Oooo - I have used grays for creating the shading, but never thought of coloring over the base in that way. Cool - sure beats trying to shade all of the itty bitty bits and trying to get that right! I think for the round cactus, you could easily cut it in half vertically and get 2 cards from it. Thanks for sharing the techniques. I’ve been coloring for a long time, but I still pick up new tips. I love talavera pottery - I think these designs give that vibe.

[@pennywarren2357]

These are so realistic that I flinched when you touched the "spikes" Lol! Thank you for sharing your talents, tips & tricks with us!

[@alisonpendlebury-brown7885]

Haha me too. I just commented the same.

[@patriciajohnson1138]

So helpful for a beginner ❤❤❤

[@TheLotte64]

Wow both cards is so beautiful. Its so relaxing for me to watch, and I learn from you, so Thank you so much😍🙏

[@shirleyturner184]

Love the shortcut!! What a time saver then trying to go around the design. Thanks

[@lyndaprobst4413]

Love them, I have two of my granddaughters that love Cactus!

[@sheriarmes9033]

I have just started getting serious about blending and i found you!!!Sheri from Omaha Nebraska

[@heatherfergusonsuprfoxdesigns]

Beautiful images and love your cards, great tip/technique on shading, will have to give it a try. Thanks for the idea on gifts, I like the idea of an activity as opposed to a thing. Happy belated birthday to Eric.

[@FreidaKirkland]

I do love cacti, but these look better than ANY of mine!? Lol Going back and changing the color on the second vase, ummm, pot(tic), I couldn't believe the difference! These are just beautiful Kelly! 👍💕🌵

[@kathykyles1166]

First time watching. Beautiful coloring!

[@traceylandt9026]

Awesome technique Kelly. I found that super interesting and will give it a go. Love these images. CCC does such a great job of the oversized images, I love them. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, I very much appreciate it. Keep well. T x 🇦🇺

[@WendyCranford]

Gorgeous cards!!! Macie said they looked printed lol ❤

[@mariahultander2102]

Thanks for a great video and technique! Never thought of doing it this way. A definitely must-try. 👍🏻🙏❤️

[@lisadelong1455]

Your knowledge of color is way over my head, but this shortcut technique is very helpful. You made these cacti look real, your talent is amazing. I was disappointed that you did all that beautiful coloring on the pots then cut half of them off. These stamps are definitely made for a 5x7 or larger card. I wish more card makers made 5x7 cards. The murder mystery dinner sounds like a lot of fun. I would like to do that sometime.

[@patwilliams6894]

Yet another lovely card. How about cohesive corners for the technique

[@mecheledunlap4301]

Great job, these cards are over the top!! Thanks for explaining 🙂

[@sharonmeredith4321]

So innovative!! Beautiful cards. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@JulesandGrae]

2 x absolutely stunning cards love these stamps!

[@giseledumas8766]

What a faublous technique. Thank you for sharing.

[@Ladycrafty6]

Love the coloring guidance!😍

[@yaniyap76]

Hi Kelly, you've done such an amazing job coloring these pots. I love the way they look, so realistic, and the multi-colors you've used. It's not easy to combine colors or shading. You are an inspiration. Thank you for teaching/showing. Take care.

[@karenminor4504]

Love the pots! It's just a shame that some of the images needed to be cut off! Eric's present sounds excit6ing! Glad your sisters could join!

[@michelegourd5742]

Kelly, you are so creative!!

[@rachellelee7707]

OMG...I love these cards!!!

[@carolpope1145]

Lovely cards

[@ValShim]

Beautiful as always! Thank you!

[@karenschneider8456]

They look so real! I jumped when you touched the needles! You explained the colors and how to choose them so I understand them. Thank you

[@alisonpendlebury-brown7885]

Love these so much. As you were placing things on top of the round cactus I actually winced a little thinking ouch fingers on those spikes haha. They look so dimensional.

[@suelanham5125]

Wow! Great cards!

[@madelinelittman1863]

Wow! These would look great framed and hung on a wall!! Your coloring is the best

[@terriconrad4612]

Beautifully done as usual! You are a coloring queen for sure! I’m so sorry about your anxiety but happy you were still able to enjoy. You take care! 💕🙋‍♀️

[@Honeybee1975..]

