

[@ajhudson2669]

Thanks for sharing Tash 🤗 and for making us feel ok that stuff doesn’t always start off brilliantly but turns out great in the end 💙 I love, love , love the Boy Baby heart card 🎉x🤗

[@kizzmaya]

😮😮😮WOW! Two beautiful cards! I love both cards. Thank you for sharing. I can’t wait to try💜

[@cathyferguson570]

Hey there, I think it was the yellow in the tree throwing you off. Jarring against the dark blue. Adore the heart one. Well done. Glad you managed to fix the tree. But the clean and simple heart is my fave. Love your work. 🖤🖤🖤

[@ellen-marie6692]

Beautiful! In agreement with some comments I’ve read - the rescuing fixes definitely elevated your tree card & the embossed stamp sentiment added extra beauty! Your heart card is of course gorgeous, too! 🙂

[@maxinethomas9380]

Oh goodness me. I never thought that tree card could have been saved! Good job. I would have binned it. 😊 Thoroughly enjoy your tutorials over my morning coffee every second day. 💕

[@vickiburow7560]

I thought the tree card looked rather flat or two dimensional, so I really enjoyed how you brought it to life, so to speak. It’s nice to see how real card designers struggle with this too, lol. ❤

[@gerrieriihimaki6446]

I really appreciate your “card rescues”. Some of my favorite cards end of being my rescues.😅 ❤️

[@helenastanser9801]

I love both of the cards! One idea was to maybe prepare several heart/tree masked cardbases and use the leftover paint on them.😍

[@kirriesummers5219]

I love the process you used to begin with. I've never done the ink scraping and love the look. I can see it is useful for many situations and shapes. The tree at first was too yellow. None of our millions of evergreen look like that. Then you added the sky and wow!! That tree pops and the card is beautiful. I see and understand your use of the yellow. Thank you for "saving" this beauty. 🥰🇨🇦🥰

[@oldmedtech]

Great transition with tree!!!! Went from yuk to yum!!!😂❤

[@carolloe2188]

Love the heart card. And your rescue “from the brink” of the tree card is genius. It’s fun to see what you do to rescue cards that don’t turn out the way you originally envisioned! TYFS Natasha! ❤❤❤

[@Louisianagirl_1126]

Kelly Taylor is a card making influencer in the United States and she says to “never” give up on a card no matter how bad you may think it is, there is ALWAYS a save. This card is a perfect example of that belief. The card turned out GREAT!!!! TYFS.

[@cathygrant6838]

The edging of the tree made a big difference 🤗🤗🤗thank you for sharing!

[@theresaz2023]

Appreciate that you show us the “not so great tries” as well as the successes. Both turned out great!

[@virginiamahon2863]

You constantly amaze with how clever you are! The card turned out great! Both are pretty.

[@qtem1]

What great ideas and techniques ! I love the way that you mask & the the paint dots. It’s so gorgeous ! 😊

[@janetingacollins6409]

I think you rescued card looks 🤩 and the heart card is awesome! Yea 👏 on both!!

[@emmyploeger512]

I love both cards. I like most of the cards you make, because you always give me the idea that I can make them too😀

[@bethhedegaard1389]

You always do a great creative job on your cards. I thought your ideas for the save were on point and made the tree stand out much more. Loved both of the cards. Will have to try this on some cards. Thank you for sharing your ideas.😊

[@sue5560]

That card is amazing! You did a great save! Thanks for showing the whole process Natasha!

[@gaudetdarlene2381]

Loved both,the white boarder around the tree made it stand out and your fix made it stand out in a different way. Both ways work 😊

[@pamkershaw320]

I like both cards Natasha, love how you have defined the tree on the second one. Thank you.xx

[@mangobaby2]

I love that they’re both so unique and whoever gets those cards is going to absolutely love them

[@nancycrutchfield117]

You are so amazingly talented how you just do random things and they turn out so great! Wish I had an ounce of your art talent! Anyway both heart and tree cards are great. TFS

[@tquallen]

You totally saved that tree card! Love it!

[@cindy8635]

The outline on the tree definitely saved the card. It turned out quite nice

[@janedgcomb4348]

i adore the heart. you saved the tree, but since you asked for our opinions, i think the sentiment is too big. i very much appreciate your showing every step of your process. thank you for sharing your talents with us!

[@clarellechevallier-siclait2507]

Such a creative use of paints and die cuts! Thanks for sharing, Natasha.

[@kellyjoskreations]

You saved it!!! I love these cards and this technique. The heart card is my favorite😻

[@ScrappyMim]

I love both cards. I would have not done such a bright embossed greeting on the tree card. The paint swipe is so unusual I am going to have to give it a try.

[@karenyoung58]

From blah to AHHHH! The tree turned out incredibly.

