  1. Wonderful video Vicky! Thx for all the tips- I love watercolor but find it challenging. Your card is lovely!

  2. Love this technique. I’ve seen a few makers do this recently and I’m encouraged to try it this weekend. Love the card! Thanks for sharing always!

  3. the “loose” watercolor is a terrific way to hide “imperfections” and make the project look beautiful– LOVE IT!

  4. Absolutely love this technique! You make it look very easy and I can hardly wait to use it. This stencil is on my “To Order list.”. Thank you for the simplicity of it.

  5. These oranges scream California (where I live) and would be so fun to send to my friends in the colder climates… I love the “messy” look…for me it would be hiding my mistakes!

  6. I love how this card is so dreamy soft looking. It could be used with so many different sentiments. I like how you re-stenciled the leaves for just a bit of definition!

  7. Gorgeous card! I love the Orange Blossoms stencil set and the beautiful colors you used!

  8. Gorgeous card Vicky! Alot of folks are showcasing this set from the new release. I must say, your take is a favorite of mine! Lovely look for sure. TFS:)

  9. the oranges look like they won’t fit
    into the envelope because they are
    so fat. Fantastic coloring. Great
    card. thanks for sharing
