This came at such a perfect time - I signed up to make greeting cards for homebound elderly residents of a retirement community, and these will be a wonderful way to add some cheer to their day!

I LOVE your "very simple" cards! Sometimes I want to sit down and just make something pretty without having to be stressed, and your channel always has videos that help me do that. Thank you!

I saw the final results looking in trying to find something easy and fun! I watched and now ready to paint! Thank you for taking the time to show how.

I used to make my own cards. Elaborate computer generated art on card stock. Then I saw a person to whom I had given the card with cash inside discard it like used wrapping paper. The ink and time that went into that card, picking just the right words for the person I gave it to meant nothing. I don't send cards anymore. My family is no more (all passed on). My kids and grandkids only like the card for the money in it. So I use free ones we get in the mail. You probably have friends to whom a homemade card means more to them than the store bought gift.
These are gorgeous Marena. I would love them.
