I knew the Grass was Greener. I love all of these sets. What did the Rabbit say to Lettuce? Romaine calm..........I'm here for the carrots. Yes! Who wouldn't want ALL of these sets?

[@czdesign]

Hahah! So fun!

[@deonamcenery4135]

I love the addition of the sentiment on the front.

[@margarete6888]

One of the sweetest cards I’ve ever seen!

[@Momof31996]

such an adorable card, with very little watercoloring. Less is more here

[@angelaferguson7233]

I love it Cathy. So glad you added the sentiment at the bottom. It was a perfect addition.

[@nancygerard416]

I’m moving and all my craft supplies are packed. Now I’m anxious to move and unpack so I can use my Tim Holtz watercolor pencils. Thanks again for another awesome card.

[@deballen7031]

Hi. Thank you for sharing this very cute card. I think it would be perfect for a new baby card, pink scarf for a girl and blue scarf for a boy. Have a lovely day. 😊

[@nancygriest1972]

That stamp is too adorable. 😍❤️❤️❤️

[@Deneen31]

I knew I’d avoided this video because it would make me want the distress watercolor pencils LOL. Great job Cathy

[@donnaholloway1229]

Precious card. Great job, I just love the bunnies.

[@christineh3866]

Either version would be great but I did like the black greeting just a tad more. 😊

[@dalesample8611]

Cathy, I was trying not to buy any more stamps this month. So many companies had cute releases and I have spent too much. I had seen this stamp, but said no don't do it, but then I saw this video, and you did such a cute job. The fact that I have these watercolor crayons that I have never used tells me it was meant to be. Love your videos.

[@carriejones5776]

Cute card. Love CCC. I think too much contrast with black sentiment strip for me at least. Grey would have been less contrasty and still ground image.

[@sonjah1983]

Love how easy you make water coloring!! Darling stamp set too!!!

[@carolynr.4227]

Super cute...love the bunny and the grass set.

[@susanbollinger2844]

That card is so adorable!!

[@Bethadilly]

You rocked this card. 🐇💗

[@czdesign]

BETHANY! I miss you friend. Back home now. We'll chat. We'll chat.

[@ruthannsmith3470]

So cute!!! I love that bunny.

[@kathypatterson4630]

Cathy, I coouldn't even see the parts where you said you went out. Your card is adorable!

[@bobbyfitzgerald4165]

Adorable card. Colorado Crafts has the cutest stamps

[@czdesign]

They really do!

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

This is adorable. I love that cute bunny. I love the Distress crayons I have. I scribble a bit on my glass mat and then use a water brush to pick up some color. These look great too. I have some Derwent watercolor pencils I use this way.

[@czdesign]

That's a great idea!

[@anniesews]

Very cute card. I like your watercoloring with the Distress Color Pencils.

[@Jan-dm7wj]

What an adorable card!💕 Thanks Cathy.

[@CraftyKiwiMama]

So cute Cathy, love the soft watercolour finish. Super cute image xoxo

[@jeanetterochnowskis142]

Soooo stinkin adorable. Love both the sentiments. Too funny! ❤️

[@laurifall8003]

Very cute card, with or without the outside greeting

[@patriciawilson4135]

So very cute. Love Colorado Crafts and Anita. Thanks, Cathy.

[@valdaritter8159]

This on is totally adorable.....

[@wendydennee5648]

I got the email from Colorado Craft this morning and decided I didn't want to purchase this release, but after watching your video, now I want to purchase it!!!!!

[@marywright49]

Love the greenery stamp set, so handy to have.❤

[@jennymore]

Came for the boop, stayed for the boop, loved the boop, will be back for more boop. ❤

[@roxytimmons482]

Such a wonderfully adorable card🤗🤗

[@justkidden2]

Fricken adorable! Love it!

[@monaporter9849]

A very sweet card! Ilove that its simple and fresh looking

[@LoJo99]

💚💜cuteness overload CZ. The black sentiment is just what it needed.