[@feliciashaw4708]

Ok, I was a little worried about the tree, and I remembered to trust your process and you knocked it out of the park! The heart turned out perfect.

[@sandimcdowall8711]

I loved how you rescued the tree card, you have so many great tips, thank you!

[@conniescraft5617]

I really like how the tree card turned out…. And how you fixed it was really using your head…I like that.

[@kittymauger7041]

I think you did it! I love how you just kept working it and it turned out great. I especially love the heart card and this technique. I watched the other video you did with the paint swiping and loved it as well. Now, I just need to get busy and try it!

[@created2bless322]

These are cool and your tree with the winter scene is beautiful! I like how you added the shadows to the tree and edge of the card!

[@pinkmosquito22]

Like you, I wasn't so sure on the tree card. I definitely didn't hate it, I just wasn't sure that I loved it, but then... you did your magic as usual and it looks great! Thanks for sharing it with us! I think a video of the cards you "set aside" would be cool to see if you ever feel like sharing those 😊

[@ruthkimber2487]

I love how you made these cards Natasha..thank you.

[@triciakaplan5201]

I love how you rescued that card. I agree that the tree needed some definition around the edges. The card is stunning now! I love that paint-swiping! It’s so beautiful!

[@deborahcoram6793]

I like the tree better after your fix. Very artsy looking. 😊

[@victoriaparis2791]

Good save on the tree. This was a unique video. I love your voice and I truly enjoyed watching you.

[@FlowerGemsGirl]

I love how you brought this back from the brink!! I wondered how you were gonna fix that white outline around the tree. I have a small set of the Pitt markers but they are skinny like the ones you list in supplies. But I never knew they would work on top of the matte medium like that! Wahoo, I’ll have to get me some more colors! 🤗 I also ordered a few of the Diane Wakley paint, you were right there too, the small nozzle is way easier for control than the larger bottles of standard paint. The colors are very nice too. I’ll have to look for that night sky color. I do lots of landscape type cards with night scenes, I usually just do blending. But it’s harder for a good dark winter sky. Again, love how these cards turned out! ❤

[@anaraposo522]

Your card is very pretty and I love all the colors you chose. Thank you for sharing.

[@arlenekrause7115]

Love the tree card! I appreciate you showing how you take a “blah” card and make it extraordinary!

[@pattyfromherz9965]

I so agree with Bev P, and thank you for taking time out of your day to share, the cards are really cute!i think it is a real cute idea for your christmas tree, and i like the way you used your glue to seal it.

[@annanipper5726]

Loved the heart. The tree makes you stop and look. That is after all the goal of art.

[@debraadams6482]

You are brilliant! The tree was iffy, but you saved it. Glad you let us see the recovery process.

[@laurapugh6373]

Great save with the tree! I wasn't sure to start with if I liked it or not, but it turned out lovely. Also, it may just be my tired eyes, but the heart looks 3D, love it 💕

[@tracis.1691]

Hello Natasha! I love your heart shaped, paint swiped, baby card! The colors are wonderful. I wasn't completely loving the tree card when you paused...I think it is pretty now. I especially like the background. Perhaps if you swiped the paint in a wide "C" shape it would have the lines of the different boughs? Just an idea! I love your creativity!

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Hi Natasha, both cards are great but I actually prefer the tree after you altered it. Have a great day. 😊🇨🇦

[@maryswartzel2773]

What a wonderful save. It inspires me to keep trying and not tops the ‘mistakes’ Thanks so much ♥️

[@michelegourd5742]

Natasha, what an awesome idea!! You are so creative!!

[@breeabell4365]

I loved your night sky .. it turned out great!! & good save!! 👍

[@karenfletcher4749]

Love the heart card in particular. Very effective and really easy 💙💚

[@deballen7031]

Hi. I really like the 'mask, dot and drag' idea, great results. The heart card was simple and sweet. I wasn't too sure about the tree card, a little too much yellow and not quite enough green but I really did like that night sky effect so it was starting to grow on me. Let's just say no-one need look into a crystal ball to know what I'll be doing over the next few days! Thank you for another of your video gems, full of inspiration and fun to watch.

[@tjyb1502]

Your instincts were correct, you elevated that tree and the card turned out wonderfully. It has an illustrated feel I really like! Sometimes our best creations come out of "mistakes"!! 🤗

[@brendabakker1299]

At first, the tree card wasn’t a favorite but you rescued it beautifully!

[@shellylowery7623]

I think your rescue of the tree was great. Lesson learned about not giving up on a card.

[@jodimunoz4780]

Both cards turned out great! I actually didn’t like the tree at first, but total save! Love it! Can’t tell you how many times I have to lay something aside and come back to it later with a rescue plan.

