Fun card, Laurel. =)
I would love to add the new CP inks to my collection. I cannot get enough of the first Spa set that I have been playing with this past week. This weekend I took out my Juniper mist for the first time and used it for some ink smooshing and guess what happened: it turned into a lovely soft purple. Maybe that’s why you love it too lol.

Your cards are amazing and this release is incredible! I prefer youtube live videos.
Great release & a wonderful card you made Laurel. I love that you show your “booboos” & your humour. I don’t have any CP inks due to exchange rate & shipping costs, but they are on my wish list.
Laurel,
Thank you for sharing your pretty card. I always love seeing what you create next as you inspire me.
My video preference is YouTube followed by Facebook.

You tube Live… I love your card
Love your cards and demos. I prefer Facebook Live because I can view all my favorite card/craft designers there. Love CP Inks, I have some and am looking forward to the Zen collection’s softer colors.
I like how you added a little bit ‘o glitter. Pretty.
Love the card! I prefer Youtube live.
I like you tube best…your cards are awesome
Your card is very pretty, it amazes me how something that looks like a mess in the beginning can turn into such a beautiful card in the end.
Fun card. Facebook live.
So pretty! I love the beautiful, blended frame 🙂
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
The flowers are so dainty and the colors great.
love that blending! Thank you!
Beautiful card. Love it. Thank you for sharing.
Love your card. I really want to try these new inks. I just heard about them 2 days ago. The colors look scrumptious. I prefer Facebook live. Thank you for the chance to win.
Always love watching the creative process, boo-boos and all! A lovely finished product, and yes, I admire the one-layered-ness.
Pretty card and pretty ink colors. My preference is You Tube. Thanks for the chance to win.
Such a pretty card, Laurel!!
This is so great – love how it appears more than just one layer! I like FB live or YouTube. I just figured out IG so maybe it will become a favorite. I usually can’t catch things live so I appreciate the replays.
Facebook Live is best for me.
Love the masking technique!
Simple but pretty ! Thanks for sharing xx
I do’t think I would have thought to use your color combo for the outer part of the card but I love it! Thanks for sharing it.
Beautiful card. Love the ink blended back. Thanks for sharing, booboos and all.
Your card is lovely! I would pick YouTube live.
It always amazing how lovely the ink splotches blend and create such a great design all their own! Thanks for the video.
Gorgeous! I prefer YouTube live.
Love your video and card, Laurel! Looking forward to getting my goodies soon!!
Thank you for sharing your inspiration!! I like the picture quality of youtube but it frequently freezes and skips. Facebook picture quality isn’t as good during a live, but you rarely get it to freeze or jump during the live. I look forward to seeing more creations with the Zen Garden release.
Love the new colors and the oval dies
Love the card. It’s plain and simple and so pretty.
The colors and shading of the big flower is great.
thanks for sharing.

Love these inks colors. Your background is awesome.
Very nice card! I prefer Facebook Live.
Pretty card.
What a fun technique. Will be trying this. I like watching you on youtube
Very pretty card…love the big sentiment.
I love this! I’m always looking for a streamlined card for some occasions/people. This does not look like it was quick!
The magic of masking never grows old! I prefer youtube live just because it stays there and I don’t have to watch with all the comments popping up (which can get old after a while).
I prefer You Tube live.
You are a great presenter. Very fun. And I really learn a lot when there little mistakes fixed along the way. Sooo pretty
I love this flower set and your card.
Love your card it is really pretty! And you ask what I liked live I always tend to miss the live casts on FB & You tube. So I’m going to have to say IG because it stays on the top bar and I can always watch it later when I see it. Thanks for sharing
You’re right…it was magic when you took off the masking paper…gorgeous! These colors are so beautiful! Love your card.
Colorful card and I like Facebook live.
Your card is beautiful. I like the colors
I prefer FB live as I am on there more often. Love the new ink release.

Great card! Love that you leave the ‘oops’ in your videos – good to know even pros make mistakes! Love the font in this stamp set. So pretty
That card “looks” simple but a card maker can see there are a lot of elements to it. The simplicity is gorgeous!
Really lovely cards
Cute Card – I like FB lives!

Love your flowers – and learning how to fix mistakes, because I make so many of them!
Great card. Love the colors. I prefer You tube live
I love this card, it looks like a layered card, great technique. I love You Tube and Facebook for videos. I do think You Tube is a better platform. Thanks for sharing.
Pretty cards. I just received my order of several of the new ink colors and was playing with them today. They are fabulous! Such pretty colors.
Great one layer card and I love how you “disguised” that little error. Good to see I’m not the only one.