[@joannfroman4976]

Sweet and funny card. 😃

[@briannamorton5524]

Very cute card! I’m so glad you added the sentiment on the front, it finished it off perfectly. You must have heard me talking through the screen in agreement lol 😜

[@czdesign]

Of course I did! hahaha

[@anneschroeder6797]

Such a cute card. I love those pencils!

[@kjones1785]

such a cute card and i love these water colour pencils, i use them all the time!

[@rlpittard]

So stinking cute

[@ginniesedlak20]

So cute! I may be getting those Arched Dies! I do like the greeting at the bottom.

[@alisonnet2845]

Thank you so much for working with the watercolor pencils...I'm still trying to figure out best way to use them, so this was VERY helpful!

[@743linda]

What a cute card❤❤❤

[@cherieselauer7829]

Thank you for the inspiration!! I dreaded starting Easter cards but you helped me kicked it off! Loved the card! 😍

[@alisonnet2845]

thank you also for delightful music

[@czdesign]

Thanks for listening

[@JenAultman]

Holy cats this is cute!!! ❤️

[@luciaduartehall]

Cathy I love that scrubber. I don’t know how I ever lived without it.

[@corinarazo1404]

Everything about this card is adorable. I love me a good pun. I need to bust out my never used TH color pencils. You made coloring with them look easy. Thank you for the share. Look forward to your next card sesh 👉.

[@marjbiehler7628]

Love this card! I have the pencils and really need to do something with them. This has given me inspiration.

[@natasam.3308]

Sooo cute card!❤❤❤

[@dianebolton1467]

As always, inspiring!

[@ceceswalla3465]

I really like the black sentiment- it just grounds the whole card!

[@cheribrowning9212]

🧡💙🧡 The Black! It definitely grounds it perfectly!! Great job Cathy Z.👍 Have you seen Jennifer's video on that NEW Tim Holtz trimmer, she's head over heels in LOVE with it! Gina got one too, wish I could be a designer like you guys, hahaha but that's ok that I'm not (sometimes;) BUT Tonic does have the trimmer Gina uses a lot on SALE and that's the one I've been wishing I could get FOR A L O N G TIME... SO I Bought One!!! YAY FOR ME!!!!👍👍💃💃💃

[@blendasuarez2298]

Beautiful card ❤️

[@marieroecker9590]

Adorable. Been out of town so really behind in watching your videos.

[@barbarafender7046]

Absolutely adorable. I am going to have to drag out my water color pencils now. I usually use a regular paint brush dipped in water because I feel like I have more control of the water. I also do like Simon Hurley does and heat emboss my ink with clear embossing powder because it does help me stay in the lines better. I have been doing that trick for years and it really does help

[@lorispicer2498]

So cute!

[@simeenbatra6882]

We got a twopher today!! I bought the water color pencils when they first came out and I’ve been so intimidated to try - you make it looks so easy!

[@czdesign]

You got this!

[@maggieyager1840]

So adorable! Adding the bottom sentiment made it look like spring snow globe.

[@moniquevann9950]

So cute

[@Sylvia.Torres]

Adorable! ❤

[@barbw8972]

Sooooo sweet! I love that bunny stamp. I also love hearing you talk us through your creative process. Hearing you talk about adding the sentiment strip helps me understand how to make my own designs a little more eye-catching. This is my favourite thing about following you online... learning new things! (Also, you're hella funny.)

[@czdesign]

Thanks, friend!

[@1229joseph]

Soooo cute

[@valerieclarke2769]

Too cute! ❤

[@dmesm57]

Very sweet!

[@donnawilliams6263]

Such and enjoyable video!😃

[@wickedlady5162]

So cute love it 💜

[@bimmermom]

I loved that it’s beautiful! … I’m new to your channel and I loved that it didn’t all go perfect for you 😊. Yes the sentiment on the front just made it!

[@czdesign]

Welcome!!

[@paulynevandersloot5677]

Very cute!!

