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.
Thanks Lindsay!
So cute I have done your card coarse. What do I need for the floral class. So I can ask Santa to bring it pls.
so sweet 🙂

This is painting awesome! So simple and pretty! <3
Another winner (as usual)! I am definitely going to use this. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
I thought it was Penny in the background messing around! LOL! You are so focused! Anyway, very cute kissing ball.
Love this (and loved hearing the cat in the background 😂🐈).
Beautiful just what I was looking for to make a simple Christmas card! Thank you
The cat …… LOL!
Sorry Human. One likes to use the litterbox when you shoot a video ;p
Just exactly how many times did he went,lol
Very pretty. I’m glad you mentioned the cat. At first, I thought it was you brush being loud, but the noise didn’t synch up. 🤪
I love the simplicity of the card which makes it ideal for water color. Thank you for sharing it!
Beautiful! Merry Christmas!!
Very cute, quick and simple…thank you!
OH I LOVE THIS ALREADY…..I love using my masking tape to make a circle :). What fun!
I love your watercolor tutorials! 🙂 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. 🙂 #NOSPONS! Just sharing something I discovered that I think would be great for accents especially over the watercolor paintings for the holidays!
Sweet! Thanks Lindsay. 💜
Very beautiful
Someone just directed me to your YouTube channel tonight. Thank you for the tutorial! 😃
I did this quick and fun project today! Thanks for the great tutorial Lyndsay
Beautiful! Love the cat scratching in the background.
LOL… I thought the cat was jumping rope for a second there, hehee!
Lindsey this is very beautiful you did a wonderful beautiful job in painting this in watercolor.you are the master when it comes to watercolor you do great,always love your watercolor paintings.😊👍👌🌅😀❤🐕🐈🐶🐴
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.
Great tutorial, just beautiful
That’s a great basic design to ‘tweak’ for other seasons and occasions, isn’t it? 😊 I’ll give that a go. 😊
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.
Lovely watercolor tutorial! I will definitely try this one. Thanks for sharing it! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!
Lol, I guessed someone was in the kitchen chopping, then sweeping, then I thought it was the dog playing! Anyway, beautiful. I love this!
The kissing ball is so pretty! I really like how you showed us how to make the bow! Thank you Lindsay.
Love this idea for a card, so quick and easy! TFS
Love this, looks easy enough and will try it, love your kitty scratching xoxo
Love it! Thank you.
