    That kissing ball is gorgeous!! I’ve never heard of a kissing ball, but, I love it. I thought that sound was your husband sanding something lol.

    Another winner (as usual)! I am definitely going to use this. Thanks so much for the inspiration.



  7. Gin Sanders on December 12, 2019 at 8:40 pm

    I thought it was Penny in the background messing around! LOL! You are so focused! Anyway, very cute kissing ball.



  8. Chelle Ratcliffe - The Ramblin' Crafter on December 12, 2019 at 8:41 pm

    Beautiful just what I was looking for to make a simple Christmas card! Thank you



  10. Lisa Hornbeck on December 12, 2019 at 8:45 pm

    The cat …… LOL!



  11. A .Vultink on December 12, 2019 at 8:45 pm

    Sorry Human. One likes to use the litterbox when you shoot a video ;p



  12. A .Vultink on December 12, 2019 at 8:48 pm

    Just exactly how many times did he went,lol



  13. Jeanne L on December 12, 2019 at 8:49 pm

    Very pretty. Iโ€™m glad you mentioned the cat. At first, I thought it was you brush being loud, but the noise didnโ€™t synch up. ๐Ÿคช



  14. Margarita Villacorta on December 12, 2019 at 8:49 pm

    I love the simplicity of the card which makes it ideal for water color. Thank you for sharing it!



  15. Laura Long on December 12, 2019 at 8:50 pm

    Beautiful! Merry Christmas!!



  16. Donna Lieblick on December 12, 2019 at 8:53 pm

    Very cute, quick and simple…thank you!



  17. DeLila on December 12, 2019 at 8:53 pm

    OH I LOVE THIS ALREADY…..I love using my masking tape to make a circle :). What fun!



  18. Tika Carr on December 12, 2019 at 8:53 pm

    I love your watercolor tutorials! ๐Ÿ™‚ I want to let you know I found a foil quill pen (they have fine and bold point) at Michael’s. Those come with a little bit of gold foil. They are so neat! Heats up using USB port (I have one of those power strips with USB I got at Walmart on my craft/computer table). Then you tack it down good foil side up and slowly go over it writing on the foil with the pen. Very pretty and easy to do! They are $40 though but I got it for $16 with a 60% coupon. ๐Ÿ™‚ #NOSPONS! Just sharing something I discovered that I think would be great for accents especially over the watercolor paintings for the holidays!

  24. LuvU Robert on December 12, 2019 at 9:09 pm

  26. Robin Blank on December 12, 2019 at 9:11 pm

    Lovely, Lindsay! Did I hear you say you make kissing balls?!?! Can you possibly do a video on that? I have wanted to make one but seemed daunting.



  27. Fran Lynch on December 12, 2019 at 9:12 pm

    Great tutorial, just beautiful



  28. Gaina on December 12, 2019 at 9:13 pm

    That’s a great basic design to ‘tweak’ for other seasons and occasions, isn’t it? ๐Ÿ˜Š I’ll give that a go. ๐Ÿ˜Š



  29. Machine Fack on December 12, 2019 at 9:13 pm

    Lindsay(or anyone else), I have a question, it’s off topic but I have no clue whom else to ask. I have a plastic flask I carried Everclear alcohol in, fuel for an alcohol burning stove. Is it safe for watercolors to carry water in now? I assume it is considering alcohol evaporates very fast…I just don’t wanna screw up works of art or expensive paint/supplies.



  30. Our Wandering Footprints on December 12, 2019 at 9:14 pm

    Lovely watercolor tutorial! I will definitely try this one. Thanks for sharing it! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!



  31. PartlyCloudy90 Jones on December 12, 2019 at 9:18 pm

    Lol, I guessed someone was in the kitchen chopping, then sweeping, then I thought it was the dog playing! Anyway, beautiful. I love this!



  32. Linda on December 12, 2019 at 9:19 pm

    The kissing ball is so pretty! I really like how you showed us how to make the bow! Thank you Lindsay.



  33. Anita Holmes on December 12, 2019 at 9:19 pm
