These cards are so incredibly beautiful Nichol and the layout is just amazing! I wish I had one tenth of your creativity girl as for me, that is the toughest part about paper crafting, ie coming up with your own design, and then choosing color combinations that look good together. Really enjoyed and so appreciate all that you share and teach! Thanks...hugz Nancy

[@kathrynd6779]

Nancy Lynn You never know, inspiration may come from the most unexpected places!

[@NancyLynn]

So true Kathryn!

[@homeplayingwithpaper]

Looks awesome. Love the way you used the paste. You made it look so good. Thank you for sharing!

Love the texture element AND the gorgeous coloring!

[@tammyapplegate7544]

Gorgeous

[@pamphillips5207]

Loved this card! Just bought everything I need to make it. Question: the bottom white piece... is that the other part of the card you trimmed down? Or is it just slightly larger? Thanks!

[@pfengwa44]

Gorgeous! I love the texture paste.

[@carolhalvorson463]

Fabulous! I need to break out my texture paste. You've inspired me once again!!

[@jennifersmith9344]

Absolutely gorgeous cards!!

[@kaypedigo5969]

Nichol, another A plus! Beautiful colors. I struggle with color combinations, you always seem to be right on. Can you tell me where you buy your colored envelopes? The colors you use with your cards seem so perfect. I always look forward to your tutorials. You, Jennifer and Kristina are my "Go to, Gurus." Thanks again.

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

All my envelopes are from Simon Says Stamp. They come in the most yummy colors! shrsl.com/mlsb

[@rigmorolsson4765]

[@coolstamper]

BEAUTIFUL/GORGEOUS/AWESOME cards...you are my new FAVORITE designer!!! I just recently bought the Zig clean color markers and so far I love them!!! AND I LOVE the color combos you chose...very much the ones I would choose!!! TYFS!!! P. S. Now I have to go do a sneak attack on your other cards!!! :)

[@stanky6261973]

[@zarahp2098]

These are aaaamazing! ♥

[@debbieroberts5411]

Beautiful

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

Thank you

[@geraldcent09]

Wow

[@annettehopkins6895]

Another question- What type of craft mats are good for doing this? I need to get one and maybe a gift for my mom.

[@brianna56ism]

Love the technique. Will it also work with distress ink where the colour will be picked up?

[@annettehopkins6895]

I haven't tried embossing yet, but I got an embossing tool. I started getting some Copic sketch markers, but don't have Zig. Are these markers a water color marker? I believe I have some from stamping up. Anyway, my mom wants to get into making cards, but I don't think she's interested in doing a lot of coloring with things like Copic. I bought her some embossing powder and alcohol ink for Christmas. I think she would like doing the techniques like this one and it looks beautiful.

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

The Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers are water based making them perfect for watercoloring techniques! I'm not the best watercolor so I love these as they give me great results every time!

[@cheriduran9955]

Does this coloring technique work with Copics? Or just waterbased markers??

[@SKat7776]

These are stunning!

[@eloisecardiel6097]

Beautiful!
