Man Dawn, I just love to watch you create! Beautiful! TFS

[@angelascott2475]

Flowers look beautiful done using water colours, makes them look so soft. Thanks for sharing. I’d never thought of doing it this way x

[@kimfrank2978]

These stamps done in watercolor is just beautiful! Great job!

[@vickifinger3504]

I love the look of this card so much! I tried it using my regular inks, but it was very unsatisfactory in appearance. I've watched this video 3 times (I think) and I'm getting ready to watch again. Each time I pick up something new. You video's are the absolute best out there. I finally broke down and bought some of the Distress Ink Markers and I've done the first layer on a peony with great success. The water solubility of the distress inks great helps this techniques. I always have been able to do the leaves, so I hope they don't fail me tonight. Thank you for making such quality video tutorials. I love W-Plus-9 stamps and coordinating dies and that you have designed them for everyone to be able to achieve the watercolor effect.

[@annegozdowiak9458]

I am addicted. I have binge watched every you tube tutorial of yours in one sitting. I have never water colored before and I am now anxious to try it myself. I ordered the pretty peonies builder set as my first project. I cannot get enough of watching you watercolor!!! I have subscribed to your channel and I hope you post many many more tutorials. Thank you for sharing!!!

[@SKnecht1948]

Your watercolors are beautiful. Glad I found you. Thanks!

[@cathyb7560]

Wow how clever to design those stamps to work like that too. I can't believe you went from a few lines to a beautiful flower in seconds!

[@RobinsDocumentedLife]

I just had to have this! Ordered! Can't wait for the butterfly and hummingbird stamp set to come back in stock! :) Thanks for your tutorials. I'm new to watercolor/painting, so you break it down so it's very easy to understand. Thank you.

[@bonnieshapiro3511]

This is great video. So informative. I am new to water coloring. This will welp so much in coloring flowers on my cards.

[@sincerelyyoursinvitationsb9827]

Dawn, I can’t believe this video has been up for so long and I haven’t seen it! I absolutely love to watercolor...but I’m not really good at it, except washes and brush lettering. Now I feel like I (maybe) can watercolor flowers and have the end result look like I know what I’m doing. Lol. Thanks so much for the lesson!

[@michelemarshall9788]

If only I had a fraction of your talent............ you are such a talented artist

[@mybluebike101]

I agree, I was amazed at how easy she made it look. I need to try that. Thank you for a wonderful video!

[@darylbottema-adkins7957]

Oh it looks so good. I'd slap it in a small frame and find a nice spot for it on the wall. It's beautiful.

[@KonaSitkaRose]

I have to practice practice practice and then practice some more ♥ Thank you!

[@AScrapOfKindness]

I just purchased this set 15 minutes ago. Love any stamp set that allows me to watercolor. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial!

[@CouzCat]

Lovely. I might actually be able to do this :)

[@Scrappingcane]

Thank you so much for such an awesome video!! This is probably an easy question....when adding the sentiment, do you just stamp your sentiment over the watercolor once it is dry? Thanks for all of your inspiration!!

[@MareeForman]

Your work is lowly and you map fit look so easy

[@streifeneis]

great, thanks

[@Emma5ey]

Beautiful!! I'm going to order the stamps now! Where can I find those watercolor markets?

[@lindaeastment4542]

Hi Don I APOLOGISE IF I HAVE INCORRECTLY SPELT YOUR NAME.......I have just discovered your crafting channel I was watching a tutorial you posted on u tube on...... September 5th 2014....... the only thing I can say is WOW WOW WOW what a lovely picture you created you explained all so very well and made your tutorial very easy to follow ( a very big 👍 up to you) I have just started to water colour and I find it very relaxing I hope you receive this message if you do PLEASE CAN YOU TELL ME WERE YOU GET YOUR BEAUTIFUL STAMP SETS FROM thank you so much 💞🎆 Lin in South Wales uk x

[@mpbailey18]

Stunning! Gives me incentive to at least try my hand at water coloring...since I'm not at all artistic!

[@raerae129]

Hie there, I tried to purchase your stamp set.. However it's currently unavailable.. Could you tell me when it would be in stock again? :) Love your work.. It's absolutely gorgeous!!

[@hazelparr8461]

Well after this amazing tutorial I feel a little better at spending the last of my wage on some distress markers but now I've got to wait for payday to add this set to my collection. Can I ask what paints do you prefer? Thanks Hazel xx

[@dawnwplus9]

Hi Hazel! For paints, I current use Winsor $ Newton and/or Grumbacher. But I want to try Old Holland. The colors look so vibrant and intense.

[@Zitahun]

I love all your stamp sets. After having so much fun with the Flora and fauna 2 I decided to buy this new stamp set as well. Btw...I love your nail color. Could you please tell me the nail polish name?

[@dawnwplus9]

Thank you so much! Unfortunately, I don't know the name. It is a gel manicure from the salon, so the polishes are tagged by # not name. But it is a very deep eggplant color with shimmer in it.

[@hannahhawley8654]

Hello! Do you know if the ink in the markers are food safe?

[@xonivora]

I don't have markers I only have watercolour crayons and tube watercolours can I use the same technique.

[@JejeLynn]

where can i buy those stamps?

[@marilynnellsworth4300]

Beautiful! You have so much talent. Hugs

[@Britgirl58]

I think I may have left a comment/question somewhere on one of your videos that must have been confusing! I was binge watching your videos, but also watched a couple of other watercolor videos at the same sitting. Another artist had used a similar technique to you - stamping then coloring with watercolors. She had used a certain watercolor set. My question to you was about her set of paints, but I thought you had used them! Now, I know you use the Distress markers for your water coloring, but you also use regular water color paints. What brand of watercolor paints do you use, and which - markers or paints - do you recommend for a beginner in watercolor and this technique? Thank you so very much, and I apologize for my earlier mistake. Julie

[@dawnwplus9]

Julie Blake No apology needed! I prefer tube watercolors for traditional watercolor paintings. I like both Winsor & Newton and Grumbacher.

[@Britgirl58]

Wplus9 Design Thank you Dawn.

[@LindaEBrown]

Nice video. Shame you were speaking so fast, I found it difficult to understand what you were saying.

[@rhondallyons9842]

I just love your bouquet! You have lots of talent!
