      Gorgeous! I will have to give this a try. What paper is used for the stamping?

  5. Michele+W says:

    What a great technique! Like you I’m not good at water coloring but love the look. I will definitely be giving this technique a try. Thanks for all the tips and for sharing this idea! As for the cards, it’s a toss up between the red and the green with a slight edge to the red.

  6. Sue A Nesheim says:

    What a wonderful technique! I also struggle with water-coloring and this works so well! I love the richness of the red and green side strips, so that’s my vote! Thanks for the videos you do so well!

  7. June from Minnesota says:

    OMG! GENIUS technique! How did you come up with this??? The green foliage looks fantastic, and I would never be able to get that red portion to be so “organic”. AMAZING! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
    I think the red edging with gold stripe makes the pointsettia pop off the page- GORGEOUS!

    —could you demonstrate, in a future video, how to use the Brother Scan and Cut? any tips and tricks you may have would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

  8. Elin St says:

    Dear Jennifer – I have never seen this technique and I love it. I will have to give it a try! I love all of the cards, esp the two w/ the red and green strips up the side. Glad I ordered this set.
    TFS!!
