I never knew mud could look so so good! You always have a "fresh" prospective...which is so inspiring!

Fun cards!! I have definitely played with color blending. Fall is the perfect time to play with mud.

Hi Ardyth, these blendings did indeed look great. My answer is that I might cautiously try. Thanks so much for some interesting techniques. Happy Thanksgiving Ardyth. 😊🇨🇦

Ardyth, I enjoy your videos!!
All your cards came out so beautiful!! 😍

Beautiful cards and great techniques. All the "muds" look great, IMO! I actually create the brown/mud accidentally sometimes, and it's usually just fine! My favorite: the dotty card! TFS!!