[@lauramartin7300]

Agree with you on the tree. Do like the fix outcome. Glad you kept it in the video on how you saved it. We all have things we don't like and throw them out or just set aside.From now on, if I really don't like one,I'll play around with it.a masterpiece may appear. Lol Have to try this too. Thanks for sharing,always learning from you. Have a great day.

[@hazelsinger2638]

Loved the idea and both cards. Thank you for sharing.

[@rebeccahenson5328]

Love the heart. You sort of redeemed the tree. Sort of. We all have those days. It looked a lot better once you mounted it onto a card. Something about that border. I admire you for keeping on. Me, when I do stuff like that it gets put into the strip card pile. I find when I cut them into one inch strips, nobody knows how bad I messed up. Sometimes I try to save them,tho.

[@shirleydesrochers3319]

I think the cards turned out really cute!

[@annekeschep8148]

Amazing, with the same technique such different results. I actually like the card with the tree best. I hope you do another video with paint techniques some day. Thanks 👍

[@dawnmulder3540]

I live watching you saving cards! The tree looks great!

[@jacquiposener7262]

Loved the video Natasha and the way you showed us how to rescue a card. I’m not so crazy about the tree. I think it looks really modern and the background is more traditional so for me they clash a bit. I love to give this a go.. thanks for sharing.

[@kimwakeman2630]

Stunning cards! Thank you for sharing and the inspiration

[@paxi37]

Great video. And great save. It definitely brought the card back for sure

[@renatenash7575]

Both cards are gorgeous but I really love the tree one.

[@paularutter6654]

Love the way you brought the card back from the brink x

[@Franclin58]

A fun technique. It’s great to see how you brought it back. I love the final results. Thanks for your videos, I am.learning so much.

[@loke-art7383]

Wow, another amanzing cards 🥰

[@charlottethien3749]

Both cards look very nice ❣️

[@f.joclemmons5799]

I think you saved the card! Good to have those little tips to help.

[@susansmith255]

The tree turned out great. I really like its conclusion.

[@juliehardy7510]

You saved it 🥰 I did prefer the tree without the night sky. Obviously the heart was the best 😘

[@Gloria_Davis]

I love the tree scene especially the background. I have bought my first bottles of acrylic paint and want to try this with shapes.

[@teresafarrington7008]

Beautiful cards!! ❤️

[@mrspickle8285]

Love the heart card, did not like the tree one till the end ..... you really did save it... Looks fabulous thanks for showing your whole process (bumps in the road and all).....

[@itsapat]

I love the tree card. I especially love the night sky. I'm going to have to give that technique a try.

[@cmcarpenter123cardsandthings]

Love both cards. You really saved the tree one xx

[@Jillehenn]

Great rescue ☺️. Turned out great!

[@lauradavey9467]

wasn't to sure about the tree but ended up liking it you did a great job thanks for sharing take care stay safe

[@dinabaughman8731]

LOVE this idea!!I'm going to try the tree.😍😍

[@tammyhenderson4565]

I can't believe you thought about tossing that card! I thought it was just fine and didn't even notice the white boarder. I'm still trying to decide which one I like best, the before or after tree. Thanks for all you do!!

[@dianeboling4558]

Love this technique! Very pretty cards😊

[@4BarbaraJ]

Beautiful save. I had completely forgotten about the india inks smudging. I used to do that with mixed media canvases. Beautiful cards.

[@allisonjames2923]

Loved the tree, but did think the busy two tone background is what sent it awry. Definitely looks loads better after your inking on the edges, but personally, I would have darkened the whole sky & just had one colour in the sky with some white stars to allow that gorgeous tree to stand out. Great to see how effective the paint swipe technique is with masking shapes too. Thank you 😊

[@michiganderintexas]

Agree on tree but you fixed it and that’s what is great- you show us oops and then the fix/change. The swipe technique is so versatile. Interesting you were able to emboss over the matte medium. Didn’t know that was possible

[@rhondita95]

I think these both came out great, Natasha!

[@robinbecker9222]

Love both cards and great save on the tree

[@melissazabower339]

I like the tree -- both before and after. I wouldn't have used yellow, though. It seems discordant to me, but that's just me. And I love the sky! ❤️

[@Corvidae65]

The tree looked great when you finished. You always gave great ideas to save cards from the trash. Thank you for always sharing with us. Audra

[@christieoertel1589]

Like the idea a lot, the heart has given me some ideas. Thx Tash

[@charlottesilber1687]

I always enjoy your videos, the tree turned out very pretty,

[@Bttrflyfan23]

These are beautiful!!! I like them both. I'm going to try a heart paint scrape. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@debbierheault6552]

These cards are great and will definitely give this a try!
