Both cards are colored beautifully, Sandy. Even though I live on a lake and enjoy seeing the otters, I don’t usually find them attractive…but yours are. I’m with you on the cruise vacation though with some sunshine and refreshing beverages. Great video, too!
Love the underwater scene and great water color technique. Nice take on the new release!
OMG that otter card, WOW!! Fantastic!
That was a fun video to watch.. not sure I’d have the patience for all that masking though. TFS
Absolutely amazing! I love how you create an amazing scene so seemingly effortlessly. Thanks for sharing!
Your coloring is always impeccable and the full scene for the otters is inspiring!

I just LOVE how you made the “Snorkeling View” card. That is soooooo cute!
I enjoy watching your videos. Love the porthole and otter cards – clever & cute.
Immediately drawn to the watercolor and happy to learn the granulation caused the beautiful colors. I only bought a few of the Primatek colors but chose them for their granulation effects. Since I’ve never played with them, it was so nice to learn that I won’t be disappointed once I finally have a go it them.
Wow!! The otters are so cute! Stunning card!!
Sandy, you are the queen of the scene. Gorgeous on both cards. And I loved the soundtracks. 🙂
Thank you for posting your creations. You make it look easy which by the way I know its not cause I tried it. But you also give me hope while I’m learning.
Love both of your cards!
I think everything is amazing!
Incredible as always
Oh yes this set makes you want to call a cruise line NOW. Love the colors you chose and the pillows what a nice touch. Thank you for sharing.