So beautiful!

[@Lala_Lemon]

It's very Harry Potter-esque, watching your coloring come to life. Not one thing I make is suitable for the viewing public. What you do pretty much effortlessly is literal magic in the real world. ❤

[@tchme4now]

You just gave me life!!!!❤❤❤

[@kathrynfrantz7091]

Hi, Kelly! I’m just catching up on videos. I had eye surgery so am a bit behind. Your Murder Mystery tale made me smile and brought back many memories. My husband and I went to a Murder Mystery once. This was so long ago, our cell phones did not have cameras! It’s a shame that memories tend to fade. I just remember a couple things. We got there early so we had drinks and appetizers (shrimp cocktails) up on a rooftop deck, overlooking the city. And I don’t even remember the plot! But I do remember that audience members were selected to participate! I was cast as a zombie! We new cast members were herded into a room and coached until it was time for our entrances! My husband patiently waited for my return! Big surprise! We had never been to a mystery before or since!

[@kathleencarter9739]

I thought all that coloring would take a long time. Your explanation of it all really helped me, thank you❤

[@susien8097]

Those are really cool! It amazing how a your shading and white jell pen make them so dimensional. As always I learn so much watching your videos. Glad you all had fun at the mystery dinner.

[@LynBell]

Thanks for the tips! You are talented. When I first saw the cactus with the gold I wondered what a strawberry was doing in the pot...lol!

[@stephaniehuntley302]

Beautiful!

[@lltpgh2012]

Great cards! Like Deb , I thought - ohh no, Kelly is going to cut the pots!- Always enjoy your explanation of your technique! Thanks for sharing!

[@pamwhite9523]

Love these!

[@tsheilma]

OMG. This is amazing!!!

[@pamwhite9523]

Brilliant!

[@CatherinesCreations7]

Fabulous cards! Thanks for the shading shortcut too!

[@kimluptovic2280]

truly amazing!

[@kimbrewer223]

Beyond cute - love the info about the color wheel and using colors next to each other. WOW, you are amazing and I appreciate all the insight and teaching you do! I do struggle with where the shadow should be - thanks for the video. AWESOME!!!!

[@kareneaton433]

Great tutorial, thank you.

[@rhondareynolds8007]

Beautiful cards! Love the way you colored both the cactuses and their pots. Thank you for the video and your explanation!

[@debschurby1574]

OH HOW COOL!!! I love you’re doing a live!

[@kathryna5912]

Great tips! Love the bright colours and contrast!!

[@bonnerdebbie]

Beautiful cards and great coloring tips, thanks Kelly.

[@aufan7134]

Once again”outta the park”. You never stop amazing me with your talent! And the birthday gift for Eric, so clever. I would love that. Stay well.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@debiv7834]

Beautiful! 🎉 Happy Birthday Eric! 🎊🎉🎈🎁

[@carolmason8085]

Kelly, your coloring is so lovely and appreciate your explanation. I'm new to alcohol markers. Any recommendation for a beginner and less expensive markers?

[@brianacpratt]

Gorgeous cards Kelly 💛. I loved watching the progression of the coloring of both pots!

[@joyceliebe2364]

Some great tips I’ve not heard before, thank you! And these cards are wonderful-such talent! ❤

[@carlapage7957]

Hi Kelly! Just got back from work, lucky to find you live!!!

[@gretchenmoore3485]

Love the copic coloring tips, Kelly (especially the greens). I always learn something from you. Gorgeous card!! These pots could be sold at Home Goods or At Home!!

[@mrsmcphate]

Thanks so much for showing this technique! Such a time saver! Your coloring of these images is beautiful! TFS!

[@Cards4Cancer]

I love the murder mystery idea. Hubby took me to do glass blowing for V day. It was so fun. Actually no blowing involved. For someone who has been in the bed for years, it was so fun to get out of the house and it not be a Dr appt. He likes experiences too.

[@sherrifredrickson2509]

Such pretty images!! But I really need to know how it's going with Peanuts lunches!! 😉

[@melodieisreal5933]

I love to watch you color, I love all of the details and the colors! I am surprised that with your's and Eric's law enforcement backgrounds you both got it wrong...lol better luck next time!

[@juliegonya6236]

Beautiful!