[@SusanBristel]

I just bought a set. Love how easy you make it look! Looking forward to trying

[@czdesign]

Have fun!

[@ruthiesiegel207]

Love it…perfect

[@barbbrown295]

I think this is the best Easter-ish artwork! So cute Cathy!

[@lizsmith5278]

I love your videos!

[@artcreationsbydar]

Love it! ❤️❤️❤️

[@karenskillender6684]

Such a sweet and simple card! This little bunny is adorable! Love it!

[@skgolf6529]

This was so helpful! Thank you!!

[@czdesign]

Thanks for watching!

[@LisaVornhagen]

I really love that card! The bunny is so cute and I love how you colored it!

[@debbievangurp8166]

I really fancy those grass stamps. It’s so good to have variety.

[@kcinca5410]

Using the shavings is my preferred way to use Tim's watercolor pencils. I have a great little tin with half pans and put my shavings in there and just add water whenever I'm ready to watercolor. I do love those watercolor brush pens. They are so convenient. I use them for my pigment powders, too. Cute card. I love Anita Jeram. See you this afternoon!

[@czdesign]

Great tip!

[@tksbaskets]

Love the card Cathy! Thank you for taking the time to post the things you used. I let me know what tape and dispenser you're using for the low tack for die cutting. I'm using washi that seems to travel all over my desk. I'm loving your solution.

The Anita Jeram stamps are sooooo adorable! Love your bunny card. ❤

[@bunnytoes7200]

Adorable stamp sets expertly spun with the infamous CZ spin. Love it!

[@joanngirimonte9349]

Absolutely adorable card Cathy 💖

[@enigmaartistenterprises9033]

You make it look so easy! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@jeannieherrera7888]

You made this look so simple. Its beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing❤

[@heathercole5938]

What an adorable stamp set Cathy

[@rhondamoitoso327]

Thank you for using this adorable set with TH pencils. I love how you make it so simple! Love the black word strip on the bottom!

[@cheri6905]

Cathy - omg, just SO cute.... LOVE it! I love the CCC/A. Jeram stamp sets! Your card was already perfect, but adding the black sentiment at the base of the card did 'ground' it..... it's cute & striking at the same time!

[@Kimberfae]

Soooooo cute! Thanks for sharing ❤

[@fosmert877]

I think it would have been pretty with or without the sequins added to it.

[@tjw1972]

How seriously cute!! I love this card. ♥♥ Question: Do you know if the SSS stamp cleaner has an oil in it that needs to be cleaned off before using the stamp again?

[@czdesign]

I don't believe it does. But I'm not 100% sure. I never have to wipe it off.

[@bonnieisabelle3641]

I would leave the sentiment off the front

[@72seriously]

Do you prefer the distress watercolor pencils or gamsol w/watercolor pencils?

[@czdesign]

Well, they are very different. The Distress Watercolor Pencils are designed to work with water… I have only used Gamsol with colored pencils, which are very waxy. : )

[@72seriously]

Boop!

[@cherylthompson3882]

Not sure if you have control over the ads that play during your video but I am not impressed with “make money with real estate with no cash, closing fees, or credit aimed at stay at home moms and ex-prisoners.” First ad that really seems like a scam and I am super disappointed to see it on your channel.

[@czdesign]

Hey Cheryl, I have ZERO control over what ads are shown. I believe, and I could be wrong, KZbin customizes ads based on the viewers ad preferences. For example, when I watch KZbin, I get a TON of nail polish ads. Sorry that ad ran!

[@cherylthompson3882]

@@czdesign glad to hear that you have no control. A little disappointed that you are turning it back on me - seems a little passive aggressive. I can assure you that I exclusively watch cardmaking and quilting content and am retired so no history that would suggest such an ad based upon my viewing but even were that not true why do you feel the need to suggest I did it to myself when I was obviously upset by the ad? Ok, I am going to let this go and move on and will continue to follow you and your excellent content.

[@racheljakubiak1235]
