I love the second card. "Perfect" was my immediate reaction to it when you had finished it. The first one, though very nice, seems a bit chaotic, which, however would be appropriate if you were trying to convey a stormy rainy day. In fact, in the first card, you get the feeling that the umbrella is going to carry the little kitty away in the storm.

THANK YOU for leaving in the comparison for us! You wouldn’t believe the difference without seeing it! Yes! The softer edge does give it a more playful look! I loved how the white embossed words popped on the blue, adding to the softer- more playful look! ☔️💙☔️

Thanks so much for doing 2 cards and incorporating what you learned from the 1st into the 2nd. It's inspiring and humbling to see this in a video from an extremely talented artist. It definitely provided a lot of encouragement to me in my card making. 😊💓🌈 I struggle sometimes when I spend a lot of time on a new design/technique and the end result isn't up to my standards...I have a hard time restarting, feeling as if I wasted my time. A fellow artist friend of mine asked me if I learned something from the process and if the answer was yes, then it's never a waste of time. That really resonated with me. Thank you for providing a video that demonstrates the real-life creative process! I never knew that alcohol markers could be used on top of ink blending. That looks awesome! Thanks so much Kristina for bringing your amazing creativity, knowledge and happiness to the card making community, it really means a lot!! 😊💓

First of all, Sandy Allnock is amazing. She has the heart of a teacher. Second, I think my choice would be a hybrid of the two. I like the drama of the first card and the white lettering of the second. I’m so going to try that technique to make rain. (Umbrellas are one of my favorite motifs.)

I love these! One of the reasons I so enjoy watching @SandyAllnock1 is because she's such a genius at contrast. Many artists I watch are good - very good - but the willingness to embrace contrast, even sometimes stark contrast, really elevates artwork from good to great. I always love your coloring but today's is so so good! ❤️🐱

I love the bright coat in the stormy card. It allows the cat to stand out. The saying is the only thing I would change for that card. Storms can come into all of our lives but an umbrella can be there to help. The puddle playing card is perfect. I'm glad you made that card so you were happy with getting onto paper the image that was in your mind. Very cool to see the outcome of the two cards and the process that changed a storm into fun.

I love both, they show different aspects of a rainy day, one more blustery than the other! (1st one) which could quite easily depict a rainy Autumnal day, where the 2nd looks more like a spring shower! Did love LOVE the blending of the inks before adding the texture, it gave a great base to work on. This has given me some great ideas for some of my work, so thank you so much for showing us both examples. BOTH work so well!!
