The way you used the watercolor pencils and the beautiful shading that your were able to achieve is gorgeous here.

[@davidchapman2213]

Absolutely beautiful. Just discovered your channel. You're one of those gems that I stumble upon every now and then. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I look forward to learning all that I can.

[@gwendolenlever7043]

Wow! The depth achieved is impressive! My art teacher told me to bring a book, sit in the corner and read but my maths tutor explained my spatial awareness needed work. While depth, perspective and other spatial skills do not come naturally I believe I can achieve some great results with this technique. Thank you so much for your clear and precise instructions!

[@kimdad8831]

I just have to say that most successful artists were told by their art teachers to forget it. Never let 1 ignorant individual define what you can or can't do. Just because they are a 'professional' doesn't make them anymore than anyone else. With billions of us we all see beauty different. Enjoy it and find people like lou, lou withers and sheene Douglas that are actually good at teaching the techniques. Good luck x

[@KarenLeanneCreates2024]

This is one of the most beautiful cards I've ever seen!❤

Lou, you always amaze me with your incredible talent. I just love to watch you bring a piece of white card stock in to absolute beauty.

[@triciakaplan5201]

You’ve done a stunning job of coloring those flowers! I don’t know if I’d have the patience! But it’s gorgeous!

[@kerrymcmahon4568]

Oh, wow. This is so beautiful. I will be trying this technique.

[@marianneandreazza6880]

Awesome video, Lou...have shared it several times to my US friends who are too afraid to cross the pond...lol

[@carolewilliamson8344]

Lou absolutely genius. These flower are stunning. 🥰

[@LouCollins]

Thanks so much 😊

[@tenak7278]

[@Jue-peapodscraftycorner]

Need to try this technique it’s absolutely stunning 🤩

[@nancypark1480]

So beautiful. You inspire me. Thank you.

[@paulinegalloway8920]

Your colouring is so impressive. I'm still learning.

[@debbiemolina8670]

This is so pretty. You really made those colors pop! I never would have thought of this color combo either.

[@susangrimes2729]

😎 Try placing wax paper on top of your glitter, card stock, adhesive sheet before running it through your Big Shot machine. Your card is stunning 🤩

[@bettyareson6098]

This is beautiful. Never saw this pencil technique. Definitely going to try it.

[@LouCollins]

I'd love to hear how you get on!

[@mandydoodlehands4998]

This card is beautiful love the colours need to get them in my life

[@Suejo12409]

Lou, this is such a beautiful card ❤ I love the colored pencils over the distress oxides, I never would have thought of this. Thank you for sharing your talents with all of us.😊

[@LouCollins]

Thank you so much!

[@amyswares]

You are a marvel! This is GORG!!!!

[@samanthac5761]

Stunning result. Though I liked the glitter card (looked like sizzix opulent cardstock), on those colors I love the high shine of gold mirri. Thank you for sharing!

[@AbiNomac]

Second video I’ve seen of yours and both techniques have never been done by others before. Wow. Who are you? Subscribed

[@bethqueen2375]

Such a beautiful card. Truly amazing.

[@gaylerobinson6224]

Oh my. This is beautiful. The colored pencils over the "bleached" oxides makes the flowers so elegant. I love the look of color over the white pencil. It adds a unique depth that's just stunning.

[@gaylenemedson6069]

Beautiful. I haven't done much coloring so will have to give a go.

[@LouCollins]

Go for it!

[@lindachiasson5626]

This is a most beautiful card!

[@BeckyGaroutte]

Absolutely stunning!

[@martinesublet956]

C'est vraiment magnifique 😍 merci pour ce tuto 🥰

[@susanhardy2848]

Beautiful card Lou.. although both Chrissie and yourself used the same colours and die set just how different the end products are using different techniques but both inspirational… thank you x

[@zinaidakrusinskiene]

Wowww.Amazing...Super great card!

[@lynnbartlett4185]

This is absolutely stunning. I don’t have any dies like this so I might have a go with gold embossing ink and hope to get a similar effect.

[@7tracey7]

That was my thoughts too 😊

[@Dotalina33]

This is unbelievably gorgeous! I am stunned. Never would have thought of putting aged mahogany with salvaged patina. I wonder if spraying the backside with pixie spray would work. The adhering is always the issue. My hubby said that should be hung on a wall (with no sentiment. ) well you sold me on this die! Wowza.

[@LouCollins]

Thank you so much ❤

[@marybresnock3518]

Just amazing. Stunning is such an accurate description.

[@LouCollins]

Wow, thank you!

[@helengrunow5094]

Lovely card! Really got me motivated and into my craftroom,i thank you.(Sweet with the birds in background) im always interested in bigger dies n stamps etc like these,for 6x6 format.

[@LouCollins]

That would also work! ❤
